Answer: D. If one country creates all the reserves it can prevent other countries from trading.

Explanation:

Ditching the Dollar refers to a movement by nations to reduce the dependence on the US. dollar for transactions.

The USD is the major currency for trade around the world with it accounting for the currency of use in more than 50% of the entire World trade. This was due to the Bretton Woods Agreement and System which at the time pegged the USD to gold and other currencies at certain value to the USD.

The influence the USD gained that day continues today. Countries however are increasing becoming fed up by the United States using the Dollar to impose trade restrictions and sanctions on countries and then requiring everyone to fall in line because trades are mostly done in the currency controlled by the US, the USD.

For instance, when sanctions were imposed on Iran, the European Union looked for alternative means of payment for Iranian oil.

Ditching the Dollar therefore argues that having multiple reserve currencies to choose from is healthy because one country will not be able to control world trade as the US has.

Answer:

$4,455

Explanation:

The computation of total decrease in earnings (pretax) in Morris Dec. 31, 2021, income statement is given below:-

Interest expense upto 31 Dec 2021 = (Total present value of lease payment - Lease payment on July 1, 2021) × 6% × 6 ÷ 12

= ($58,500 - $7,500) × 6% × 6 ÷ 12

= $51,000 × 6% × 6 ÷ 12

= $1,530

Depreciation expense upto 31 Dec 2021 = Fair value of equipment ÷ Useful life × 6 ÷ 12

= $58,500 ÷ 10 × 6 ÷ 12

= $5,850 × 6 ÷ 12

= $2,925

So, the total decrease in earnings (pretax) in Morris Dec. 31, 2021, income statement = Interest expense upto 31 Dec 2021 + Depreciation expense upto 31 Dec 2021

= $1,530 + $2,925

= $4,455

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The actual price = $1.08

Explanation:

The standard material price can be worked out as follows:

Step 1: Work out the standard price of material using the material usage variance

Standard price = Material usage variance/(standard quantity of material - actual quantity)

Standard quantity of material = standard qty per unit × actual production

= 4 × 17,000 =68,000

Standard price = 2,800/(68,000-64,000)= $0.7

Step 2 : Work out the Actual material price using the material price variance

Material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price )× Actual quantity of material

6,400 = (y - 0.7) × 17,000

6400 = 17,000y - 11,900

17,000 y = 6,400 + 11,900

y = 18,300/17,000= 1.08

The actual price = $1.08

What is one difference between fixed-rate mortgages and variable-rate mortgages?

satela [25.4K]

The correct answer should be B. The interest rate may change depending on the condition of the economy.

Fixed-rate mortgages keep the same rates as they were declared at the time of the contract signing, which can either be great for the person or the bank depending on the economy fluctuations. Variable-rate mortgages change based on the economy which means that the conditions are always kept to a certain standard.
