Assume Italy and Chad can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in Italy can produce 10 t of grain or 5 t of dates in a season. Each farmer in Chad can also produce 10 t of grain or 25 t of dates.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
3. Which country has the competitive advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
4. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

chad

neither

chad

Italy

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

The opportunity cost of  Italy in producing one unit of grain = 5/10 = 0.5t dates

The opportunity cost of  Italy in producing one unit of dates = 10/5 = 2grains

The opportunity cost of  Chad in producing one unit of grain =  25/10 = 2.5 dates

The opportunity cost of  Chad in producing one unit of dates = 10/25 = 0.4 grains

Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of grains while Chad has a comparative advantage in the production of dates

A country has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries. Chad produces 25t of dates while Italy produces 5t of dates, this shows that Chad has an absolute advantage in the production of dates. Both Italy and Chad produces the same quantity of grains so neither have an absolute advantage in the production of grains.

Bridges and Lloyd, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planning services. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently $250,000) has been allocated to services on the basis of billable hours to clients. A recent analysis found that 65% of the firm's billable hours to clients resulted from tax planning services, while 35% resulted from consulting services. The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identified three components of administrative cost, as follows: Staff Support $ 180,000 In-house computing charges 50,000 Miscellaneous office costs 20,000 Total $ 250,000 A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation between the number of staff personnel and the number of clients served (consulting, 20; tax planning, 60). In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous office cost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number of client transactions, respectively. Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours and had 20% of the total client transactions. If Bridges and Lloyd switched from its current accounting method to an activity-based costing system, the amount of administrative cost chargeable to consulting services would:

Answers

Answer: Decrease by $23,500

Explanation:

The Consulting cost under their current accounting system is:

= 250,000 * 35%

= $87,500

Under Activity based:

Staff support for Consulting:

20 goes to Consulting, 60 to tax planning.

Total = 20 + 60 = 80

Consulting is 20/80 of Staff support amount

= 20/80 * 180,000

= $45,000

In house computing charges for Consulting

Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours.

= 30% * 50,000

= $15,000

Miscellaneous office costs

Consulting consumed 20% of total client transactions

= 20% * 20,000

= $4,000

Total cost for Consulting under Activity based = 45,000 + 15,000 + 4,000

= $64,000

Difference = 87,500 - 64,000

= $23,500

b. Why are the four primary service outputs of spatial convenience, lot size, waiting time, and product variety important to logistics management? Provide examples of competing firms that differ in the level of each service output provided to customers.

Answers

Answer:

The primary service outputs of the spatial convenience, lot size, waiting time, and product variety) are important to logistics management and these importance are highlighted below:

Spatial convenience provide customers the benefit of shopping with lesser time and efforts as they can easily locate the products and find their product needs at a single place or well organised to find out and identify.

Lot size is important in logistics as larger lot size leads to more costs for storage and transportation and risks associated while smaller lots leads to faster service and delivery and lesser payments compared to bigger lot sizes.

Waiting time is important to logistics as the customers expect faster and efficient service in buying goods with less time for billing and purchasing the products. It improves the quality of service and indicates better management for customer convenience and satisfaction.

Product variety in logistics management helps to provide customers more value for their product and time and greater scope of satisfying their needs through different product options and wide range of products.

To have this amount when it is needed, he will make annual deposits at the end of each year into a savings account that earns 7.0% annual interest per year. How much must each annual deposit be

Answers

Answer:

$240.76

Explanation:

The formula to determine the annual deposit is :

p = FV / annuity factor

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

Annuity factor = (1.07^11 - 1) / 0.07 = 15.783599

p = $3800 / 15.783599 = $240.76

XYZ Corporation had 158 million shares outstanding on January 1, 2012. On February 2,2012, it issued an additional 30 million shares to the market at the market priceof $55 per share. What was the effect of this share issue on the price per share

Answers

Answer:

There was no effect of this share issue on the price per share

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the pre-issuance value

Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares

Total Value of equity = Numbers of outstanding shares x Market value per share = 158,000,000 shares  x $55 per share = $8,690,000,000

Now calculate the issuance values

Numbers of shares issued = 30,000,000 shares

Vaue of issued equity = NUmbers of shares issued x Mrket value per share = 30,000,000 x $55 per share = $1,650,000,000

Now determien the post issuance value

Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares + 30,000,000 shares = 188,000,000 shares

Total Value of equity = $8,690,000,000 + $1,650,000,000 = $10,340,000,000

Now calcuate the Value per share

Value per share = Post Issuance Total value of equity / Post issuance total numbers of shares = $10,340,000,000 / 188,000,000 shares = $55 per share

There is no effect of share issue on the price of the share.

Suppose you win $1 million in a lottery and your winnings are scheduled to be paid as follows: $400000 at the end of one year, $400000 at the end of two years, and $200000 at the end of three years. If the interest rate is 5 percent, what is the present discounted value of your winnings

Answers

Answer:

The present discounted value of the winnings is $916,531.69.

Explanation:

The present discounted values of each of the payment can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ...................... (1)

Where;

PV = Present discounted value of payment at the end of specified year(s)

FV = Future value or the scheduled amount

r = interest rate

n = year in which the payment is scheduled to be paid

Using equation (1), we have:

PV of payment at the end of one year = $400000 / (1 + 5%)^1 = $380,952.38

PV of payment at the end of two years = $400000 / (1 + 5%)^2 = $362,811.79

PV of payment at the end of three years = $200000 / (1 + 5%)^3 = $172,767.52

The present discounted value of the winnings can now be calculated as the additions of the 3 PVs above as follows:

PV of the winnings = PV of payment at the end of one year + PV of payment at the end of two years + PV of payment at the end of three years = $380,952.38 + $362,811.79 + $172,767.52 = $916,531.69

Therefore, the present discounted value of the winnings is $916,531.69.

Walker Manufacturing Company reported the following materials data for the month ending June 30:

Materials purchased $776,400
Materials inventory, June 1 219,000
Materials inventory, June 30 174,800

Determine the cost of direct materials used in production by Walker during the month ended June 30.

Answers

Answer:

the cost of direct material used is $820,600

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of direct material used is shown below:

= Opening inventory + material purchased - ending inventory

= $219,000 + $776,400 - $174,800

= $820,600

Hence, the cost of direct material used is $820,600

Someone offers to buy your old Ford F-150 truck for 4 equal annual payments, beginning 2 years from today. If you think that the present value of your Ford Truck is only $9,000 and you assume the interest rate is 10%, which one of the below would be the minimum annual payment that youâ d be willing to accept? $2,839.24 $3,435.48 $3,123.16 $2,250

Answers

Answer:

$3,123.16

Explanation:

The computation of the minimum annual payment is as follows:

Given that

RATE = 10%

NPER = 10%

PV = $9,000 × (1 + 0.1) = $9,900

FV = $0

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(RATE,NPER,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $3,123.16

d. E contributes $82,000 in cash to the business to receive a 22 percent interest in the partnership. No goodwill or other asset revaluation is to be recorded. Profits and losses have previously been split according to the following percentages: A, 10 percent; B, 30 percent; C, 20 percent; and D, 40 percent. After E makes this investment, what are the individual capital balances

Answers

Answer:

After E makes this investment, the individual capital balances are:

A = $29,073

B = $87,218

C = $58,145

D = $116,291

E = $82,000

Total = $327,727

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

E's capital contribution = $82,000 for 22%

Total capital after E's admission = $372,727 ($82,000/22%)

Old profits and losses sharing ratio:

A, 10 percent; B, 30 percent; C, 20 percent; and D, 40

New profits and losses sharing ratio and new capital balances

A = 10% of 78% = 7.8%         7.8% of $372,727 = $29,073

B = 30% of 78% = 23.4%    23.4% of $372,727 = $87,218

C = 20% of 78% = 15.6%     15.6% of $372,727 = $58,145

D = 40% of 78% = 31.2%     31.2% of $372,727 = $116,291

E = 22%                                22% of $372,727 = $82,000

Total = 100%                                                        $327,727

b) The capital of the partnership will total $327,727 while individual partnerships will have their capital accounts adjusted in line with the new profit sharing ratio and capital.

What should you do if you determine the root cause and find that it is out of your control?

a. Nothing. Once you determine the root cause, your work is done whether it is in your control or not.
b. Use a different analysis tool
c. Quit
d. Go back up to the previous question and see if you have control over that response

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: Nothing. Once you determine the root cause, your work is done whether it is in your control or not.

Explanation:

To begin with, the question is related to what is called "Root Cause Analysis" known in the management field as a process by which the managers tend to identify what cause a problem by looking deeply into the root of it thanks to an excesive analysis done by a team. It is necessesary to clarify that the main purpose of this method is just to identify the problems' root and from there to come out with solutions regarding the situation if able, but it is not the point of the analysis to take action or to implement those solutions. So therefore that if the situation turns to be out of the control of the person responsible for the analysis then there is nothing he could do because his job has already been done.

Answers

Answer:

Microeconomics

Microeconomics

Macroeconomics

Explanation:

Macroeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the economy as a whole. Macroeconomics studies economic aggregates such as inflation, unemployment, GDP and growth rate.

Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the decisions individuals and firms make in response to changes in economic factors. These factors include price, resources etc. it studies how firms and individuals allocate and make decisions about resources

Microeconomics: The effect of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions.

Microeconomics: The effects of the Internet on the pricing of used cars.

Macroeconomics: The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate.

The effect of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions: This topic would likely be studied in microeconomics. Microeconomics analyzes the behavior of individual firms, and the impact of government regulation on a monopolist's production decisions falls within this domain. The study would explore how government policies and regulations influence the production output, pricing strategies, and market behavior of a monopolist.

The effects of the Internet on the pricing of used cars: This topic would also be studied in microeconomics. The Internet's impact on the pricing of used cars relates to how individual buyers and sellers interact in a specific market. Microeconomics would investigate how the availability of online platforms, increased access to information, and changes in buyer-seller dynamics affect the pricing decisions of used cars.

The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate: This topic would be studied in macroeconomics. Macroeconomics focuses on the overall economy and aggregates like national income, employment, and inflation. The effect of federal government spending on the national unemployment rate is a macroeconomic question that looks at how government expenditures, such as infrastructure projects or stimulus packages, can influence the overall level of unemployment in the country.

Webber Technologies is an emerging manufacturer of 3.5 inch diagonal touch screens for mobile communication devices/media players. 2011 industry sales were reported at 17.50 million units. This number represents an 17.7 % increase over 2010 industry sales. Webber Technologies had a 2010 market share of 5.9 %, compared with a 2011 market share of 4.2%. What was the change in unit sales for Webber Technologies, from 2010 to 2011, attributable to the change in industry sales

Answers

Answer:

Industry Sales (2011) = 17,500,000

Industry Sales (2010) = Sales of 2011/1+growth = 17,500,000/1+17.7% = 17,500,000/1.177 = $14868309.26083263 = $14,868,309.26

Company Sales (2011) = 17,500,000 * 4.2% = $735,000

Company Sales (2010) = 14,868,309.26 * 5.9% = $877,230.25

Change in units = Company sales in 2011 - Company Sales in 2010  = $735,000 - $877,230.25 = $142,230.25

Change due to change in Industry growth = Company Sales in 2010 * 17.7% = $877,230.25 * 17.7% = 155,269.75

So, there is net increase of 155,269.75 units of sales due to industry growth.

a) Are elected by the corporate registrar.
b) Are responsible for day-to-day operations of the business.
c) Do not have the power to bind the corporation to contracts, due to lack of mutual agency.
d) May not also be executive officers of the corporation, due to the separate entity principle.
e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.

Answers

Answer:

e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.

Explanation:

A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.

This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.

Some examples of multinational firms are Ap-ple, Volkswagen, Go-ogle, Shoprite, Nestlé, Accenture, Shell BP, Chevron etc.

An owner of a corporation is known as a stockholder and he or she can decide to sell the corporation through stocks or shares as a publicly traded firm.

Basically, the board of directors who are representing the stockholders of a corporation are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities because they are typically considered to be a governing body saddled with oversight functions and responsibilities.

During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

a. $173,000

Explanation:

Missing word "Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000."

Percentage of profits Alpha charge to other customers = ($800,000 - $600,000) / $800,000 = 25% of sales

Stock held at year end by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $100,000 * 40% =$40,000

Profit involved in stock held by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $40,000 * 25% = $10,000

So, Value of stock of Beta = $88,000 - $10,000 = $78,000

Hence, Total for consolidated inventory = $95,000 + $78,000 = $173,000

Explanation:

Expenses are decreases in income that results as an increase in liabilities and decreases in assets. Note the Decreases in Assets and Increases in Liabilities that have occurred - they represent Expenses which need to be recognized.

Service revenue is recognized when the services are actually performed, thus Reverse the Unearned Service Revenue when services are performed.
