The topic for the paper I need assistance on is the long term effects of the coronavirus on business and society.

A large number of businesses have closed, unemployment claims have risen to an all-time high, the US stock markets have tumbled in a manner not seen since the great depression, and all this is happening just a few months after we saw the economy achieve a series of all-time low unemployment records for different groups along with all-time high stock market averages.

With all these things in mind, my assignment is to select an industry that is of interest to you and then write a short essay on the changes that you believe will take place in that industry, its firms, the operating procedures of firms and possibly also in available jobs and job requirements. I was thinking small restaurant business industry,

I need assistance with this 500-word essay. Thank you!

There are 1000 mailboxes at a post office, numbered 1, 2, 3, …, 1000. There are also 1000 mailbox owners, one for each mailbox. At the start of the Mailbox Challenge, all mailboxes are closed and the owners open and close the mailboxes according to the following rules:

Owner 1 opens every mailbox.

Owner 2 closes every second mailbox; that is, lockers 2, 4, 6, 8, …, 1000.

Owner 3 changes the state of every third locker, closing it if it is open and

opening it if it is closed.

Owner n changes the state of every nth mailbox, etc.

When all the owners have taken their turns, how many mailboxes are open?

Royals Incorporated leases a piece of equipment to Polar Corporation on January 1, 2020. The lease agreement called for annual rental payments of $8,648 at the beginning of each year of the 3-year lease. The equipment has a fair value of $35,000, a book value of $20,000, and an economic useful life of 5 years after which the residual value will be zero. Both parties expect a residual value of $12,500 at the end of the lease term, though this amount is not guaranteed. Royals set the lease payments with the intent of earning a 6% return, and Polar is aware of this rate. There is no bargain purchase option, ownership of the lease does not transfer at the end of the lease term, and the asset is not of a specialized nature.


Instructions:


(Round all numbers to the nearest dollar.)


(a) Describe the nature of the lease to both Royals and Polar.


(b) Prepare the lease amortization schedule(s) for Polar for all 3 years of the lease.


(c) Prepare the journal entries for Polar for 2020 and 2021.
