In 1 or 2 sentences, explain if a country would rather have a trade surplus or a trade deficit. Then, in 2 or 3 sentences, explain the difference between balance of trade and balance of payments.

Answer: we have to understand that trade surpluses and trade deficits can be beneficial or harmful for an economy in certain circumstances. A country would rather have a trade surplus because it means that it has plenty of resources to support its economic activity.

I hope it helps, Regards.

It is important for a country to have a trade surplus rather than trade deficit because trade surplus indicate an increase in economic productivity within the country

Balance of trade is only the difference in value between export and import, meanwhile balance of payments mean the record of all financial transaction between the country and the rest of the world

hope this helps

In addition to the three basic financial statements, which of the following is also a required financial statement? O Statement
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Statement of Cash Flows.

Explanation:

The financial statement comprises of income statement, balance sheet, statement of stockholder equity and the statement of cash flows. It is explained below

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity  

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.  

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The statement of stockholder's equity comprises common stock and retained earnings.  

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares

There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:  

1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.  

These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income and the loss on sale of assets is added whereas the gain on sale of assets is deducted  

2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.

The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days.
katrin [286]

Answer:

<u>$26000</u>

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

<u>we first calculate collection flaot:</u>

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate <u>disbursements float:</u>

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= <u>$26000</u>

How does income inequality affect American taxpayers
nikdorinn [45]
If the tax system in the US is progressive, then those with lower income will pay proportionally less than those with higher income as the latter will have a higher tax rate but in fact the rich people usually have or find a lot of tax loopholes to reduce their taxes so may still not be paying a fair share of their taxes compared to the poor people who don't have these loopholes.

On December 1 of Year 1, Jones, a self-employed cash basis taxpayer, took out a loan to use in her business. The loan principal
Phoenix [80]

Answer: $6,000

Explanation:

When expenses such as this interest expense are for 12 months or more, the deduction will need to be evenly spread over the period that they apply to. As the loan was to be repaid in 24 months, the interest payment deductions should be evenly spread over 24 months.

= 12,000/24

= $500

That means that for Year 2, the relevant deduction will be for the 12 months in it;

= 500 * 12

= $6,000
