This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).

Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Work in progress Dr, $24,000
To Manufacturing Overhead $24,000
(Being the overhead assigned is recorded)
For recording this we debited the work in process as it increased the assets and credited the manufacturing overhead for assigning the overhead
Working note
Overhead amount = (Milling Department + Cutting department) × Overhead rate
= (1,800 + 3,000) × $5
= $4,800 × $5
= $24,000
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Current market price = $7.50
Average variable cost = $8.00
Average total cost = $8.25
It can be seen from the above information that current market price is less than the average variable cost, i.e, $7.50 < $8.00.
Mrs. Smith should shut down its production in the short run as well as in the long run until the point where current market price is greater than or equal to average variable cost.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On Aug 1
Short-term investments $70,000
To Cash $70,000
(Being the short term investment is recorded)
Here short term investment is debited as it increased the asset and credited the cash as it decreased the asset
On Oct 30
Cash ($70,000 × 11% × 90 days ÷ 360 days) 1,925
To Interest revenue $1,925
(Being the interest revenue is recorded)
here cash is debited as it increased the asset and credited the interest revenue as it also increased the revenue
Here we assume 360 days in a year
