Answer:

Explanation:

Arguments supporting Affirmative Action:

1) Affirmative action is a method that ensure the diversity is obtained and maintained in schools and workplaces. Moreover, it also helps to create tolerant communities therefore, it exposes people to a variety of cultures and ideas that are different from their own.

2)Affirmative action assists disadvantaged people that come from areas of the country where opportunities are limited be able to advance and they otherwise could not. In other words, it bestows everybody the same playing field.

3)Affirmative action is for to help by compensating to some races who are"started late in the race" , due to many years of oppression, and it also helps level the playing field.

Arguments against Affirmative Action:

1) Affirmative Action can be described as reverse discrimination. More specifically, past discrimination against some minority groups does not justify existing discrimination against them.

2) It weakens the notion of meritocracy and instead weakens races as a dominant factor in recruitment and recruitment procedures. Regardless of the situation, the best people for the position should be placed there.

3) Students / staff involved in the approval process are often not fully prepared for the assignment.

4) Affirmative Action strengthens stereotypes and racism compared to the previous point. People who give a position almost positively because of their activity are often unsuitable and the idea that all people in this race are "stupid" is endless.

5) People of different races or ethnic backgrounds do not need to have differences of opinion in the workplace / university. People with the same skin color are not necessarily the same in terms of vision or culture.

In February 2018, Brilliant Industries purchased the Topaz Mine at a cost of $10,000,000. The mine is estimated to contain 500,0

morpeh [17]

Answer:

B. Depletion will be $950,000 during 2018

Explanation:

Cost $10,000,000

Residual Value ($500,000)

Cost to be depleted $9,500,000

No. of Carats to be extracted over the life of mine 500,000

Per carat depletion (9,500,000/500,000) $19

Depletion for the year 2018 $19*50,000=$950,000

This will be deducted from revenue as depletion for the year.So option B is correct.

Scenario B: Raney Pharmaceuticals Corp. has completed a SWOT analysis as part of their ongoing strategic planning process. They

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

SWOT ANALYSIS

Explanation:

A SWOT analysis looks at internal and external factors that can affect a business.

In SWOT analysis Internal factors are strengths and weaknesses. External factors are the threats and opportunities. An example of an external factor is changes in technology or a new government policy.

The Strategic planning process implored by Raney Pharmaceuticals Corp should help them:

1. respond to new trends

Since more people are becoming interested in natural alternatives to traditional chemical pharmaceuticals and the trend is expected to continue over the next decade Raney Pharmaceuticals Corp could take advantage of this opportunity by diversifying to produce natural alternative medication.

2. Discover threats (external factor)

Since New regulations have been passed limiting their ability to sell certain formulations over the counter, it would likely reduce their sales.

3. Overcome Weakness

The company has inadequate financial resources to invest in their operations and thus would need to get new investors.

Also, since they have fallen behind in research and development in the last few years adequate measures should be taken to improve their research and development.

Board Company has a foreign subsidiary that began operations at the start of 2017 with assets of 155,000 kites (the local curren

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a. The Board would report translation adjustment of -$3,138.

b. See the journal entries and explanation below.

c. Net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

Explanation:

a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What translation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of translation adjustment.

The board would report a negative (debit) translation adjustment of $3,138. That is,

Translation adjustment = -$3,138

b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.

Board Company

Journal Entries

Date Account titles and Explanation Debit ($) Credit ($)

01 Oct 17 (No entry)

12 Dec 17 Forward contract 2,000

Translation adjustment (positive) (w.1) 2,000

(To record forward contract change in the value to adjust translation adjustment.)

12 Dec 17 Foreign currency (kites) (w.2) 152,000

Cash 152,000

(To record 200,000 kites purchased at the spot rate of $0.76)

12 Dec 17 Cash 154,000

Foreign Currency (kites) 152,000

Forward contract 2,000

(To record 200,000 kites delivered, $154,000 received, and close the forward contract account.)

Workings:

w.1: Translation adjustment = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * (Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite - Exchange rate on December 1, 2017) = 200,000 * (0.76 - 0.75) = $2,000

w.2: Foreign Currency (kites) = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite = 200,000 * 0.76 = $152,000

c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

This can be calculated as follows:

Net translation adjustment = Negative translation adjustment in part a + Positive translation adjustment in part b (i.e. w.1) = -$3,138 + 2,000 = -$1,138

Therefore, net translation adjustment is -$1,138.
