Answer:

The expected profit from the addition is $47,000

Explanation:

Total Addition can be calculated by netting expected values of all situations as follow:

Expected value = %Chance x additional Profit/loss

i Expected profit = 50% x $100,000 = $50,000

ii Expected profit = 30% x $0 = $0 (Profit is same there is no addition)

iii Expected profit = 20% x ($15,000) = ($3,000)

The expected profit from the addition = $50,000 + ($3,000) = $47,000

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer is: full disclosure principle

Explanation:

Full disclosure principle in accounting refers to the requirement that businesses are supposed to provide all material information pertaining to their operations to the stakeholders of the business so as to facilitate better decision-making frameworks when evaluating the business.

The going concern principle is based on the assumption that the business will not cease operating in the foreseeable future. The matching principle requires that the expenses incurred in carrying out an economic activity are recorded in the same period as the revenues earned from that activity. The historical cost principle requires assets or liabilities to be recorded at their acquisition value.

= 6,000

We simply do the proportion based on the meats department by dividing the total square feet

How physical assets valuation and development and research pose risk.<br>​
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The differences between US GAAP and IFRS pose an extra cost because international corporations must prepare two separate accounting statements. But besides that, other potential risks include paying higher taxes than what the companies should pay int their home countries and the uncertainty generated by changing rules.

Not only do current tax rates affect potential investments, e.g. currently companies in the US pay relatively low corporate taxes (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) but these benefits end on 2025. But also different methods for valuating physical assets and R&D costs can represent higher than expected taxes. E.g. depending on a company's needs, it may be beneficial to expense all R&D costs right away, or maybe it would be better to capitalize some of them after technical feasibility is achieved (IFRS).

The main advantage of having uniform rules (e.g. UCC) is that all the companies know exactly what to expect and how to act. Certainty decreases risk, and less risk reduces costs.

Explanation:

In the US, the vast majority of firms use US GAAP as their accounting method, but around the world the IFRS method is used.

Physical asset valuation is the process of determining the value of your physical assets including P, P & E, and also inventories.

  • When valuing inventories IFRS uses FIFO, while US GAAP allows FIFO, LIFO or weighted average costing methods. US GAAP also values inventory at lesser of cost or market value, while IFRS values inventory at lesser of cost or net realizable value.
  • US GAAP uses the cost method to determine the historic cost of an asset, while IFRS uses basically the same method but does not include all the costs of location of the assets (e.g. cost of removing or clearing a facility).
  • US GAAP recognizes non-monetary exchanges while IFRS doesn't.
  • IFRS also allows the cost of asset to be revalued, which can result in unrealized gains or losses. The US GAAP only considers historic costs.
  • There are also other minor differences regarding depreciation, disposals and impairment rules.

Research and development must be expensed right away under US GAAP, while IFRS basically requires the same, it allows some capitalization of development expenditures if certain criteria is met (technical feasibility is achieved).
