Answer:

Consumers should not buy from companies that don't source materials

Explanation:

Companies should never have an excuse for not sourcing for their materials responsively and responsibly. They owe an ethical responsibility as well as a duty to offer their customers qualitative products at the best price and that is most sustainable to the environment.In recent times, through the widespread use of social media and the instrument of investigative journalism, it has been able to bring to the surface, the less than responsible activities of many companies in sourcing for their interest of the public and the environment.The 2006 movie "Blood Diamond" shows an avid description of how diamonds are mined and traded in the war-torn country of Sierra Leonne depicting the violation of Human and Child rights and how is excessively enriched diamond suppliers and companies.It is clear that many companies despite the public outcry for transparency in revealing their supply chain in sourcing for their materials still chose unorthodox practices. It therefore, falls on the consumers to spend their money responsibly and make smart and credible choices with their finances by refusing to buy from companies that are not transparent with their source materials.Consumers are the life-wire of any business and the hope of any business survival rests majorly on consumer satisfaction. Researches have shown that companies are no being accountable with the natural resources are utilized and have been used to cause serious harm to people and the environment. Since the companies manage to evade adequate regulations and responsibilities, it falls on the consumers to ensure that their money serves them to the greatest value.

Julli [10]

Answer: A. deferred and recognized as income over the term of the lease.

Explanation:

In a sale-leaseback transaction, that is when a property is sold by a company and leased back, the property seller is the lessee and the property purchase is the lessor. In this case, a sale-leaseback will allow a company to sell an asset so that the company can raise capital, after which the asset can then be leader back.

When a company sells property and then leases it back, any gain on the sale should usually be deferred and recognized as income over the term of the lease.

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.

There is a production possibilities frontier (PPF) that shows the combinations of goods X and Y that can be produced in the econ

erastova [34]

Answer:

B. shifts rightward, and the point at which the PPF touches the good-X axis has to be something more than 40 units of good X and the point at which the PPF touches the good-Y axis has to be something more than 60 units

Explanation:

PPF is the graphical representation of two goods combinations which an economy can produce given resources & technology.

It is downward sloping because of two goods inverse relation given same resources & technology.

The points at which PPF touches both axis represents maximum amount of that axis good which can be produced by given resources & technology , Points on PPF reflect full efficient utilisation of resources. Points inside PPF reflect underutilisation of resources. Points outside PPF reflect unattainable combinations outside economy's productive capacity, given resources & technology unless either of them grow.

Resource increase usable for production of both goods: shifts the PPF outwards/ rightwards & the maximum potential production of both goods increases. PPF touching axis points increases from pervious at each axis - more than 40 at good X axis, more than 60 at Y axis.
