meriva

Answer:

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Explanation:

Step 1. Given information.

Carrying amount 310.000

Fair Value 160.000

Step 2. Formulas needed to solve the exercise.

Impairment loss = Carrying value - Fair Value

Step 3. Calculation.

Impairment loss = $310.000 - $116.000 = $194.000.

Step 4. Solution.

The carrying amount of $310.000 > fair value of $160.000. To measure the impairment loss, just do CV-FV. hence $310.000 - $116.000 = $194.000.

Loss on impairment $194.000

Patent $194.000

uppose a Starbucks tall latte cost $4.00 in the United States, 5.00 euros in the euro area and $2.50 Australian dollars in Austr
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Nether Australia or Europe

Explanation:

Purchasing power parity is a notion that states that prices of the same or similar goods should have the same price across the world after adjusting for exchange rate differences.

If the price of a tall latte in the U.S. is $4,00, it should be the same price in Europe and Australia after exchange rate adjustments.

$4.00 in Euro is:                                                  $4.00 in Australian dollars is:

= 4 * 0.8                                                                 = 4 * 1.4

= €3.20                                                                 = $5.60

Purchasing power parity does not hold in wither countries because the prices of the lattes are not equal to the $4.00 in the U.S. after adjustments for exchange rates.

Which of the following statements are true regarding profit-maximizing firms?A.They will attempt to maximize the difference betw
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

For a profit maximizing firm , the statement that will be true is A) they will attempt to maximize the difference between total revenues and total costs.

Explanation:

The basic formula that is used to calculate profit is  -

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

Profit maximization is a concept according to which a firm who is looking for maximizing its profits, should choose that optima level of output where its marginal cost ( cost that is incurred because of producing one additional unit of good ) and marginal revenue ( change in revenue because of change in sales ) are same.

When the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost , it means that the revenues generated by producing additional quantity of goods is greater than the cost incurred on producing them, so hence we can say that for maximizing profit , a firm would want that the gap between revenue and cost is higher.
