How do patents encourage technological progress

Setler79 [48]

Patents are used to balance the right of the individual with the concept of the public good. In general, the purpose of a patent is two-fold: to allow the inventor of some new thing to retain exclusive rights as to its use for a limited period of time, and after that time to ensure that the details of the invention are available for public use.
By granting the patent-holder exclusive rights to their invention, use and duplication of the invention is at the sole discretion of the inventor, potentially allowing them to profit from it. However, after a period of time those exclusive rights cease to apply, and the new invention becomes available to the public. This contributes to the public good by increasing the amount of general knowledge available.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

A...=$6.6; B=$3,696 and $5,280

Explanation:

A. To calculate the predetermined factory overhead rate,

Given

overhead costs = $660,000

Direct labor hours = 100,000.

overhead rate = overhead cost/labor hours

= $660,000/100000

=$6.6

B. To calculate the amount of factory overhead applied to Job 345 if the amount of direct labor hours is 560 and Job 777 if the amount of direct labor hours is 800

Given

Job 345 direct labor hours is 560

Job 777 direct labor hours is 800

Therefore

Factory overhead for job 345 = direct labor hours × predetermined factory overhead rate

= 560hours × $6.6

=$3,696

Factory overhead for job 777 = direct labor hours × predetermined factory overhead rate

= 800hours × $6.6

=$5,280

C. Journal entry for April

Add the overheads the two current jobs

$3,696 + $5,280= $8,976

Now record $8,976 in debit column against current work

record $8,976 in credit column against factory overhead

Account debit credit

1. current work $8,976

2. factory overhead $8,976

You are the CEO of a company that has to choose between making a $100 million investment in Russia or Poland. Both investments p

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Going by the Ease of Doing Business ranking of 2020, prepared by the World Bank, which is perhaps the most reliable ranking to assess business risk in different countries.

Russia has a higher score in the ranking, which means that doing business is less risky there. Poland has particularly high risks in the starting a business category, which means that the mere act of starting the business in Poland might be a risky decision.

Russia has a high risk in trading accross borders, probably because the country is subject to several international sanctions.

If we go only by score, Russia has a higher score, so, as the CEO, you should probably invest there. However, you should avoid investing in Russian companies that try to export abroad, because of the high risks associated with trade in that country.
