Answer:

The net contribution to the Current Account Balance of Country A is $50

Explanation:

The credit entries include those entries which bring the money into the economy whereas the debit entries are those entries in which the expenses are more incurred or we can say more outflow of cash is there.

The debit and credit entries are shown below:

Debit entries:

1.  Country A's firms import from Country C $500 worth of steel

2. Country A's residents buy Country C's government bonds for $1000

3.  Country A's residents pay $100 in dividends on Country C's investments in Country A

Credit entries:

1. Country A's firms export to Country B $100 worth of grain

2. Country A's workers resident in Country B receive $500 in wages

3. Country A's residents receive $50 in interest from Country C's bonds they owned

4. Country A's central bank acquires $1000 worth of Country C's currency

Now the net contribution of the current account balance would be

= Total credit balance - total debit balance

= $100 + $500 + 50 + $1,000 - $500 - $1,000 - $100

= $50

The negative amount represents debit balance whereas the positive amount reflect a credit balance

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Energy can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost for a company. This is due to the sense that energy in the form of fixed electricity bill even when no production takes place (telephone bill), a fixed cost and electricity bill when production takes place would be a variable cost

B) An increment in fixed cost will shift the ATC curve to the right while the MC curve would remain the same because MC is the change in variable cost as output increases and is not related to fixed cost.

C) Corn cost is a variable cost for ethanol producer as each unit of corn is used to produce ethanol and thus use of corn is reliant upon how much ethanol is produced. This makes corn a variable input dependent on the production of output, therefore, the cost of corn is variable.

D) An increment in the variable cost will shift the ATC curve to the right and individual MC curve to the right.

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100
