The law of comparative advantage can be regarded as one set up by David Ricardo in the year 1817, which gives reason that is behind international trade that exist between different countries , even the business, workers as well as factories of a country have efficiency at production of every single good compare to other country.
Comparative advantage shows the ability of an economy have in production of a particular good/ service having lower opportunity cost compare to its trading partners.
A purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically, Multiple Choice should never hedge since this could actually increase its currency exposure. faces no exchange rate risk and should never hedge since this could actually increase its currency exposure. faces no exchange rate risk. faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Answer:
faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Explanation:
Exchange rate risk is defined as the risk that exists when a company engaged in transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency rather than the domestic currency.
So if a purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically has international competitors in its local market, and the exchange rate is favouring the competitors there will be a risk for them.
For example if international competitors can source raw materials cheaper because of the exchange rate of a foreign country, it will be a disadvantage to local firms that cannot reduce their prices.

Total fixed costs $590,000 $590,000
Net income $310,000 $760,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $32
Expected unit sales 60,000 90,000
Production units 60,000 90,000
Beginning inventory = 0
Selling price per unit = $33
Variable manufacturing costs = $13 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs = $540,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses = $5
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $50,000
b) The key difference lies with the treatment of fixed and variable costs. With absorption costing, the fixed manufacturing costs are included in the costs of products. With variable costing, they are treated as period costs or expenses. Also, with variable costing, variable selling and administrative costs are included in the variable costs of the products. The variable costing method calculates the contribution margin before deducting the fixed expenses to arrive at the net income. On the other hand, the absorption costing method calculates the gross profit instead of the contribution margin.
Suppose an American business owner purchases chocolates from Belgium in order to sell them in her shops. This would be entered as a ____________ item under the ___________________ section of the U.S. current account. Consider the goods and services balance. According to the table, the United States is running a trade ____________ .
The current account balance suggests that U.S. current account transactions (exports and imports of goods and services, as well as inflow and outflow of investment income and transfers) created outpayments of foreign currencies from the United States that were __________________the inpayments of foreign currencies to the United States.
Any surplus or deficit in one account must be offset by deficits or surpluses in other balance-of-payments accounts. Because the current account is in ____________ , the excess of foreign currency held by Americans must either be loaned to foreigners or used to buy foreign stocks or bonds. All of these transactions are then recorded in the _______________account. Since any imbalance in one account automatically leads to an equal, but opposite, imbalance in the other, the balance of payments is always _____________
Answer:
Debit
U.S. merchandise imports
Surplus
equal to
Surplus
current
zero
Explanation:
The trade deficit or surplus is based on the exports and imports of the country. When the imports are higher than exports then there will be trade deficit in the current account. In the given scenario the case is other way round, here imports are less than exports which suggests that there is a trade surplus which is offset by other accounts and balance of payment turn out to be zero.
Superior Developers sells lots for residential development. When lots are sold, Superior recognizes income for financial reporting purposes in the year of the sale. For some lots, Superior recognizes income for tax purposes when the cash is collected. In 2020, Superior sold lots for $40 million for which no cash was collected at the time of the sale. This cash will be collected equally over 2021 and 2022. The enacted tax rate was 40% at the time of the sale. In 2021, a new tax law was enacted, revising the tax rate from 40% to 25% beginning in 2022. Calculate the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2021. (Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).)
Answer:
$11 million
Explanation:
Calculation for the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2021
Deferred tax liability 12/31/2020 $16.0
($40 future taxable amt. × 40%)
Less Deferred tax liability 12/31/2021 (5.0)
($40/2 equally future taxable amt. × 25%)
Reduction needed to achieve desired balance $11
($16.00-$5.00)
Therefore the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2021 is by reducing it to $11 million:

Inventory cost by:
FIFO ( first-in, first-out method)
July 21 Purchases 75 units at $136 $10,200
Nov. 23 Purchases 1,125 units at $140 157,500
Dec. 31 Inventory 1,200 $167,700
LIFO (last-in, first-out method)
Jan. 1 Inventory 1,000 units at $120 $120,000
Feb. 17 Purchases 200 units at $128 25,600
Dec. 31 Inventory 1,200 $145,600
Weighted-Average Cost Method
Total cost of goods available/Total units available for sale
= $657,500/5,000
= $131.50 per unit
Inventory cost = $157,800 ($131.50 * 1,200)
You are evaluating two investment alternatives. One is a passive market portfolio with an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 16%. The other is a fund that is actively managed by your broker. This fund has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free rate is currently 7%. Answer the questions below based on this information. a. What is the slope of the Capital Market Line
Answer:
the slope of the capital market line is 0.1875
Explanation:
The computation of the slope of the capital market line is shown below:
= (Expected return - risk free rate of return) ÷ (standard deviation)
= (10% - 7%) ÷ 16%
= 3% ÷ 16%
= 0.1875
hence, the slope of the capital market line is 0.1875
We simply used the above formula to measured the slope of the capital market line

Answer the question on the basis of the following cost data.
Output Average Fixed Cost Average Variable Cost
1 $50.00 $100.00
2 25.00 80.00
3 16.67 66.67
4 12.50 65.00
5 10.00 68.00
6 8.37 73.33
7 7.14 80.00
8 6.25 87.50
The marginal cost curve would intersect the average variable cost curve at about: ____________
a. 2 units of output.
b. 4 units of output.
c. 6 units of output.
d. 7 units of output.
Answer:
b. 4 units of output
Explanation:
MC and AVC have the following relationship:
a. MC is above AVC when AVC is rising
b. MC is below AVC when AVC is falling
c. MC = AVC when AVC is at its minimum
Thus, MC would intersect the AVC curve at its minimum point. Since AVC is minimum at 4 units of output equal to 65. It means MC intersects AVC at 4 units of output.
Paola and Isidora are married; file a joint tax return; report modified AGI of $148,000; and have one dependent child, Dante. The couple paid $12,000 of tuition and $10,000 for room and board for Dante (a freshman). Dante is a full-time student and claimed as a dependent by Paola and Isidora. Determine the amount of the American Opportunity credit for 2020.
Answer:
$2,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount is shown below;
In the case when the modified AGI upto $180,000 so it would be credit by $2,500 per eligible student
As we can see that in the given situation there is modified AGI that reported $148,000 so here the amount of the American Opportunity credit for 2020 is $2,500 also we assume that the eligibility condition would be satisfied

Per-share values:
Market $53 $18
Book $14 $8
Assume that Firm X acquires Firm Y by issuing long-term debt to purchases all the shares outstanding at a merger premium of $5 per share. Construct the post-merger balance sheet for Firm X assuming the use of the purchase accounting method.
Answer:
Firm X and Firm Y
Post-merger Balance Sheet for Firm X
Net assets $886,000
Goodwill 90,000
Total assets $976,000
Common stock $742,000
Long-term debt 234,000
Total liabilities and
equity $976,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Firm X Firm Y
Total earnings $96,000 $22,500
Shares outstanding 53,000 18,000
Per-share values:
Market $53 $18
Book $14 $8
Net assets $742,000 $144,000
= (53,000*$14) (18,000*$8)
Net assets = Common Stock for each company
Merger premium on Firm Y $5
Goodwill on acquisition = $90,000 (18,000 * $5)
Investment in Firm Y = $234,000 (18,000 * ($8 + $5)
Long-term debt issued = $234,000
Net assets
Firm X net assets before acquisition = $742,000
Firm Y net assets before acquisition = 144,000
Net value of combined assets = $886,000
Predetermined Factory Overhead Rate Novus Engine Shop uses a job order cost system to determine the cost of performing engine repair work. Estimated costs and expenses for the coming period are as follows: Engine parts $1,257,500 Shop direct labor 550,000 Shop and repair equipment depreciation 91,000 Shop supervisor salaries 250,000 Shop property taxs 40,000 Shop supplies 15,000 Advertising expense 75,000 Administrative office salaries 175,000 Administrative office depreciation expense 12,500 Total costs and expenses $2,466,000 The average shop direct labor rate is $25 per hour. Determine the predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour. $fill in the blank 1 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead cost for the period:
Estimated overhead cost= Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies
Estimated overhead cost= 91,000 + 250,000 + 40,000 + 15,000
Estimated overhead cost= $396,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 396,000 / (550,000/25)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 396,000 / 22,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per direct labor hour

b) Family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business.
c) Protecting a family member is sometimes more important than a good business
d) decision.
Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Answer: Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Explanation:
In a culture with strong business and family ties, we should note that several members of the family may work in the same business.
Also, the family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business. This is to ensure that the family members have a say in the affairs of the company. The family members are protected as well.
The option that isn't true is that families and their businesses are very mobile. This isn't true. The business is of importance and the family members aren't usually mobile.
Earley Corporation issued perpetual preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend. The stock currently yields 6%, and its par value is $100. Round your answers to the nearest cent. What is the stock's value
Answer:
Value of stock = $133.33
Explanation:
The value of a preferred stock is the present value of the constant dividend payable for the foreseeable future discounted at the required rate of return
Price = Constant dividend/ required return
The constant dividend = Dividend rate × par value= 8%*100= 8
Requited return - 6%
So the price of the stock would be
Price = 8/0.06=133.33
Value of stock = $133.33

On January 1, Year 2, Kincaid Company's Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts carried balances of $76,000 and $4,000, respectively. During Year 2, Kincaid reported $215,000 of credit sales, wrote off $2,100 of receivables as uncollectible, and collected cash from receivables amounting to $271,100. Kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales. What effect will the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 have on the elements of the financial statements
Answer:
The effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = Credit sales * Estimated percentage uncollectable = $215,000 * 1% = $2,150
Ending account receivable = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales - Cash collected - Receivales written off as uncollectable - Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = $76,000 + $215,000 - $271,100 - $2,100 - $2,150 = $15,560
Ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Beginning Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Receivales written off as uncollectable = $4,000 - $2,100 = $1,900
Therefore, the effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.
Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520
Answer: $76920
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.
Then, the cost of recovery will be:
= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel
= 1/39 × $3,000,000
= $76,920
Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920
What is the impact on the accounting equation when an accounts receivable is collected?
Spa Inc. gathered the following information related to its gift card sales for 2020, its first year of selling gift cards: Sales of nonrefundable gift cards, 2020$25,500 Gift card redemptions, 2020$18,360 Spa Inc. estimates that 95% of the value of gift cards sold in 2020 will be redeemed while 5% will remain unclaimed. Under the proportional method, what would Spa Inc. recognize for gift card breakage revenue in 2020
Answer: $969
Explanation:
Since 5% of the value of the gift card sold will be unclaimed, the amount claimed will be:
= $25500 - (5% × $25500)
= $25500 -(0.05 × $25500)
= $25500 - $1275
= $24225
We then find the percentage of the cards that have been redeemed already and this will be:
= $18360 / $24225
= 0.7579
= 76%
Therefore, breakage in revenue to be recognized will be:
= ($25500 × 5%) × 76%
= $1275 × 76%
= $1275 × 0.76
= $969
Laurel Enterprises expects earnings next year of $ per share and has a retention rate, which it plans to keep constant. Its equity cost of capital is , which is also its expected return on new investment. Its earnings are expected to grow forever at a rate of per year. If its next dividend is due in one year, what do you estimate the firm's current stock price to be?
Answer: $49.26
Explanation:
Using the Gordon Growth model, the price of stock should be:
= Next divided / (Cost of equity - growth rate)
Next dividend = Earnings per share * (1 - Retention rate)
= 4.44 * ( 1 - 40%)
= $2.66
Price of stock:
= 2.66 / (9% - 3.6%)
= $49.26
Suppose 5 years have gone by and the company has to make a decision on how to move forward. It can either pay out all earnings as dividends without considering any growth opportunities or choose a growth strategy where the company will expand into new lines of business in global markets. If the management chooses this strategy, the payout ratio will be reduced down to 20% from 35%, and the company will be able to maintain a growth rate of 7% forever. Which strategy should the management choose to maximize shareholder value
Answer:
The management should choose the growth strategy. It is always more rewarding and maximizes the shareholder value better than embarking on a payout strategy.
Explanation:
Choosing a payout strategy, which does not ensure growth, is not sustainable and does not maximize shareholder value. Business expansion through market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification ensures business growth and maximizes shareholder wealth, enabling the company to pay out more in dividends stretched over longer streams.
An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $6,020,000 and will be sold for $1,220,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset
Answer:
The after-tax salvage value of the asset is:
= $793,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Asset acquisition cost = $6,020,000
Salvage value = $1,220,000
MACRS Depreciation Expenses = $4,800,000
Project useful life or project duration = 5 years
Tax rate = 35%
Tax expense = $427,000
After-tax salvage value = $793,000 ($1,220,000 - $427,000)
b) The salvage value of the project asset is the recovery or residual value after depreciation expenses have been recognized over the project asset's useful life. Depreciation is an accounting method of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life. There are many depreciation methods, including straight-line, double-declining, unit-of-production, sum-of-the-years digits, etc.

is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%
The Argentine peso was fixed through a currency board at Ps1.00/$ throughout the 1990s. In January 2002 the Argentine peso was floated. On January 29, 2003 it was trading at Ps3.20/$. During that one year period Argentina's inflation rate was 20% on an annualized basis. Inflation in the United States during that same period was 2.2% annualized.
Required:
a. What should have been the exchange rate in January 2003 if PPP held?
b. By what percentage was the Argentine peso undervalued on an annualized basis?
c. What were the probable causes of undervaluation?
Answer:
1. 1.17416 peso/$
2. -63.30%
Explanation:
1. The exchange rate in January if PPP is held
1.00 = exchange rate
20 % = inflation in Argentina
0.22% = us inflation
1.00(1+0.20)/(1+0.022)
= 1.00x1.20/1.022
= 1.17416 pesos/$
B. Percentage by which pesos was devalued
(PPP/actual exchange rate)-1
= 1.17416/3.20 -1
= 0.366925-1

Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated inventory
Answer:
$173,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total consolidated inventory is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Percentage profits that Alpha charge to other customers is
= ($800,000 - $600,000) ÷ $800,000
= 25% of sales
Stock held at year end is
= $100,000 × 40%
= $40,000
Profit involved in stock is
= $40,000 × 25%
= $10,000
Now the stock of beta is
= $88,000 - $10,000
= $78,000
And finally, the Total for consolidated inventory is
= $95,000 + $78,000
= $173,000

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:
Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor
Loan amount =Balance payment= ?
Monthly annuity factor =
=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r
r- Monthly interest rate (r)
= 12/12= 1%
n- Number of months ( n) = 12× 4 = 48
Annuity factor
= ( 1- (1.01)^(-48)/0.01= 37.97
Total payments= 600 × 37.973
= $22,784.37
Cost of car = Down payment and the present value of balance
= 5,000+ 22,784.3=$27,784
