Answer:
Frank and Carol Bellacera are confused
Explanation:
The fact that the couples are super -cautious in nature is getting them confused concerning what they actually wanted as they were trying to be extra careful.
They initially requested for a comparable sales price for their property towards listing, known as comparative market analysis which Dustin Giles provided. However , they went on to change their request to the actual value that a lender can be used to establish a loan which is appraisal .Dustin could have been able to do the appraisal if only he is an independent licensed appraiser practitioner.
Therefore from the scenario ,it is very obvious that Frank and Carole did not really know what they wanted or probably have not made up their mind concerning their decision on the property.
gains tax I) means that the investor doesn't need to pay taxes until the investment is sold. II) allows the investment to grow at a faster rate. III) means that you might escape the capital gains tax if you live long enough. IV) provides a tax shelter for investors.
Answer:
I), II), IV)
Explanation:
Deferral has a dictionary meaning of halting things for a while up till a certain future event.
Deferral of capital gains tax means not paying the capital gains tax up till the actual sales is made of investments attracting the capital gains tax.
It further helps the investor to focus on returns rather than the capital gains tax to be attracted and paid, which also allows the investment to grow fully.
It is a form of tax benefit to investors thus, it acts as a shelter.
Further, in no terms deferral of capital gains tax shall mean non payment of tax, as once the investment is sold the tax has to be deposited.

Answer:
1 orange
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
b. 1 orange.
c. 98 apricots.
d. 3 oranges.
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all of its resources are fully utilised.
As more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
If the economy moves to point A, it would be giving up
51 - 50 = 1 oranges

Answer:
Disclaim an opinion as to management's cost-benefit statement
Explanation:
In this scenario Bell a CPA was engaged to audit the effectiveness of Cain’s internal control over financial reporting.
After providing a report that stated there are several material weaknesses and potential errors and fraudulent activities that could occur.
Bell has completed his role in this audit by giving an opinion about the effectiveness of Cain's internal control.

Adison Winery had beginning long-term debt of $39,476 and ending long-term debt of $44,875. The beginning and ending total debt balances were $48,835 and $53,888, respectively. The company paid interest of $4,327 during the year. What was the company's cash flow to creditors?
Answer:
The answer is -$1,072
Explanation:
The company's cash flow to creditors is the total amount of money paid to the creditors. It is a cash outflow because money goes out of the company to pay the creditors.
Company's cash flow to creditors = Interest paid - (ending long-term debt - beginning long-term debt)
$4,327 - ($44,875 - $39,476)
$4,327 - $5,399
= -$1,072

"A $10,000 municipal bond with 5 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 2 years at 103. The taxable gain or loss is:"
Answer:
Taxable loss is $200
Explanation:
The cash paid for acquiring the municipal bond is 105% of $10,000 which is $10,500(105%*$10,000.
However, after 2 years the municipal bond was sold at 103% of the face value, in other words, the sales proceeds received is $10,300(103%*$10,000)
Conclusively, the loss on the sale of the municipal bond is the difference between the amount paid initially and the amount received thereafter i.e -$200($10,300-$10,500)

As the term "light" has a dictionary meaning of a very low in weight as compared to similar products in the market, is a very basic term to define the nature of product.
No labelling regulator has claimed that this kind of labelling is only allowed in the United States.
Further, the dictionary meaning of the word "natural" with respect to products shall mean, one that is not composed of high chemicals or transformation, but the major essence is extracted from the nature, i.e. from the environment.
Thus, the word natural can again be used by any country to label their product and in no manner is restricted to the United States.

d.Venus has the comparative advantage in clothing.
e. Mars has an absolute advantage in the production of food.
Answer:
The correct option is;
c. Mars should specialize in the production of clothing
Explanation:
The given table can be presented as follows;
Mars[tex]{}[/tex] [tex]{}[/tex]Venus
Food [tex]{}[/tex] Clothing Food [tex]{}[/tex] Clothing
0 [tex]{}[/tex] 30 0 [tex]{}[/tex] 40
2 [tex]{}[/tex] 24 4 [tex]{}[/tex] 32
4 [tex]{}[/tex] 18 8 [tex]{}[/tex] 24
5 [tex]{}[/tex] 12 12 [tex]{}[/tex] 16
8 [tex]{}[/tex] 6 16 8
10 0 20 [tex]{}[/tex] 0
From the attached chart as produced in Excel, the trend lines and their equation for Mars and Venus can be seen
The relationship between Clothing, y and Food, x production for Mars is given as follows;
y = -3·x + 30
The relationship between Clothing, y and Food, x production for Venus is given as follows;
y = -2·x + 40

An economist estimated that the price elasticity of demand for new cars to be 0.87 if the price of cars declines by 40%. One would expect the quantity of new cars to:______
Answer:
% change in quantity =34.8%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.
Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic
PED is computed as follows:
PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price
PED = 0.87
% change in Price = 40%
% change in Quantity =?
0.87 = y/40%/
Cross mulitiplying, we have
y = 0.87 × 40 = 34.8
Dividing both sides by 0.87
y = 34.8
% change in quantity = 34.8
% change in quantity =34.8

What is one reason that individual producers in a perfectly competitive market have no influence over prices?
Perfectly competitive firms collectively agree on prices.
Perfectly competitive firms must follow governmental price controls that keep prices low.
Perfectly competitive firms have high barriers to entry.
Perfectly competitive firms produce a small amount of a product compared to the total supply
Answer:
Un mercado competitivo es un mercado de competencia perfecta en donde el número de oferentes y demandantes es tan exorbitante que ninguno posee influencia sobre el otro, ninguna de las partes posee poder de mercado y las barreras para la entrada y salida no existen, el costo marginal de cada empresa se iguala al precio y cada empresa vende todas las unidades que desea y puede a ese precio.
Explanation:
s importante recordar que una situación de monopolio -o monopolista- se da cuando existe un único proveedor de un determinado bien o servicio.
Para detectar la presencia de un monopolio en la economía generalmente se recurre a la aplicación de índices económicos de concentración de mercado, dependiendo del criterio que tome el Índice asumimos que existe o no poder monopólico en un determinado mercado, y de existir...qué tan grande es.
Entre los más usados tenemos los siguientes:
El Índice de Herfindahl, el cual para calcularlo se eleva al cuadrado la cuota de mercado que una empresa posea en un determinado sector para saber qué tanto poder de monopolio posee la misma. Entre mayor sea el resultado de dicho índice, mayor será el poder de monopolio, y menos competitivo será el mercado.
Por otro lado, el otro indicador usado para estudiar la presencia o no de monopolios es el Índice de Lerner. Dicho índice consiste en evaluar qué tanto el empresario puede colocar el precio por encima del costo marginal (es decir, lo que le cuesta producirlo), y arrojará un valor que oscilará entre 0 y 1, entre más poder de monopolio posea, el número se acercará más a 1, y más capacidad tendrá de colocar el precio muy por encima de su costo.
Es importante recordar que existen monopolios naturales (concesiones que otorga el Estado para la explotación de un determinado recurso) o que están en manos del Estado, como las fuerzas armadas por ejemplo, o determinados servicios públicos. También comúnmente una característica de presencia de monopolio son los conglomerados empresariales que poseen empresas en determinados rubros y arropan un poder de mercado significativo.
