Answer:
E: a debt of $10.7 trillion and a deficit of zero.
Explanation:
Deficits are usually financed by debt. Here the government has incurred an extra debt of $700 billion. The previous debt of $10 trillion may have been due to any reason and not necessarily deficit. However, the passage does not state if the extra debt is due to deficit or not. So it is safe to select option E.
Hence, the government has incurred a total debt of $10.7 trillion and a deficit of zero.
Answer:
<u>Germany</u> and <u>Japan</u>
Explanation:
Financial intermediaries refer to the institutions which serve as a link between spenders and savers. Examples of financial intermediaries are banks, investment banks, pension funds, etc.
Securities markets refer to the markets which deal with the issuance of equity, debt and derivatives securities. Such issue of securities facilitates the raising of capital by businesses.
Direct finance usually takes place in capital markets dealing in securities with maturity period of more than an year, such as equity and bonds.
Indirect finance takes place through financial intermediaries such as banks, pension funds, etc. Such intermediaries remove the operation of middlemen between lenders and borrowers.
Germany and Japan have utilized their nation's bank credit based financial system.
Answer:
(a) The asset would be recorded in accordance to IAS 16 Property, plant & equipment.
Dr Mining Asset 896,900
Cr Bank 896,900
(b) IAS 16 says that the costs incurred to make the asset ready for use must be capitalized as part of the asset. This means the license fee $1000 filing fee, License fee $2100 and $50,000 amount paid for geological survey must be capitalized. So the entry is as under:
Dr Mining asset (1k+2.1k+50k) $53,100
Cr Bank $53,100
(c) This assets must be depreciated on the basis of tons of minerals extracted which is 60 thousands tons in the first year.
Depreciation Expense = (60k tons / 500k tons) * (Total capitalized cost)
=(60,000/500,000) * (896,900+53,100) = $108,000
The Double entry of Depreciation Expense would be as under:
Dr Depreciation Expense $108,000
Cr Accumulating Depreciation $108,000
Answer:
Land = $295,000
Building = $1,375,000
Explanation:
The computation of cost of the land and new building is shown below:-
Land = Parcel of land + Demolition of old building + Legal fees for title investigation and purchase contract - Salvaged materials resulting from demolition were sold
= $280,000 + $20,000 + $5,000 - $10,000
= $305,000 - $10,000
= $295,000
Building = Architect's fees + Construction costs
= $35,000 + $1,340,000
= $1,375,000
We simply applied the above formulas
Answer:please refer to the explanation section
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, The amount that each firm must produce is not given or the Quantity/demand equation that each firm faces is not given. We use a firm's quantity/demand equation to calculate how much each firm should produce and then work out the number of firms that should exist in the industry.
let us assume quantity produced by each firm is given by this equation;
Q = 1900 + 15000Price
We need to plug the Price of $2.54 per unit Vitamin Bottle to the quantity equation. Q = 1900 + 15000(2.54) = 40 000
each firm must produce 40 000 units
Number of firms that should exist = Total Market Quantity/Firms Quantity Number of firms that should exist = 1055 560 000/40 000
Number of firms that should exist = 26389
When the price is $2.54, with each firm Producing 40000 units, 26389 firms should exist in the market to cover the total Market Quantity of 1055 560 000.
The question may provide you with the Quantity that each firm must produce, in that case you simple divide total market quantity by the firm's quantity to find number of firm that should exist.
When you are given quantity equations you use the price to work out quantity produced by each firm and then Divide the Market Quantity by Firm's quantity to find number of firms that should exist
