b-1. The effecton reported income in 2020 is a foreign exchange loss of -$12,800.

b-1. The effect on reported income in 2021 is a foreign exchange gain of $9,600.

c-1. The effect on reported income in 2020 is a foreign exchange loss of -$6,400.

c-1. The effect on reported income in 2021 is a foreign exchange gain of $9,600.

Explanation:

a. Assume that Spindler acquired the surfboards on September 1, 2020, and made payment on December 1, 2020. What is the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020?

Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Sep-20 is higher than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 is a foreign exchange gain calculated as follows:

Foreign exchange gain on 31-Dec-20 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Sep-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.24 - $0.23) = $6,400

b. Assume that Spindler acquired the surfboards on December 1, 2020, and made payment on March 1, 2021. What is the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 and 2021?

b-1. Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Dec-20 is lower than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 is a foreign exchange loss calculated as follows:

Foreign exchange loss on 31-Dec-20 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-De-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.23 - $0.25) = -$12,800

b-2. Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20 is higher than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Mar-21, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2021 is a foreign exchange gain calculated as follows:

Foreign exchange gain on 31-Mar-21 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Dec-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Mar-21) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.25 - $0.235) = $9,600

c. Assume that Spindler acquired the surfboards on September 1, 2020, and made payment on March 1, 2021. What is the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 and in 2021?

c-1. Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Sep-20 is lower than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 is a foreign exchange loss calculated as follows:

Foreign exchange loss on 31-Dec-20 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Sep-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.24 - $0.25) = -$6,400

c-2. Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20 is higher than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Mar-21, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2021 is a foreign exchange gain calculated as follows:

Bob is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running.Consider the following sentence: Bob h

madam [21]

Answer:

B) People face trade-offs

Explanation:

A trade-off happens when you have to balance two (or three in this case) opposing situations. In economics all resources are scarce, and time is the only resource that everyone shares equally. Bob is facing opportunity costs, i.e. if he chooses to train one activity he cannot train the other.

Bob has to decide how to divide the time he can spend training. If he chooses running, he can´t swim or ride a bike. So he has to balance the time spent on each activity, probably depending on which sport he needs to train the most.

<em>Asset at the beginning of year 2016</em>

=26,000 + 56,000 + 79,000 + 8,000 + 180,000 = 349 ,000

<em>Asset at the end of year 2016</em>

$28,000 + 58,000 + 76,000 + 14,000 + 11,000= 187 ,000

Average assets = Opening value of asset+ closing value of assets/2

= 349 ,000 + 187 ,000= 268 ,000

Assets turnover ratio = net sales / Average assets

=440000/268,000= 1.64 times

Assets turnover ratio= 1.64 times

Anni [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Purchased office supplies = $4,500

Supplies on balance account (in beginning) = $200

Supplies remaining (in end of month) = $180

So, To calculate supplies used in February we use following method:

Supplies Used = Supplies in Beginning + Purchased office supplies - Supplies in Ending

= $200 + $4,500 - $180

Supplies Used = $4,520

Hence, the amount of supplies USED during February was $4,520.
