If a customer wanted to return defective merchandise and the company that sold it to them offered to pay the cost of delivering it back to them, how would you record the cost of the delivery...as an expense or as merchandise inventory (assuming perpetual system?

Would you continue breastfeeding your child if the following conditions were all true,

a) your doctor highly recommended you take a medication that you absolutely cannot breastfeed on but will greatly improve your quality of life, and perhaps early death

b)there is another medication that isn;t as effective that you can take while breastfeeding

c) your baby is 13 months old

d) your baby is extremely attached to breastfeeding...(i know they all are, but EXTREMELY)

e) There is unlikely to be major consequences in the short term but there will be minor ones.

I am of course talking about myself. I am thinking of going on the less effective drug for a nother year or so, as a compromise to my daughter and then taking the first drug, but I am struggling with it. I know all of the information is not here but I was wondering more on a personal philosophy level.

Thanks

I am taking an intermediate accounting course that I don't have the prerequisite for, which is business math so I am learning about annuities quickly. Can someone answer this question and put out all the steps so that I can see how you did it? Thank you ever so much.

A hockey player was reported to have received an $11 million contract. The terms were a signing bonus of $500,000 in 2000 plus $500,000 in 2010 through the year 2013. In addition, he was to receive a base salary of $300,000 in 2000 that was to increase $100,000 a year to the year 2004; in 2005 he was to receive $1 million a year that would increase $100,000 per year to the year 2009.

Assuming that the appropriate interest rate was 9% and that each payment occurred on December 31 of the respective year, calculate the present value of this contract as of December 31, 2000.

Did you tell them that they were going to get a needle in order to prepare them or did you just surprise them thinking they didn't need to worry about it ahead of time? My daughter is 6 months old so telling her isn't really an option but I am wondering what other parents have done as they have gotten older and understand more.
