The present value of a single sum is: Select one: A. The amount that would be paid today to receive a single amount at a specifi
ed date in the future B. The amount that would be paid today to receive a single amount at an unspecified date in the future C. The amount that would be paid at a specified date in the future to receive a single amount today D. The amount that would be paid at an unspecified date in the future to receive a single amount today E. None of the above
The correct answer is letter "A": The amount that would be paid today to receive a single amount at a specified date in the future.
Explanation:
The present value (PV) of a single sum tells us how much a future sum of money is worth today given a specified rate of return. This is an important financial concept based on the principle that money received in a specific time in the future is not worth as much as an equal sum received today.
1. Huprey can resonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1,280,000, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.
Record a liability.
2. It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable.
Disclose in notes.
3. Huprey is being sued for damages of $2,400,000. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.
Have no disclosure.
Explanation:
Contingent liabilities must be recorded only when it is probable that the liability will happen and you can estimate the associated costs.
When contingent liabilities are only reasonably possible or you cannot estimate the amount, they must be included in the footnotes of the financial statements.
When contingent liabilities are not reasonably possible, nothing needs to be disclosed.
Explanation: a). Absolute advantage occurs when a country produces more of a good than the other country. In this case, Spain produces 50 units of Tractors while, Bolivia produces only 30 units of Tractors. Thus, Since Spain is producing more it has an absolute advantage in Tractors.
b). Both the countries are producing equal units of Cotton. Thus, we can say that none of them has an absolute advantage in cotton production.
c. Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. When Spain produces Tractors it is sacrificing production of Cotton. So, opportunity cost on 1 unit of Tractor will be,
Thus, 2.4 units of cotton which is given up is the opportunity cost of Spain for producing 1 unit of Tractor.
