Answer:
b. Production
Explanation:
Global Value Chains have been successful over the years due to most components being produced in the country where<em> it is cheaper to do so</em> and then the final output<em> is integrated in other country</em>.
Thus globalization of production has enabled <em>firms</em> to take advantage of national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production.
The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is <u>$14,000</u>.
<u>
Explanation</u>:
<em><u>Given</u></em>:
Cost of van= $32,000
Estimated residual value= $3,200
Straight-line Depreciation Rate= 1/8
= 0.125
Straight-line Depreciation Rate= 12.5%
Declining Balance Rate = 2 ×12.5%
= 25%
Double declining balance can be calculated with the following formula:
2 x basic depreciation rate x book value
By applying the values,
The adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account= $14,000.
None of those answers are suitable to me.
Government bonds are generally regarded as low-risk and they typically have modest (low) interest rates for return on investment, and these are advantages really. So we can discount answer A, C, and D.
I guess you could say that bonds can be hard to find (Answer B) but this not really true. There is always a bond market to trade bonds on. It requires setting up a trading account or speaking to a broker so this can be more difficult than putting money in a bank account, but to be honest I don't think any of those answers are appropriate for the question.
Answer:
$240; $160
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
if there is 40% of money engaged in the risk portfolio is
= $1000 × 40%
= $400
Now amount in X is
= $400 × 0.60
= $240
And, the amount in Y is
= $400 × 0.40
= $160
hence, the last option is correct
All other valeus i.e. given in the question is not relevant. hence, ignored it
