Answer:

That is $2,000 loss

Explanation:

After the hurricane Oscar received $140,000 for his loss, the adjusted basis for his property was $130,000 so he had a gain of 140,000- 130,000=$10,000.

According to Sec. 1033(a)(2) since the new property that was built (the replacement) was similar we will recognise the amount received from the insurance company ($140,000) to the extent that it pays for the replacement property.

That is

Gain or loss = amount paid by insurance company- cost of replacement property

Gain or loss= 140,000- 142,000

Gain or loss= -$2,000

That is $2,000 loss

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable costs = $28

Allocated fixed costs = $17

Selling price = $84

Due to acceptance of M offer, S would be got excess contribution margin per unit. Because acceptance selling price ($34) is greater than the variable cost per unit ($28).

We don't have any information about the fixed cost due to acceptance. Therefore, we assumed that fixed cost is not increased.

Increased contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $34 - $28

= $6

For 3,000 units, Increased contribution margin = 3,000 × $6

                                                                               = $18,000

Therefore, net income is increased by $18,000 when the offer is accepted.

What are five foundations of economics? increasing trade between two countries makes everyone in those countries better off.
geniusboy [140]

The five foundations of trade are:

  • incentives
  • tradeoffs
  • opportunity cost
  • marginal thinking,
  • principle that trade creates value.

<h3>Why do we engage in trade?</h3>

There are five main foundations of trade that are the reason why people engage in trade. One of them is the profit incentive to make money from trade. Another is the tradeoffs that people are forced to make to survive.

Opportunity cost also leads to trade because people give up one thing for another and so may have to sell the thing they gave up to receive the thing they want. There is also the principle which posits that when we trade, value is created. Finally, there is marginal thinking which is thinking along the lines of the benefit of one additional unit.
