Answer:

$18,750

Explanation:

Given:

Adjusted amount of loss = $90,000

Fair market value = $75,000

Insurance amount received = 95% of fair Market value

Adjusted gross income = $40,000

<u>Computation of business loss:                        </u>

<u>Particular                                             Amount </u>

Adjusted amount of loss                     $90,000

Less: Insurance amount received      $71,250

<u>($75,000 × 95%)                                                  </u>

<u>Business loss                                       $18,750 </u>

Therefore, the current year deduction is $18,750

A country has two main products: hats and grapes. The country decides to start making more and more hats and fewer and fewer gra
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Because as more hats are produced less grapes can be produced.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

There are two commodities that can be produced by the country- hats and grapes.

If the country decides to increase production of hats, it has to reduce the quantity of hats that can be produced, therefore the opportunity cost increases.

Explanation:

For example, let assume a country can produce 30 grapes and 30 hats. If it decides to increase the amount of hats produced to 40, only 20 grapes can be produced. If it decides to increase to 50 hats only 10 grapes would be produced and if it decides to produce 60 hats, no grapes would be produced.

It can be seen that opportunity cost increases as more hats are produced

A. How does inflation distort ratio analysis comparisons for one company over time (trend analysis) and for different companies
marin [14]

Answer (a):

The inflation distorts the ratio as their are number of things that inflate their prices differently. The prices of the rice is increasing by 1%, wheat prices are growing by 2% and salaries expenses are increasing by 5%. This means there is no consistant increase in all the commodity prices. And this issue becomes very prominent after 3 years. Trend analysis becomes meaningless when we make technological advancements which gives us edge to control the costs of the operations and inflation does the same thing but in opposite direction. It increases the cost of different operations with different percentages.

Answer (b):

Both balance sheet and income statement items would be affected because these are monetary values that would be inflated over time which will blurr the image of the entity.
