Nick and Beth run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and parties. It takes Nick 8 hours to prepare food for an event and 4 hours of effort to get each new client. For Beth, it takes 12 hours to prepare food for an event and 3 hours to get a new client.
1. Who has an absolute advantage in food preparation?
2. Who has a comparative advantage in food preparation?
Suppose that initially, Nick and Beth are both splitting both tasks for a large number of events. Then they decide to start shifting some work according to the principle of comparative advantage. In particular, the person with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event, and the other person will use the freed-up time to get more clients. As a result, the total number of events for which food is prepared will remain unchanged, but the number of new clients will increase by __?__.
The second part threw me off and I got confused. I put up the entire problem just to see if i answered it correctly or not to see whether that was what threw me off or not. Thanks in advance! :)
Answer:
NICK
NICK
2
Explanation:
A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries
Nick prepares food in 8 hours while Beth produces the food in 12 hours. ick thus has an absolute advantage in food preparation because he produces food in less time
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
Opportunity cost of Nick in food preparation = 4/8 = 0.5 hours
Opportunity cost of Beth in food preparation = 3 / 12 = 0.25 hours
Nick has a comparative advantage in food preparation
Inflation, nominal interest rates, and real rates. From 1991 to 2000, the U.S. economy had an annual inflation rate of around %. The historical annual nominal risk-free rate for this same period was around %. Using the approximate nominal interest rate equation and the true nominal interest rate equation, compute the real interest rate for that decade. What is the estimated real interest rate using the approximate nominal interest rate equation for that decade?
Answer:
the question is incomplete:
nominal interest rate = 5.07%
real interest rate = ?
inflation rate = 3.45%
approximate real interest rate = 5.07% - 3.45% = 1.62%
real interest rate = [(1 + 5.07%) / (1 + 3.45%)] - 1
real interest rate = (1.0507/1.0345) - 1 = 1.57%
An alumnus of West Virginia University wishes to start an endowment that will provide scholarship money of $40,000 per year beginning in year 5 and continuing indefinitely. The donor plans to give money now and for each of the next 2 years. If the size of each donation is exactly the same, the amount that must be donated each year at i = 8% per year is closest to:___.
a) $190.820.
b) $122.280.
c) $127.460.
d) $132.040.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Present value of a perpetuality = amount / interest rate
= $40,000 / 0.08 = $500,000
Let D denote denote denotions
[tex]D + \frac{D}{1 + 0.8} + \frac{D}{1.08^{2} } = $500,000[/tex]
D = $190.820.

Item1 1 points eBookAskReferencesItem 1 TB MC Qu. 06-91 The following information... The following information is taken from Reagan Company's December 31 balance sheet: Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,419 Accounts receivable 70,422 Merchandise inventories 60,362 Prepaid expenses 4,100 Accounts payable $ 14,950 Notes payable 86,638 Other current liabilities 9,500 If net sales for the current year were $612,000, the firm's days' sales uncollected for the year is: (Use 365 days a year.)
Answer: 42 days
Explanation:
To solve the above question, first, we will have to calculate the debtors turnover ratio which is the date sales uncollected for the year. This will be:
= Sales/Average Accounts Receivables
= $612,000 / $70,422
= 8.69 times
Since we are using 365 days for a year, then the firm's days sales uncollected for the year will be calculated as:
= 365 / 8.69
= 42 days

On January 1, 2015, Lake Co. purchased a machine for $1,056,000 and calculated depreciation using the straight-line method, with an estimated useful life of eight years, and no salvage value. On January 1, 2018, Lake determined that the machine had a useful life of six years from the date of acquisition, and a salvage value of $96,000. An accounting change was made in 2018 to reflect these data. The accumulated depreciation for this machine should have a balance at December 31, 2018, of ________. Group of answer choices
Answer:
$584,000
Explanation:
The computation of the accumulated depreciation is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be determined
Depreciation for 3 years = $1,056,000 ÷ 8 years × 3 years
= $396,000
Now the written down value is
= $1,056,000 - $396,000 - $96,000
= $564,000
For one year it would be
= $564,000 ÷ 3
= $188,000
Now the accumulated depreciation is
= $396,000 + $188,000
= $584,000
