Foreign portfolio investment differs from foreign direct investment (FDI), in which a domestic company runs a foreign firm, because although FDI allows a company to maintain better control over the firm held abroad, it may face more difficulty selling the firm at a premium price in the future In June 2016, the United States received approximately 84% of total remittances, which was the majority of outflows for FPI.

noname [10]

Answer:

$85,000

Explanation:

In the balance sheet, a company records the value of assets at their historical cost. Assets are recorded in the balance sheet at the price that they were acquired. Even if a company has strong reasons to believe that the value of an asset has increased, It cannot adjust its value in the books.

Harper will record the value of the land at $85,000. $93,000 represents the fair value of the property. Harper cannot record the fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value is only used when disposing of the property. The only way of verifying the fair value is by selling the property.

A certain movie star's salary for each film she makes consists of a fixed amount, along with a percentage of the gross revenue t

umka2103 [35]

Salary relationships usually have behaviors that can be expressed through mathematical equations, for this case we must locate the information they give us, according to which the salary of the movie star $S$ is equal to a fixed basic remuneration $b$ plus a percentage $x$ of the gross income $g$ , that is:

$S = b + gx$

With this equation and the data they give us, we can solve the request so :

$\boldsymbol{1)} \; 32 = b + 100x\\\boldsymbol{2)} \; 24 = b + 60x$

We clear the basic remuneration $b$ from the second equation and replace in the first:

$\boldsymbol{2)} \; 24 = b + 60x\\24-60x = b\\\boldsymbol{1)} \; 32 = b + 100x\\32 = (24-60x) + 100x\\32-24=100x-60x\\8=40x\\\frac{8}{40} =x\\\boldsymbol{x=0,2}\\b=24-60x\\b=24-60(0,2)\\b=24-12\\\boldsymbol{b=12}$

Thus, with the fixed basic remuneration and the percentage of gross income calculated, we can estimate how much the following film should obtain so that the movie star obtains at least $40$ millions salary:

$40 = g (0.2) +12\\40-12 = g (0.2)\\\frac{28}{0.2y} = g\\\boldsymbol{g = 140}$

Answer

The <em>minimum amount</em> of gross income that the next film should generate is $\$ 140$ <em>millions</em>
