Assume that an investor owns 30% of an investee, and accounts for its investment using the equity method. At the beginning of the year, the Equity Investment was reported on the investor's balance sheet at $300,000. During the year, the investee reported net income of $114,000 and paid dividends of $20,000 to the investor. In addition, the investor sold inventory to the investee, realizing a gross profit of $48,000 on the sale. At the end of the year, 20% of the inventory remained unsold by the investee.
Answer:
Depression/Trough
Explanation:
The lowest point in a business cycle is called depression (or trough). At this point, the unemployment rate would be the highest and the investment/consumption level would be very low. The price level would also be low.
Double jeopardy is a legal defense which, after a clear acquittal or conviction, does not preclude an accused person from being charged on the same charge again.
Explanation:
The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that "no one is twice liable to be targeted at the same offense." The Double-jeopardy Clause bars any second prosecution or conviction and forbids multiple penalties of the same offense.
Double jeopardy does not shield suspects from being charged for multiple offenses, while separate charges are prohibited for the same crime.
For example, An convicted person could again be charged on the "less included crime" of involuntary killing.
