Suppose an American buys stock issued by an Argentinian corporation. The Argentinian firm uses the proceeds from the sale to build a new office complex. This is an example of foreign <u>portfolio</u> investment in Argentina.
The following are the policies that are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries:
b. Providing tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
c. Protecting property rights and enforce contracts.
<u>Explanation</u>:
A foreign portfolio investment is the investment made by a foreigner in the form of purchase in country’s stock and bond markets or deposit of money in bank.
Foreign portfolio investment is important because it gives high risk-adjustment return to the investors. The investors get the opportunity to engage in international diversification of portfolio assets.
The growth of the developing countries can be increased by enforcing contracts and providing patents for the firms that deal with research and development in health and sciences.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold to be reported in consolidated financial statement = $1,000,000
Explanation:
Whenever there is 100% or more than 50% holding in a company, then equity method is followed under which all of the items are to be consolidated, but in case where there are inter transfers that is transfer from holding to subsidiary or vice-versa then such transactions, profit not realized is to be eliminated.
In case where inventory is transferred to subsidiary after adding profit by holding company, then in case if that inventory is sold to third party by year end then entire profit is recognized even the profit added by holding to cost of goods sold to subsidiary.
Where in case such inventory is not sold further by subsidiary to third party and is still held in the stock then such profit added on sale by holding to subsidiary is eliminated.
In our case the entire inventory is sold to third party by the year end.
Therefore, entire profit will be recognized and cost of goods sold to be shown in consolidated financial statements = $600,000 + $400,000 = $1,000,000.

Answer: The coupon rate is 13%
Explanation:
We would first calculate the Coupon Payment and then later using the coupon payment we would compute the Coupon rate.
PV = 
+ A [![[\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{N} } }{r} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%2Br%29%5E%7BN%7D%20%7D%20%7D%7Br%7D%20%5D)
]
Where,
FV = $1,000
PV = $1,291.31
r = 8%
N = 8 Years
A = Coupon Payment
1291.31 = 
+ A ![[\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.08)^{8} } }{0.08} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%2B0.08%29%5E%7B8%7D%20%7D%20%7D%7B0.08%7D%20%5D)
Solve for A
A = 130.69
The coupon payment is $130
Coupon rate = (Coupon payment / Face value) x 100
= 
x 100
= 13 %
Answer:
a. 27.9%
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the gross profit are shown below:
Gross profit = (Gross profit) ÷ (Sales) × 100
where,
Gross profit = $1,604
And, the sales revenue is $5,742
So, the gross profit is
= ($1,604) ÷ ($5,742) × 100
= 27.9%
By dividing the gross profit by the sales we can get the gross profit
