Answer:
The potential of additional regional currencies such as the euro is very important, and for this reason, many economists support the idea. In fact, John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists in history, once proposed not a regional common currency, but a common global currency.
The potential lies in the fact that regional currencies allow to coordinate a common monetary policy in several countries. This common policy means that several countries now have the same interest rates, the same rate of inflation, and the same currency itself, and all these commonalities facilitate the exchange of goods and services.
While the Euro has had drawbacks since its inception, the Euro has survived, and is now one of the strongest curriencies in the world.
If you support the concept, should those currencies be tied to regional economic blocs?
I support the concept, and I agree that they should be tied to regional economic bloc. It would not be very effective to adopt a common currency for countries that are not economically integrated in other areas.

Adjusting Journal Entry to record bad debt expense for the year:
Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Bad Debts Expense $2,700
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700
To record bad debt expense for the year and bring the allowance for doubtful accounts to a credit balance of $4,200.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Accounts receivable at the end of the year = $420,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts (credit balance) = $1,500
Estimated uncollectible = 1% of account receivable
New credit balance for allowance for doubtful accounts = $4,200
Adjustment to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts to the above new balance = $2,700 ($4,200 - $1,500)
Bad Debts Expense $2,700 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700
Answer:
Decision on the margins
Explanation:
Pool time seems to be having a greater effect at the moment, it makes sense for his to spend a bit more time in the pool and a bit less time on the bike.
However, this does not mean that it makes sense for her to spend all his time in the pool and no time on the bike. If he cut out all training on the bike, the value of a little bit of bike training might be higher than the value of the last hour of pool training. Dimitri does not treat biking versus swimming as an all-or-nothing decision. He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training for each activity.
Also they both realise that his time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activit, is time he cannot spend on another (opportunity cost).
They are both trying to improve Dimitri's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).
An assumption that Dimitri realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will suffer. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him progressively more in terms of time.
Conclusion Dimitri is looking at the margins. His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the decreasing improvements in swim and increasing deterioration in the other 2 legs.
