padilas [110]

Answer:

D. $42,000 should be debited to Land Improvements

Larry Nelson holds 1,000 shares of General Electric common stock. The annual shareholders meeting is being held soon, but as a m

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Larry must have signed a PROXY AGREEMENT that gives the management group control over his shares.

A proxy agreement is generally used for stockholders voting procedures, they basically grant another person the right to vote on behalf of another stockholder.

Larry's current investment in the company is $86,000.

= 2,000 stocks x $43 = $86,000

If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth $82,560.

company's new market value = (20,000 x $43) + (5,000 x $34.40) = $1,032,000

new stock price = $1,032,000 / 25,000 stocks = $41.28

= $41.28 x 2,000 = $82,560

This scenario is an example of STOCK DILUTION.

The stock price will lower because the increase in the company's value is less than proportional to the increase in the number of stocks.

Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a PREEMPTIVE provision.

Preemptive rights give current stockholders the right to purchase more stocks (in case the company issues more stocks) before any outside investors.

If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become $103,200.

= [(5,000 / 10) x $34.40] + $86,000 = $17,200 + $86,000 = $103,200

Canada goes to considerable lengths to protect its television program and magazine producers from U.S. competitors. The United S

Anettt [7]

Answer:

D. All the Above

Explanation:

A. Lead to greater productivity

This is true because through specialization and competitive advantages you can achieve greater productivity in the production of goods and services. If you have a competitive advantage, it is because you have more capital, infrastructure and specialized human capital in the production of a specific type of good or service so that a greater amount of that good can be produced than another country in the same time.

B. Lead to greater output even if you can do everything better than someone else.

This is true since although a country has a competitive advantage in all industries, concentrating its labor and capital in the production of the good or service in which it has the greatest competitive advantage will allow a higher level of production in that sole good/service than if he divided his resources into the production of other goods and services.

C. Lead to international trade and overall gains for the nations involved.

This point, despite being true, is debatable. In theory, international trade allows to reach greater levels of wealth to the countries involved by being able to exchange the goods in which they have competitive advantage for others that if they were produced in the country they would consume part of their resources by not having such high productivity as if it will trade with a country that does have the capacity to produce it.

Having this clear, we can say that all of the above are true, so the answer is D.
