Answer: $68,600

Explanation:

Investment Income using Equity method = Plastic company Share in income of Spoon company - Depreciation on Assets

Plastic Company share in Income of Spoon Company = 100% * 78,000 = $78,000

Land cannot be depreciated so only Equipment will be depreciated.

= 94,000/10 years

= $9,400

Investment Income using Equity method = 78,000 - 9,400 = $68,600

quiclet if a country has an absolute advantage in the production of something it should specialize in the production of it as a
makkiz [27]

Even though the United States has an absolute advantage in producing both refrigerators and shoes, it makes economic sense for it to specialize in the good for which it has a comparative advantage. The United States will export refrigerators and in return import shoes.

<h3>Do all countries have an absolute advantage in production?</h3>

In the production of at least one good or service, almost every nation enjoys an absolute competitive advantage. The key to absolute advantage is low-cost production. For instance, because they can benefit from low labor costs, China and other Asian nations are known to have a distinct advantage in the manufacturing sector.

<h3>What determines a nation's choice to specialize in a particular good?</h3>

When resources are scarce, a country's decision to focus on producing a specific good is also heavily influenced by its comparative advantage. Comparative advantage is based on the idea of opportunity cost, whereas absolute advantage refers to the superior production capabilities of one nation over another.

Does Japan have an absolute advantage in the auto industry?

Japan is said to have a clear advantage in the auto industry if it can produce cars just as well as the United States, but more quickly and with higher quality. The kinds of goods a nation decides to produce are greatly influenced by its absolute advantage or disadvantage in a given industry.

You run the Social Security Administration. What about this chart might worry you?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The amount of taxpayers that are part of the "older generation" is slowly rising and is higher than the amount in 1997.

Explanation:

Remember to run a successful government, you must have the income in which to run the government programs. Most of these funds come from taxpayer's. In this case, it is clear that younger people generally make more as well as are generally healthy, leading to a large amount of input of money into the government, with fewer withdrawals. This would give a huge boost to the government budget. Older people on the other hand tend to not work as much, so their taxes are generally lower. They also withdraw more from the Government through Social Security, and so leaves the government with a negative balance from them in most cases.

The chart on the other hand shows a <em>increase of percentage of older people</em>, which leaves a large gap in between the surplus and the spending, leading to a decrease of funding for the government. If this continues, the government would lose money, and would have to cut programs or face collapse. To fix this, they either have to, like stated above, cut programs, or give more taxes. Both are unacceptable to the American Public, which is what makes the government, as well as the average citizen, worried about the US government's funding surplus.
