If the total value of goods exported from a nation is less than the total value of goods imported to the nation, the nation is experiencing a Trade deficit.
The difference between imports and exports is known as the trade deficit or negative balance of trade (BOT). A trade deficit develops when an economy spends more on imports than on exports. It can be computed for various commodities and services as well as for cross-border transactions.
The difference between the monetary value of a country's exports and imports over a specific time period is known as the balance of trade deficit, commercial balance, or net exports. A distinction between a trade balance for products and one for services is occasionally drawn.

Answer:
E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.
Explanation:
Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.
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.)
Explanation:
Answer: $19000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Vaughn Manufacturing's allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190000 at the end of 2020 and $178000 at the end of 2019 and that for the year ended December 31, 2020, Vaughn reported bad debt expense of $31000 in its income statement.
The amount that Vaughn debited to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts will be:
= $31000 - ($190000 - $178000)
= $31000 - $12000
= $19000
Answer:
The answer is 5000 future contracts
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company
Nowm,
The Required coverage = 500,000,000
The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000
Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000
So,
= 500,000,000/100,000 = 5000
Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000
