Answer:
$14,250
Explanation:
To determine what amount of money will make Fred take his chances and invest in this new business, we first have to solve this equation:
- current wealth - (% chance of losing money x wealth after losing money)
$12,000 - (20% x $3,000) = $12,000 - $600 = $11,400
Then:
$11,400 / 80% of getting wealthier = $14,250
Answer:
An example of production under the command system in the United States is that of the production of roads and passable roads throughout the nation. In this case, it is the production of a public service, and as such it is controlled by the government in all stages of its production: from the identification of the need, through the tender, the construction authorization and the supervision of the results, everything is controlled by the government. This implies that individuals or private companies cannot by their own initiative create this type of road, but rather depend exclusively on the will of the government.
Answer:
b. cost
Explanation:
Assets are accounted for under IAS 16 Property plant and Equipment, IAS 38 Intangible assets and IAS 40 and 41 Investment property and Biological assets.
The historical cost principle requires that assets on initial recognition be recorded at cost. This cost is maintained even as depreciation is charged for the use of the asset.
The cost is then netted off the accumulated depreciation to get the net book value of the asset or the carrying amount.
Answer:
d. Matt's statement is positive while Jean's statement is normative
Explanation:
A positive statement can be defined as any statement that is typically based on empirical evidence and as such can be tested, proven and verified. Also, a positive statement can be amended or rejected based on evidences that are available.
On the other hand, a normative statement can be defined as any statement that can't be tested, proven or verified because it is judgmental and based on opinions.
In this scenario, Matt observes that "there is a high correlation between educational attainment and the level of income." Jean concurs and adds that "high school graduates should all proceed to college"
Hence, Matt's statement is positive because it is an observation based on empirical evidence while Jean's statement is normative because it's simply his opinion or a value judgment.
