Answer:

The answer is "Option c".

Explanation:

When there is racing to a bottom scenario, this should be stated that the multinationals looking for profit are shifting production from such countries with strict environmental regulations to minimize the order, thus generating revenue, that's why the profit-based corporations relocate their manufacturing from strong environmental regulations to low standard countries and thereby lower their costs and increase profits.

The client at the HIV clinic has come in complaining of unintended weight loss with diarrhea lasting over the last month. How is
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Loss of 10% of usual weight.

Explanation:

The attrition syndrome associated with HIV infection is characterized by:

  1. Loss of involuntary body weight and greater than 10% compared to the normal reference weight.
  2. Diarrhea or chronic weakness with fever, for a period greater than 30 days.
  3. Absence of any infection or condition other than HIV: cancer, tuberculosis, cryptosporidiasis and other enteritis that could explain these symptoms.
  4. In practice, any progressive and involuntary weight loss of this magnitude is considered a syndrome of attrition and translates into the development of a significant nutritional deficit that leads to significant physical and psychological deterioration.

The attrition syndrome may be a consequence of HIV infection itself. Thus, those patients presenting with symptoms of wear and tear should use all available options of antiretroviral therapy, which may remit symptoms and not require other specific interventions. It is also associated with opportunistic HIV infections and cancers. Opportunistic infections that cause diarrhea can cause attrition syndrome. This can cause greater immunodeficiency in affected people and predispose them to certain diarrheal opportunistic infections, which would be reinforced by a vicious cycle.

Applewood, Inc. has a contract with Marco's Electronics to sell Marco's 500 car audio systems at a price of $100 each. Applewood
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Applewood can stop the shipment and have the goods returned (the right of stoppage of goods).

Explanation:

When the buyer becomes insolvent while the goods are in transit, and the goods have not been paid yet, then the seller has the right to stop the delivery and resume possession of the goods.

Applewood could also try to sue Marco for specific performance but considering their current position it might be useless and actually result in more money invested and larger losses.

On January 1, 2021, Weaver Corporation purchased a patent for $210,000. The remaining legal life is 20 years, but the company es
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Requirement 1. Journal for purchasing Patent:

Jan 01, 2021    Patent Rights (Debit)                    210,000

                                  Cash/Bank (Credit)                            210,000

Requirement 2. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2021:

Dec 31, 2021    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 3. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2022:

Dec 31, 2022    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 4. Journal for incurring legal fees

Jan 31, 2023     Legal fees                                      30,000

                                    Cash/Bank                                          30,000

Requirement 5. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2023:

Dec 31, 2023    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

Since Weaver corporation purchases a patent, it costs the company cash or bank balance. As the patent is a non-current intangible asset, it is a debit. On the other hand, as cash decreases due to the purchase of patent, the cash is a credit. In this journal, an asset (Non-current asset) increases, and another asset (Current asset) decreases. There will be no effect on the total asset.

Requirement 2, 3 and 5. All the calculations will be the same as it is a straight-line method of amortization. Straight-line depreciation (amortization) is a method of expense on an asset over a long period. The expense is the same over the period as the expense is calculated as the total cost divided by the useful number of years. Again, as the patent is an intangible asset; therefore, the asset has to be amortized instead of depreciated.

The amortization expense of patent is = $210,000/6 = $35,000

Since, the company estimates the patent's useful life will be 6 years. Therefore, the amortization expense will be $35,000 for each year.

Requirement 4: Since legal fees is an expense, the company pays for this due to the occurrence of legal issues. The expense decreases the cash; therefore, it is a credit. On the contrary, the legal fees are a debit as it decreases net income. The legal fees, however, does not affect the amortization expense as it is not adding to the cost of the patent.
