If the U.S. government was concerned that the depreciating value of the US$ caused the Japanese government unstable, it would sell yen in the foreign exchange market. If successful the $/yen exchange rate would decline.

Explanation:

Yen that would increase market yen supply and market dollar demand, which would stabilise the dollar price. $/yen means the number of dollars for yen that may be purchased.

This value will decline as the dollar begins to appreciate.

The average Nikkei 225 fell by 7.2 percent relative to its April point at 14 May. And, in April, the yen increased to 109-110 from 112-113 to the dollar. The fall of the stock market did not cause the yen to rise for the first time. As the following chart shows, Japan's stock market downturn has been strongly influenced since 2004 by a high yen as a result of the increase in stock prices.

meriva

Answer:

Over this 10-year period, the benefit to cost ratio is:

= 1.33.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of additional anti-pollution equipment = $2 million

Estimated useful life of the equipment = 10 years

Additional annual labor cost for equipment usage = $100,000

This gives a total labor cost of $1 million over the 10-year period.

Therefore, the total cost = $3 million

Savings (benefits) from lowering the air pollutants in the region = $4 million in medical expenses.

The benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) = $4/$3 = 1.33

b) The Benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) is a cost–benefit analysis that summarizes the value-for-money of a project by expressing the relationship between the project's benefits and costs in monetary terms. The BCR shows the future profitability of investment alternatives or options. It is normally expressed in terms of net present value.

: IAS 2 Inventories allows producers of gold and silver to measure inventories of those commodities at selling price, even befor
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Not only does IAS 2 norm allow this, also US GAAP allows this. I believe that the reasoning behind that is the following:

Holding precious metals in inventory is actually considered an investment. Precious metals are commodities, and since they can be easily traded around the world, just having them increases a company's wealth. The revenue recognition principle (top of the inverted pyramid) applies here even to any individual that finds gold nuggets by accident in the country side (no need to be a mining business). The fact that you possess gold increases your personal assets and net wealth. The same applies to other precious metals. This happens because gold or other precious metals can be easily converted into cash (extremely liquid), e.g. this same individual can go to a local jewelry or or a pawn shop and sell the gold nuggets he found.

If finding a gold nugget increases an individual's net worth, then imagine what holding a ton of gold does to a company. What makes gold and silver so special is that they are accepted everywhere. Remember that until the early 1970s, the worlds' currencies were based on the price of gold (gold standard). Most central banks in the wold hold gold reserves and they also follow this same logic. Price of gold increases, the wealth of the nation increases.
