Answer:
decrease; increase
Explanation:
This is the case because as the central bank of that country lowers interest rate, with the goal recovering from the recession, but because the interest rate is low, the value of the country's currency (exchange rate) will decrease as a result of low investment spending.

Answer:
A) Company A is the one that is financially leveraged.
Where there is the presence of debt in the capital structure of a firm, that firm is said to be Financially leveraged.
B) A is true.
A company's return on equity or expected returns increases because the use of leverage increases stock volatility. Volatility increases its level of risk which in turn increases returns. This happens only if the company is operating an ideal level of financial leverage.
On the other hand, however, but excessive debt can increase the risk of default and can lead to low returns or even bankruptcy.

Activity based costing have four steps, the steps are as follows:
1. Identification and classification of all the activities in the value chain in relation to the production of the product.
2. Estimation of total cost for each of the activities identified.
3. Computation of a cost driver rate for each activity based on a cost allocation base which has a causal link to the cost of the activity.
4. Application of the activity cost to product using the appropriate cost driver rate.
Answer:
$4080
Explanation:
Straight line method of depreciation is a method of calculating depreciation expense of an asset after years of usage.
Given;
Initial cost of asset = $44,000
Salvage value = $3,200
After five years the asset has depreciated by ($44000-$3200) i.e
$40800
Depreciable asset cost = $40,800 (after 5years)
To determine the depreciation amount recorded during the first year ending 31st December;
Since the van was purchased July 1 of that year, by December 31 of the same year, the van must have been used only for 6months i.e (0.5year)
Depreciation expense = year of usage/total useful life × depreciable cost of asset
Depreciation expense = 0.5/5×$40,800
Depreciation expense = $20,400/5
Depreciation expense = $4080
