If, over a given period, the index of export prices rises by 10% and the index of import prices rises by 5%, the terms of trade
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

When the terms of trade improve, it means that a country is actually selling more goods and services to foreign countries than the total amount of goods and services it is importing from foreign countries. For every dollar that a country is exporting, it is importing less than 1 dollar. But this improvement in the terms of trade will actually result in an appreciation of the domestic currency. This means that for every dollar that you export, you will be able to import more goods from foreign countries.

dezoksy [38]

Answer: Gain of $12,000

Explanation:

First off, what was the Net book value of the old sailboat?

= Cost Price - Accumulated Depreciation

= 210,000 - 84,000

= $126,000

They paid $101,000 in cash and received a trade in allowance of $138,000 bringing the value to $239,000.

What they should have received as the trade in allowance was the NBV of $126,000. Since they didn't they got a gain of,

= 138,000 - 126,000

= $12,000

Because this transaction has commercial substance, the gain would be $12,000.
