Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

An increase in interest rate can be because of an increase in demand for loanable funds or decrease in the supply of loanable funds.

Suppose most businesses decide t modernize and install new equipment. For this, they need to invest more. This will cause an increase in the demand for loanable funds. This increase in demand for loanable funds will be represented by a rightward shift in the demand curve.

This rightward shift will cause the interest rate to increase.

Answer: b. International trade allows a country to specialize in items that can be produced most efficiently in that country.

Explanation:

Adam Smith with his Absolute Advantage theory, David Ricardo and his Comparative Advantage theory and the Heckscher-Ohlin theories believed that goods should be purchased from Countries that are more efficient in producing said goods so that the resources in the buying country can be channelled towards producing the good that the country can produce efficiently as well.

Company Pea owns 90 percent of Company Essone which in turn owns 80 percent of Company Esstwo. Company Esstwo owns 100 percent o
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Company Pea

Consolidated financial statements should be prepared to report the financial status and results of operations for:

Essone - 90%

Esstwo = 72% (90% x 80%)

Essthree = 72% (90% x 80% x 100%)

Explanation:

Company Pea is described as the holding or parent company of Company Essone.  This means that Essone is Company Pea's subsidiary.  In preparing consolidated financial statements to report the financial status and results of operations for Company Essone, Company Pea will consolidate 100% of Company Essone while accounting for noncontrolling interest of 10% (effectively 90%).

When Company Essone is consolidating its financial statements, it should consolidate 80% of Company Esstwo while Esstwo consolidates 100% of Company Essthree.

But since Essthree is also a subsidiary of Company Pea, Company Pea will consolidate Esstwo and Essthree's financials to the tune of 72% respectively, while consolidating 90% of Essone's.
