Answer:
Explanation:
(A)
Governments should take measures -legal, fiscal, monetary, social, etc - to protect their economic advantages.
This is the reason for Ministers of Finance. A country should know the goods and services in which it has competitive advantage of production or supply or quality. The government should develop policies and tactics to protect this advantage.
(B)
Governments should only seldom penalize companies that offshore manufacturing jobs. Why? Because sometimes, it is necessary to offshore manufacturing jobs. Foreigners might have the exact expertise needed in that field. If the government however feels that foreigners are gaining traction in that sphere of the economy, they can create an avenue for their citizens to be equipped with the expertise.
(C)
No. Governments should not forbid the sale of know-how to other countries. The government should or could set a 'price floor' that is high, as the minimum amount at which the knowledge is to be sold. Sale of technological know-how is an important source of revenue so it should be encouraged.
(D)
Governments should adopt the Venetian Model.
Answer:
At the time of purchase of raw material inventory,
Raw material inventory account will debit and accounts payable account will credit.
Therefore, the Journal entry for this transaction is as follows:
Raw Materials Inventory Account Dr. $36,000
To Accounts Payable $36,000
(To record the purchase of raw material on account)
Workings:
Raw material Inventory = Units of raw material purchased × Price per unit
= 6,000 × $6
= $36,000
Answer: Focused cost leadership
Explanation:
Focused cost leadership could be described as targeting your market to a category of people only and not necessarily everyone. Some businesses do have a target market in mind when carrying out their production or sales. Their product isn't for everyone but this particular persons.

Answer:
Interest expense and a gain.
Explanation:
US GAAP allows companies to report their financial assets or financial liabilities at their fair market value, this is called the fair value option.
If interest rates increase, and of course the coupon rate is fixed, then they value of bonds will decrease. The same logic applies to bonds sold at a discount.
In this case, the company must report an interest expense in the income statement regardless of what happens to the interest rate, since the company must pay the coupon rate.
Since the price of the bonds decreased, then the company's liabilities (bonds payable) decrease, so the company must report a gain = bond's previous value - bond's current value
Answer: -30%
Explanation:
The Nominal gain is:
= 100,000 - 20,000
= 80,000 foci
Tax on nominal gain:
= 20% * 80,000
= 16,000 foci
After tax nominal value of land:
= 100,000 - 16,000
= 84,000 foci
The real value given the price index is:
= 84,000 / 600 * 100
= 14,000 foci
After tax real rate of cap. gain:
= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000
= -30%
