What is the difference between a command economy and a traditional economy?

1 answer:

8 0

A traditional economy is an economy wherein the people primarily subsists on growing their own food and produce. Usually, just about the right amount is produced and if there is any excess, it is given to the local lords. Also, bartering is the main practice of trading in a traditional economy. In a command economy, it is a dictator who will dictate who should make what and how much of a certain product should be made. The government will also decide at what price the people will price the products.

2014 $ 108,750

2015 $ 79,750

2016 $ 58,000

2017 $ 14,500

dobule declining method

2014 135,000

2015 45,000

2016 15,000

2017 9,000

Explanation:

Straight line:

(cost - salvage value) / useful life

(270,000 - 9,000)/3 = 87,000 per complete year

First year: from April 1st to December 31th

87,000 x 9/12 = 65,250

Second and third year are complete year thus, 87,000

fourth year: from Jan 1st to March 31th:

87,000 x 3/12 = 21,750

units-of-output method:

(cost - salvage value) / unit of output

261,000 / 18,000 = 14.5 per hour

We multiply each year hours by this rate

7,500 x 14.5 = 108,750

5,500x 14.5 = 79,750

4,000x 14.5 = 58,000

1,000 x 14.5 = 14,500

double declining

we multiply by twice the rate of of straight line:

1/3 x 2 = 2/3 we depreciate this amount of the carrying vbalue per year

Last year we adjust to obtain the residual value

Year Beginning Rate Dep expense Carrying value

2014 270,000 0.50 135,000 135,000

2015 135,000 0.67 90,000 45,000

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

An investment that "promises" a 44 percent annual return is most likely a scam, because even the riskiest stocks rarely yield annual returns higher than 10% of the initial investment.

Besides, the option is described as very complicated, and you as a potential investor do not understand it well, which is a very difficult position to be in because it could even lead you to being scammed without realizing.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$31,500

Explanation:

On November 1, 2019, Kate leased out a buliding for $4,500 per month.

On the same day( November 1, 2019) she received seven months payment for the building. Which means she received $31,500 (4,500* 7 months).

Accural taxpayers must be able to include all amount they are to receive for payments of services, once they earn it.

Since Kate is an accural taxpayer, and she receive the $31,500 payment on November 1, 2019, she must include the whole $31,500 on her 2019 tax return as a result of this transaction.
