The United States has a large trade deficit. It has a trade deficit with all its major trading partners, but some countries (such as China) have significantly higher imbalances than others. Imagine the U.S. ending its entire trade deficit (with the world as a whole). Do you think it will always have a negative trade balance with all its trading partners? Does the exceptionally large trade deficit with China necessarily mean that China does not allow U.S. products to compete on an equal footing with Chinese products?

Determine the critical path. In the first year of operation, Master Plumbing Supply Co. had net sales of $3,500,000 to $3,500,000 $3,500,000, wrote off accounts ranging from $50,000 to $50,000 $50,000 unrecoverable on a direct depreciation method and reported net earnings of $390,500 to $390,500 $390,500. Imagine a scenario where there are three economies of equal size (A, B and C) and three elements (clothing, cars and computers). Suppose buyers want to spend the same amount on all three products in each of the three economies. The production values of each product in each of the three economies are as follows: Determine what the balance of the value adjustment for doubtful accounts would have been at the end of the second year if the value adjustment method had been applied in both the first and second years.
