BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

a. Debit to Prepaid Insurance of $10,000

* Option for this question was missing so I have attached a similar question with this answer and answered accordingly.

Explanation:

Insurance purchased for four years was actually prepaid insurance on May 1, Year 2.

The company expensed all amount by positing following entry ( which is a wrong entry)

DR.   Insurance Expense  $12,000

Cr.    Cash                          $12,000

It should be entered as follow:

DR.   Prepaid Insurance   $12,000

Cr.    Cash                          $12,000

At the end of the year 2 8 months has been passed for which $2,000 is accrued and it will be recorded, as all the amount is charged to the expense account we will adjusted the remaining amount of $10,000 to correct this mistake.

Now at the end of year 2 the correct entry which will settle the expense and prepaid insurance as well is as follow.

DR.   Prepaid Insurance   $10,000

Cr.    Insurance Expense  $10,000

A major reason why it is difficult to lower the barriers to free trade is A. the loss of jobs without any gain of jobs from free
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.

Explanation:

One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.

Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.

How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.

The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.
