Barbara wants to reconcile her bank statement. She needs to calculate beforehand and look for when she gets her statement.

Countries are interconnected today as never before. From eating foods from different countries to singing along to songs perform

Nuetrik [128]

This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.

In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.

I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.

There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.

As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.

These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).

Point x on a linear production possibilities curve represents a combination of 50 watches and 20 clocks, and point y represents

Veronika [31]

Based on the coordinates of point x and those of point y on the linear production possibilities curve, the opportunity cost of producing one watch is 2 fewer clocks.

<h3>What is the opportunity cost of producing one watch?</h3>

The opportunity cost of producing one watch is the number of clocks that needs to be given up per watch.

This will therefore be the slope of the linear production possibilities curve which can be found as:

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

Solving gives:

= (80 - 20) / (20 - 50)

= 60 / -20

= -2 clocks

This means that for every watch produced, there will be 2 clocks that will be foregone to make that watch.

In conclusion, the opportunity cost is 2 clocks.

Harper acquires 40 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Kinman Company on January 1, 2014, for $243,700 in cash. The book

KonstantinChe [14]

One of the steps in solving this problem is this one:

As we know as shown above, the joournal entry for 2014 and 2015 will include the investment balance, increases and decreases to equity and intra-entity profits realized and deferred. Also the balance of the acquisition needs to be calculated.

Calculation of the book value of the purchase made as the book value of Company K times percent purchased:

400,000 * 0.40 = 160,000

Then, calculate the difference in the acquisition and the book value of the purchase:

210,000 - 160,000 = 50,000

Layton Company purchased tool sharpening equipment on October 1, 2012, for $108,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful

dusya [7]

The amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, for Layton Company is determined as follows:

<h3>(a) the straight-line method:</h3>

2012: $33,600

2013: $33,600

2014: $33,600

2015: $0

<h3>(b) the units-of-output method:</h3>

2012: $11,340 (1,350 x $8.40)

2013: $35,280 (4,200 x $8.40)

2014: $30,660 (3,650 x $8.40)

2015: $23,520 (2,800 x $8.40)

<h3>(c) the double-declining-balance method:</h3>

2012: $71,993 ($108,000 x 0.6666)

2013: $24,002 ($36,007 x 0.6666)

2014: $4,805 ($12,005 - 7,200))

2015: $0

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Cost of equipment = $108,000

Useful life = 3 years

Operating hours = 12,000

Residual value = $7,200

Depreciable amount = $100,800 ($108,000 - $7,200)

Straight-line depreciation rate = $33,600 per year ($100,800/3)

Units-of-output method rate = $8.40 per hour ($100,800/12,000)

Double-declining-balance method rate = 66.6666 (100/3)

Thus, the depreciation expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, for Layton Company have been determined using (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
