Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage refers to the situation where a country or individual can produce at a relatively lower cost or using fewer inputs.

Comparative advantage refers to the situation where a nation or an individual can produce a good at a relatively lower opportunity cost.

Country X takes fewer labor-hours to produce lumber than country X while country Y can produce cars more efficiently.  

This implies that country X has a comparative advantage in producing lumber and country Y has a comparative advantage in producing cars.  

So country Y will import lumber from country X and export cars to them.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$1,247.12

Explanation:

For computing the asked price we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 4.151% ÷ 2 = 2.076%

NPER = 17 years  × 2 = 34 years

The 20 years come from May 2019 to May 2036

PMT = $1,000 × 6.193% ÷ 2 = $30.965

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the present value or the ask price is $1,247.12

Riley Company promises to pay Janet Anderson or her estate $150,000 per year for the next 10 years, even if she leaves the compa
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The Answer is explanatory so it is given as under:

Explanation:

<u>Part 1. At the start of the year:</u>

The part of the salary includes $150,000 per year for the next 10 years and this must be recorded as an deferred compensation liability. All we have to do is to calculate the present value of the annual salary payments.

Present Value = Annual Payment * Annuity factor

And for Annuity factor we will use 5% rate of interest.

So

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1-r)^n) / r

Here

r = 5%

n = 10 years

Which means

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 5%)^10)  / 5%   = 7.722

Hence

Present value = $150,000 * 7.722 = $1,158,260

So the journal entry would be as under:

Dr Deferred Compensation expense $1,158,260

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability $1,158,260

<u>Part 2. At the end of the Year 1:</u>

At the first year end, the annual payment of $1,158,260 will be discounted back by using the following formula:

Discounted Back Amount = Annual Amount * (1- (1+r)^n)

Remember for the first year n is 10, for second n is 9 and so on.

Discounted Back Amount = 150,000 x (1 - 0.614) = $57,913

Dr Deferred Compensation Expense   $57,913

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability        $57,913

Part 3. And when the first payment of the salary is made, the journal entry would be:

Dr Deferred compensation Liability $ 150,000

Cr                                       Cash Account    $150,000

Likewise we will till the year 10 and will record the part 2 and part 3 until at the end of the year 10, the whole of the deferred tax liability is reduced to zero.

The life insurance policy payments can not be offset against the deferred compensation liability because it will be accounted for as a different transaction and hence must not be treated as Riley desires.

So the Cash surrender value will be treated as an asset and annual increase in this asset would be treated as an income.

Lewelling Company issued 101,000 shares of its $1 par common stock to the Michael Morgan law firm as compensation for 4,100 hour
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Paid in capital excess of par is $$309,000

Explanation:

<u>Journal Entries</u>

Debt: Legal services (4,100 hours × $100 per hour)  = $410,000

Credit: Common stock (101,000 shares × $1 par)  = $101,000

Credit: Paid-in capital - excess of par (Remainder)  = $309,000

To record the 101,000 shares compensated by 4,100 legal hours with $1 par value)

In the above transaction common stock issued in excess of par for legal services as compensation instead cash. Hence "legal services" have been debited as issuing company benefited for legal services. "Common stock" and "paid in capital in excess of par" has been credited as this issuing company issuing common stock.

Paid in capital excess of par is $$309,000
