Assume France and Mali can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning

that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in France can produce 10 metric tons of grain or 5 metric tons of dates in a season. Each farmer in Mali can also produce 10 metric tons of grain or 25 metric tons of dates.1) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?A. MaliB. FranceC.

Answer:

1. Option (A) is correct.

2. Option (C) is correct.

3. Option (A) is correct.

4. Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

1. Mali has an absolute advantage in producing dates because it produces more number of dates than France with the same level of resources.  

25 metric ton > 5 metric ton

2. No country has an absolute advantage in producing grain because both the countries are producing same amount of grain with the same level of resources.

10 metric tons of grain each

3.  

Opportunity cost of producing a date in France = 10 ÷ 5

                                                                               = 2 tons of grain

Opportunity cost of dates in Mali = 10 ÷ 25

                                                       = 0.4 tons of grain

Therefore,

Mali has a comparative advantage in producing dates because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing dates than France.

4.  Opportunity cost of producing a ton of grain in France = 5 ÷ 10

                                                                                                = 0.5 dates

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of grain in Mali = 25 ÷ 10

                                                                                       = 2.5 dates

Therefore,

France has a comparative advantage in producing grain because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing grain than Mali.

Joe sells the house he has lived in for 10 years to the Smith family for $300,000. He receives $50,000 more than his original pu
jasenka [17]

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

Joe has sold the house he has been living in for 10 years to the Smiths family

He sold the house at $300,000

Joe receives $50,000 more than the original price bargained 10 years ago

He pays the real estate agent a commission of 5%

= 5/100

= 0.05

Therefore the increase in gross domestic product can be calculated as follows

= $300,000×0.05

= $15,000

Hence, the transaction will increase the gross domestic product by $15,000

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: B. $892.1 million

Explanation:

The Revenue was $939,393 million

When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.

Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.

Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504

= $87,692 million

Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358

= $40,372 million

The Cash generated is therefore;

= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372

= $892,073

= $892.1 million

I have attached the Financial Statements of Acme Corporation.

How physical assets valuation and development and research pose risk.<br>​
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The differences between US GAAP and IFRS pose an extra cost because international corporations must prepare two separate accounting statements. But besides that, other potential risks include paying higher taxes than what the companies should pay int their home countries and the uncertainty generated by changing rules.

Not only do current tax rates affect potential investments, e.g. currently companies in the US pay relatively low corporate taxes (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) but these benefits end on 2025. But also different methods for valuating physical assets and R&D costs can represent higher than expected taxes. E.g. depending on a company's needs, it may be beneficial to expense all R&D costs right away, or maybe it would be better to capitalize some of them after technical feasibility is achieved (IFRS).

The main advantage of having uniform rules (e.g. UCC) is that all the companies know exactly what to expect and how to act. Certainty decreases risk, and less risk reduces costs.

Explanation:

In the US, the vast majority of firms use US GAAP as their accounting method, but around the world the IFRS method is used.

Physical asset valuation is the process of determining the value of your physical assets including P, P & E, and also inventories.

  • When valuing inventories IFRS uses FIFO, while US GAAP allows FIFO, LIFO or weighted average costing methods. US GAAP also values inventory at lesser of cost or market value, while IFRS values inventory at lesser of cost or net realizable value.
  • US GAAP uses the cost method to determine the historic cost of an asset, while IFRS uses basically the same method but does not include all the costs of location of the assets (e.g. cost of removing or clearing a facility).
  • US GAAP recognizes non-monetary exchanges while IFRS doesn't.
  • IFRS also allows the cost of asset to be revalued, which can result in unrealized gains or losses. The US GAAP only considers historic costs.
  • There are also other minor differences regarding depreciation, disposals and impairment rules.

Research and development must be expensed right away under US GAAP, while IFRS basically requires the same, it allows some capitalization of development expenditures if certain criteria is met (technical feasibility is achieved).
