Germany does not have a comparative advantage, which is the ability to do something better or more efficiently that someone else. Even though they are producing bananas, the industry is artificially supported by the tax incentives and not because Germany is an amazing banana-growing location.

The consequences for the economy are lost opportunity costs that could be producing things where they <em>do </em>have a comparative advantage (cars, for example). Another consequence is that the tax money could be better spent on other things.

sweet [91]

Answer:

The correct answer is C)

Explanation:

A pledge in this context is a vow or a promise to make a donation or give something at a future date. It may be vocalized or communicated in writing.  

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), sets out the criteria for recognizing a pledge or a promise as follows:

  1. Relevance— If the promise is important enough to make a difference in the users  decisions,  then it ought to be recognized
  2. Definitions—If the item satisfies the definition of a component of a financial statement, then it ought to be recognized;
  3. Dependability— When the pledge is based on a fact that can be recorded, verifiable, and neutral, then it can be recognized
  4. Measurability— if it allows for measurability, then it should be recognized

It is clearly stated that where the certainty or reliability of a promise or a vow is difficult that measure, it is better to decline from recognizing such a pledge.

never [62]

Answer:

$60,000

Explanation:

Double declining method is a depreciation method used to expense the cost of an asset.

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor × cost of asset

Deprecation factor = 2 (1/useful life) = 2(1/8) = 1/4

Depreciation expense in 2016 = 0.25 × $320,000 = $80,000

Net book value = $320,000, - $80,000 = $240,000

Deprecation expense in 2017 = 0.25 x $240,000 = $60,000

I hope my answer helps you
