Answer:
AFS 2004 market price decline exceeded 2005 market price recovery
No No
The security cannot be classified as available-for-sale because the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in owners' equity, not earnings.
The second part of the question is somewhat ambiguous. The 2004 price decline could exceed or be exceeded by the 2005 price recovery. The loss in the first year is not related in amount and does not constrain the realized gain in the second year.
The way to answer the question is to read the right column heading as implying that the earlier price decline must exceed the later price recovery. With that interpretation, the correct answer is no.
For example, assume a cost of $10 and a market value of $4 at the end of the first year. An unrealized loss of $6 is recognized in earnings. During the second year, the security is sold for $12. A realized gain of $8 is recognized-the increase in the market value from the end of the first year to the sale in the second year. Thus, the market decline in the first year did not exceed the recovery in year two. (It could have exceeded the recovery in year two but there is no requirement that it must.)

Answer:
The answer is comparative advantage.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is when a country is able to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partners. That means a labour can produce more goods per hour than a labour in its trading partner's country.
A country with a comparative advantage will be able to charge lower price for what she is specialising on.
Answer:
Effective interest on June 30 on a 6% $60 million bond at 7% effective rate is $1,950,778
The interest is treated in the books of account thus:
Debit interest expense $1,950,778
Credit Bond account $1,950,778
Explanation:
The effective interest is computed using the below formula
Amount x Effective Rate (%) = Interest Expense
Amount=$55,736,520
Effective rate =7%/2 =3.5% semi-annually
Interest expense=$55,736,520*3.5%
Interest expense=$1,950,778
Answer:
- Cheaper labor.
- Cheaper auto parts.
Explanation:
China has cheaper labor rates than the United States in comparative industries including in the motor vehicle producing industry. Ford may want to take advantage of this to make cars at a smaller cost in China and therefore make more profit in sales.
Car parts are also easier and cheaper to acquire in China. Steel for instance, is a very valuable commodity in motor vehicle manufacturing and China happens to be the largest producer in the world. Having access to cheaper materials would increase Ford's profitability as well.
