Answer:
I used the most recent figures of the international property rights index (year 2019), and the most recent GDP per capita estimamtes by the IMF in purchasing power parity. (year 2019)
Three countries with high scores, with GDP per capita (PPP):
- Finland - score of 8.712 - U$ 46.430
- Switzerland - score of 8.571 - U$ 64.649
- United States - score of 8.202 - U$ 62.606
Three countries with low scores, with GDP per capita (PPP):
- Ukraine - score of 4.432 - U$ 9.283
- Pakistan - score of 3.874 - U$ 5.680
- Haiti - score of 2.703 - U$ 1.864
The pattern that we find is that there is a strong correlation between the International Property Right Index scores and the GDP per capita figures. This is consistent with the findings in other similar rankings such as the Global Competitiveness Report, published by the World Economic Forum, and the Economic Freedom Index, published by the Heritage Foundation.
What can be interpreted is that property rights, and the strong enforcement of those property rights promote economic development and growth. This is because the protection of private property stimulates human action. For example, the United States has a strong judiciary, and rule of law. In this country, people can invest their money in a project with the certainty that those invesments will not be expropriated by an arbitrary judiciary. This promotes development because investing leads to higher economic output.
Those same incentives do not exist in countries that do not enforce property rights, and that is one of the main reasons why they are poor.
Answer:
COGS 3807 debit
FG 7896 debit
WIP 2397 debit
Factory Overhead 14,100 credit
--to record the underapplication of overhead--
Explanation:
overhead rate:
$515,000 overhead / 515,000 labor cost = $1
each labor cost generates a dollar of overhead.
221,400 x 1 = 221,400 overhead in COGS
459,200 x 1 = 459,200 overhead in Finished Goods
139,400 x 1 = 139,400 overhead in WIP inventory
Total applied 820,000
Actual 805,900
Underapplied 14,100
Now we weight each concept and determiante the portion underapplocated in each concept

Answer:
A. Will be the nine month period between August 15 and May 15; any time period longer than this will be long run for her.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Firm A is operating at full capacity, if its sales keep increasing, then t will need to invest to expand its production capacity. Since firm B is operating below full capacity level, if its sales keep increasing it will have some spare production capacity it can use before operating at full capacity.
Therefore firm A will need to invest in an expansion of its production capacity while firm B can keep operating without new investments.
