So, doing the calculations, Marion's had $700,000-240,000=$460,000-160,000 in expenses = $300,000 x 0.4 income tax=120,000 and so 300,000-120,000=$180,000 net value. Preston's had $700,000-40,000 depreciation=$660,000-160,000 expenses =$500,000 x 0.4 taxes= 200,000 taxes so 500,000-200,000=$300,000 net value. The result is Preston's had less depreciation which provided it with more spendable income.

Answer:
option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Beginning work in process inventory: $102,000
Direct materials used: 156,000
Actual overhead: 132,000
Overhead applied: 138,000
Cost of goods manufactured: 675,000
Total manufacturing costs: 642,000
Company's direct labor cost for the year:
= Total manufacturing costs - Overhead cost - Direct materials cost
= Total manufacturing costs - Overhead applied - Direct materials used
= $642,000 - $138,000 - $156,000
= $348,000
Answer: (C) When a country's real exchange rate appreciates, it imports more and exports less, causing its net exports to fall.
Explanation:
When a country's real exchange rate appreciates i.e the value of its currency increases, it imports more because more products could be bought with the same amount of the currency as a result of its increased value, and it export less because their goods would become more expensive for other countries resulting in reduced demand. Therefore, resulting in the fall of its net export. This is a form of trade balance.
