Answer:

The incurrence of a loss is reasonably possible.

Explanation:

A contingency loss is an expense charge on the financial statements for an event that may arise in future (a lawsuit).

If the amount of contingency loss can be estimated to a reasonable extent and the likelihood of the event happening is high, such loss will be recorded in the accounting records as an expense in the current accounting year. The loss has to be material enough for it to be recognized, although materiality is relative. What is termed "material" by one firm may be "immaterial" to another.

Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $60 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs NOK 40 in Norway. Holdin
Helen [10]

Answer:

4.5 and 3

Explanation:

We know that

Real exchange rate = Nominal exchange rate × (Cost of the basket in US  ÷  Cost of the basket in  Norway)

So according to this formula, the computation is shown below

When the nominal exchange rate is 3, then the real exchange rate would be

= 3 × (60 ÷ 40)

= 4.5

When the nominal exchange rate is 2, then the real exchange rate would be

= 2 × (60 ÷ 40)

= 3
