This is an example of_________ reducing protectionist measures.
Answer:
Free trade policy.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
In the fall of 2014, China and the United States agreed to expand the Information Technology Agreement to drop tariffs on a number of technology products. Therefore, this is an example of free trade policy reducing protectionist measures.
Free trade policy includes the adoption and implementation of tariffs and quotas between countries.
Trade policies tariffs and quotas will most likely benefit domestic producers of the protected good and harm domestic consumers of the protected good as they're made to pay for the consumption of imported products. Hence, under free trade there are more societal benefits due to the specialization of domestic goods.
Tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country.
In order to generate revenues, domestic government make use of tariffs while quotas do not generate any revenue for them.
Counselors of Mableton purchased equipment on January 1, 2017, for $37,000. Counselors of Mableton expected the equipment to last for five years and have a residual value of $4,500. Suppose counselors of Mableton sold the equipment for $25,200 on December 31, 2018, after using the equipment for two full years. Assume depreciation 2018 has been recorded. Journalize the sale of equipment, assuming straight-line depreciation was used
Answer:
Dr cash $25,200
Dr accumulated depreciation $13,000
Cr equipment $37,000
Cr profit on disposal $1,2000
Explanation:
The yearly depreciation expense on the equipment is computed thus:
depreciation=(cost-residual value)/useful life
cost=$37000
residual value=$4,500
useful life= 5 years
depreciation=($37000-$4500)/5
depreciation=$6,500
accumulated depreciation for 2 years=$6,500*2=$13,000
Cash proceeds from disposal=$25,200
Upon disposal, we would debit cash with $25,200 as well as accumulated depreciation with $13,000 while the equipment account is credited with the original cost of $37,000
Total debits=$25,200+$13,000=$38,200
total credit=$37,000
profit on disposal=$38,200-$37000=$1,200

As a result of this sale, Sunland should recognize a gain of
Answer:
$54,820
Explanation:
The computation of the gain is shown below;
But before that following calculations must be done
Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method
= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)
= $64,980
Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is
= $64,980 × 9 years
= $584,820
Now the book value is
= $690,000 - $584,820
= $105,180
Now the gain is
= Sale value - book value
= $160,000 - $105,180
= $54,820

Net operating cash flows $64,000 $69,000 $64,000 $69,000
Explanation:
The net income reported the accrual basis and that reported under the cash basis are different. The accrual basis considers all revenue whether actually received or not, the cash basis only considers cash received from clients in each period. However, the net operating cash flows under the two bases are the same. The reason for this is that only actual cash flows are considered under the two bases.

The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.
If a firm is to capture all consumer surplus with twopart pricing when customers are different A. it must set unit price below marginal cost. B. it must set unit price above marginal cost. C. it cannot charge different prices for access fees. D. it must be able to charge different access fees.
Answer: D. it must be able to charge different access fees.
Explanation:
Two part pricing refers to the charging of two prices for access to a service which are a fixed price(lumpsum) and a variable price for every unit used.
If one wants to capture all consumer pricing with this strategy and customers are different, the company simply needs to be able to charge different access fees.
This way they'll be able to charge the different customers different prices based on their willingness to pay such that they will capture all consumer surplus.
Concerned by recent negative trends in economic indicators such as the consumer price index, gross domestic product, and inflation, the marketing manager of Kevin's Kayaks recommends that the company reduce its advertising spending. His recommendation is based on ________ data.
Answer:
Macroeconomics.
Explanation:
Economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
2. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Therefore, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
In this scenario, concerned by recent negative trends in economic indicators such as the consumer price index, gross domestic product, and inflation, the marketing manager of Kevin's Kayaks recommends that the company reduce its advertising spending. Thus, his recommendation is based on macroeconomics data.
This ultimately implies that, macroeconomic is a form of externality that typically affects the levels of inflation, unemployment, consumer price index, or growth in the economy as a whole (GDP).

Bob makes his first deposit into an IRA earning compounded annually on his th birthday and his last deposit on his birthday ( equal deposits in all). With no additional deposits, the money in the IRA continues to earn interest compounded annually until Bob retires on his th birthday. How much is in the IRA when Bob retires
Answer:
$187,881.52
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The future value would be
= PMT × ((1 + rate of interest)^number of years -1) ÷ (rate of interest)
= $1,500 × ((1 + 0.066)^13 - 1) ÷ (0.066)
= $1,500 × 19.626
= $29,439.14
Now when bob retired, the amount is
= $29,439.14 × (1 + 0.066)^29
= $29,439.14 × 6.383
= $187,881.52
XYZ Corporation had 158 million shares outstanding on January 1, 2012. On February 2,2012, it issued an additional 30 million shares to the market at the market priceof $55 per share. What was the effect of this share issue on the price per share
Answer:
There was no effect of this share issue on the price per share
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the pre-issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = Numbers of outstanding shares x Market value per share = 158,000,000 shares x $55 per share = $8,690,000,000
Now calculate the issuance values
Numbers of shares issued = 30,000,000 shares
Vaue of issued equity = NUmbers of shares issued x Mrket value per share = 30,000,000 x $55 per share = $1,650,000,000
Now determien the post issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares + 30,000,000 shares = 188,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = $8,690,000,000 + $1,650,000,000 = $10,340,000,000
Now calcuate the Value per share
Value per share = Post Issuance Total value of equity / Post issuance total numbers of shares = $10,340,000,000 / 188,000,000 shares = $55 per share
There is no effect of share issue on the price of the share.

Rounding Rules: Unless instructed otherwise compute hourly rate and overtime rates as follows:
Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate).
If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent.
If the third decimal place is less than 5, drop the third decimal place.
Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow.

d. The interest on taxes due and unpaid (assume a 4% interest rate) $________
Answer:
A. 15th August
B. 60.5
C. 6.05
D. 1.19
Explanation:
Let assume that during the lookback period, you reported a tax rate of $50000 or less. It implies that you're a monthly depositor(based on schedule) and all taxes much be deposited on or before the 15th day of the next month.
Inability to meet up with the timely deposit has penalty based on their tiers.
For 1 - 5 days late = 2% of upaod depsot
6 - 15 late = 5% on tax payment
15 days late = 10% on deposits
10 days late of IRS = 15% on deposit
Since no deposits were made till Aug 24, then deposit has been delayed by 9 days (i.e. Aug 15 - 24)
Thus, the penalty for making timely deposit = 1210 × 0.05 = 60.5
Inability to pay the penalty = 0.5 percent per month ( for unpaid taxes).
So, the penalty for failure of fully paid tax = 120 × 0.5% = 6.05
Assuming a 4% interest rate; the interest on taxes due & unpaid is
= 1210 × 0.04 × 9/365
= 1.19
Therefore, the total penalty imposed = 60.5 + 6.05 + 1.19 = 67.74
