Answer:
The correct answer is d. Trade restrictions often provide benefits to highly visible special interest groups while imposing a less visible cost on the general populace.
Explanation:
A trade restriction is an artificial restriction to the exchange of goods and / or services between two countries. It is the byproduct of protectionism. However, the term is controversial because what a party can see as a trade restriction can be seen as a way to protect consumers from inferior, harmful or dangerous products. For example, Germany demanded that beer production adhere to its purity law. The law, originally implemented in Bavaria in 1516 and eventually converted into a law for the newly unified Germany in 1871, meant that many foreign beers could not be sold in Germany as "beer." This law was annulled in 1987 by the Court of Justice of the European Union, but remains voluntarily followed by many German breweries.
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
The computation of the adjusted balance of retained earning is shown below:
Since the depreciation expense is overstated on 2019 which decreased the earnings so it would be added
Since the depreciation expense is understated on 2020 which increased the earnings so it would be deducted
And, the ending inventory for 2020 is understated which decreased the earning so it would be added
Therefore, the adjusted balance is
= $24,000 - $4,000 + $5,000
= $25,000
Answer:
9.62%
Explanation:
Re = Rf + (B x Rp)
Re = cost of equity = 9.775%
Rf = risk free rate = 4%
B = beta = 1.05
Rp = risk premium = ?
Rp = (Re - Rf) B = (9.775% - 4%)/1.05 = 5.5%
Re portfolio = Rf + {Rp x [(B₁ x $5/$5.5) + (B₂ x $0.5/$5.5)]}
Re portfolio = 4% + {5.5% x [(1.05 x $5/$5.5) + (0.75 x $0.5/$5.5)]}
Re portfolio = 4% + {5.5% x [0.9545 + 0.0682]}
Re portfolio = 4% + 5.6249% = 9.62%
Answer:
FiFo method as prices are continuously increasing
Explanation:
Date Units Cost Per Unit Cost
June 1 150 units $ 1,040 6.93
June 10 200 units 1,560 7.8
June 15 200 units 1,680 8.4
June 28 150 units 1,320 8.8
$5,600
As the unit price is increasing the method which yields the highest gross profit would be FIFO.But in some cases the income is overstated as the beginning inventory is too old to account for . Similarly Lifo gives lower net income but that too is not very beneficial when the inventory is almost obsolete.
The average method gives a measure in between FIFO and LIFO.
