Answer:

D) $12,250

Explanation:

Lee's gain = $66,000 - half the carrying value of Lee's investment

Lee must use the equity method because its 30% stake at Polk provided a significant influence over the investee corporation. The equity method requires that Lee recognize its share of undistributed earnings of Polk's income.

The carrying value must include the first dividend of 2017, the second dividend is not included since it occurred after the sales was made. The carrying value = initial purchase - stock ownership(2016 income - 2016 dividends + 50%(2017 income) - first dividends 2017) = $100,000 + 30%($40,000 - $25,000 + 50%($50,000) - $15,000) = $107,500

Lee's gain = $66,000 - $107,500/2 = $66,000 - $53,750 = $12,250

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a). A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer.

-<u> Increase in exports while no change in imports</u>.

(b). The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury.

- <u>Decrease in a net outflow of capital. Thus, it would be considered as a negative inflow/outflow</u>.

(c). An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.

- <u>Increase in Net Capital outflow for the U.S</u>.

Explanation:

Exports are described as the selling of domestic goods to a foreign country while Imports are characterized as the process of bringing in foreign goods to the domestic country. And Capital outflow is defined as the exact flow of funds from domestic to foreign and foreign to the domestic country.

In the first case, the purchase reflects a rise in exports as the domestic product is sold to the foreign country. In the second situation, the net outflow of the capital would decreases as it demonstrates a foreign purchase of a domestic asset. In the third example, the American investors' purchase of a South Korean firm demonstrates a domestic purchase of a foreign asset and thus, the net capital outflow would rise.

Suppose the price of a bag of tortilla chips decreases from $3.00 to $2.50 and, as a result, the quantity of tortilla chips dema
Tresset [83]

Answer:

2.20

Explanation:

The Price elasticity will be:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

<u>The mid point is used to calculate the increases.</u>

Δdemand = ΔQ/midpointQ

(Q2+Q1)/2 = mid point quantity = (300+ 200)/2 = 250

ΔQ = 300-200 = 100

Δdemand = 100/250 = 0.4

<u>Same procedure is applied with the Price numbers:</u>

Δprice = ΔP/midpointP

(P2+P1)/2 = mid point price = (3+ 2.5)/2 = 2.75

ΔP = 2.5-3 = 0.5

Δprice = 0.5 / 2.75 = 0.181818

FInally we calculate the price elasticity:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

0.4/0.1818181818 = 2.2
