Answer:

Capital Loss

Explanation:

A capital loss occurs when an investment asset decrease in value between the time of purchase and the time for selling. The loss is realized only when the asset is sold. Examples of investment assets that can lose value include stocks, mutual funds, index funds, real estate, and bonds.

A capital gain or loss is the purchase price minus selling price of an investment asset. Capital gain is when the result is positive, implying that the asset has appreciated in value. A capital gain always attracts tax. David experienced a capital loss of $3000 as the selling price was lower than the buying price ($ 4000-$1000).

Glocalization is a term that combines both globalization and localization. It was first used during the 1980s in Japan to define a way of thinking and developing business strategies: think locally and act globally.

Back in the 1980s Japan's economy was booming, it was the second largest economy in the world and Japanese car manufacturers and technological firms were wiping out the competition. This term refers to the western interpretation of Japanese business strategies of that decade, of selling similar but differentiated products everywhere.

E.g. American car manufacturers used to complain that Japanese consumers wouldn't buy their cars in Japan, but they simply had the steering wheel on the wrong side and Japanese consumers were not willing to even try them for that reason.

Luckily, things have changed and American companies also realized that their reality is not necessarily the reality of the rest of the world, and you must adapt your products to different markets.

Production for Q2 12,700 units

Explanation:

sales for the quarter 11,000 units

desired ending inventory

20% of Q3

Production for Q2 12,700 units

We add the sales and the desired inventory as the production needs.

The beginning inventory is subtracted, those units is work done towards the goal, so we need to produce the differente, which is 12,700 units.

The depreciation deduction for year 11 of an asset with a 20-year useful life is $4,000. If the salvage value of the asset was e

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The answer is $80,000

Explanation:

The formula for straight-line depreciation is:

[Cost of asset - salvage value(if any)] ÷ useful life of the asset

Depreciation = $4,000

Cost of asset= ? (represented by y)

Useful life of the asset = 20 years

$4,000 = y ÷ 20 years

y is $4,000 x 20 years

y = $80,000

Therefore, the initial cost of the asset was $80,000

noname [10]

Answer:

DM variances:

Price 2650

Quantity -4,800

Labor Variances:

Rate:-2,000

Efficiency 1400

Explanation:

DM variances:

Price

(std - actual) x actual quantity

(2.4 - 2.2) x 13,250 = 2,650

Quantity

(standard quantity - actual quantity) x std price

(7.5x1,500 - 13,250) x 2.4 = -4,800

Labor Variances:

Rate:

(std rate - actual rate) x actual hours

(7 - 9) x 1,000 = -2,000

actual rate = actual cost/actual hours = 9,000/1,000 = 9

Efficiency

(std hours - actual hours) x std rate

(1,500 x 0.8 - 1,000) x 7 = 1400
