An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a security issued by a U. S. bank and traded on a U. S. stock exchange that represents a specific number of shares of a foreign stock. For example, Nokia Corporation trades as an ADR under the symbol NOK on the NYSE. Each ADR represents one share of Nokia Corporation stock, which trades under the symbol NOK1V on the Helsinki stock exchange.
If the U. S. ADR for Nokia is trading for $ 7.18 per share, and Nokia stock is trading on the Helsinki exchange for euro 5.43 per share, use the Law of One Price to determine the current $/euro exchange rate. (Round to three decimal places.)

Activity-based costing (abc) is not truly a cost collection mechanism as much as it is an inventory valuation method. the main purpose for implementing an activity-based cost system is to try to overcome some of the cost distortions that occur in traditional costing from product differences when there are variations in size and complexity. however, one of the disadvantages of utilizing abc is that the additional information gathering necessary to implement costing with that level of detail might be beyond the reach of some companies with resource or financial constraints. with this in mind, what kinds of industries or companies do you think would benefit most from using activity-based costing and why? in designing or modifying an accounting system to capture appropriate costs for abc, what considerations do you think would need to be made?
