AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Earnings per share for 2017 = $1.707

Explanation:

Earnings per share relates to the specific period, that how much on each individual share the earnings has been during the period.

Therefore, if there is change in number of equity shares average is taken, for that.

Equity on 1 Jan 2017 = 160,000 shares

Equity on 31 December 2017 = 250,000 shares

Average = \frac{160,000 + 250,000}{2} = 205,000

Earnings per share for 2017 = \frac{Net\ Income}{Average\ number\ of\ shares}

= \frac{350,000}{205,000} = 1.707

Earnings per share = $1.71 (Rounded off)

Indicate whether each of the following transactions represents an increase in net exports, a decrease in net exports, an increas
Alborosie

Answer:

Net export decreases and net capital outflow decreases

Net export increases and net capital outflow decreases

Net export decreases and net capital outflow increases

Net export increases and net capital outflow increases

Explanation:

Net export = export - import

export would comprise of goods and services produced in the US that are been sold to foreign countries

Import would comprise of foreign produced goods and services that are been sold in the US

Net export would increase when export occurs and decrease when import occurs

Net capital outflow measures the flow of funds in a country. It is the difference between purchase of foreign assets by the citizens of a country and the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners

Net capital outflow = purchase of foreign assets by citizens - purchase of domestic assets by foreigners

Net capital outflow is positive when purchase of foreign assets occur and negative when purchase of domestic assets occur.

1. the setting up of the factory is an import and there is a flow of funds into the US economy. Thus, net export and net capital flow decrease

2. A Apple computer is produced in the US. The sale to a German constitutes an export but there is a flow of fund into the US economy. net export increase and net capital outflow decreases

3. Sony is not produced in the US. the purchase of the TV constitutes an import and there is a flow of funds out of the US economy. Net export reduces and net capital outflow increases

4. The opening of the fashion company outlet in the UK constitutes an export and there is a flow of funds out of the US. Net export increases and net capital outflow increases
