Answer:
Australia has purchasing-power parity with the U.S.
Explanation:
A basket of goods costs $800 in the US. The same basket costs 1,000 euros in France and 960 Australian dollars in Australia.
The nominal exchange rate for euros is .80 euros per U.S. dollar and for Australian dollars, it is 1.2 Australian dollars per U.S. dollar.
The purchasing power parity theory compares the currency of two countries through a basket of goods. The currency of the two countries is in equilibrium or is at par if a basket of goods cost the same in both the countries.
This method compares the economic productivity and standard of living in two countries.
Converting the value of basket in France into US dollars,
= 
= $1,250
Converting the value of basket in Australia into US dollars,
= 
= $800
The cost of the basket of goods is same in Australia. This indicates that Australia has purchasing-power parity with the U.S.

Explanation:
The adjusting entry is as follows
Insurance expense A/c Dr $4,800
To Prepaid insurance A/c $4,800
(Being the insurance expense is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= Beginning balance + debited amount - unexpired insurance amount
= $6,600 + $2,300 - $4,100
= $4,800
So while preparing the adjusting entry, we debited the insurance expense account and credited the prepaid insurance account
Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.
Explanation:
Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.
Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.
