Assume there are two countries (France and the United States) and two goods (Wine and Cheese). In France, labor productivity in Wine is 40 bottles per hour and 30 kilos per hour in Cheese. In the US, labor productivity in Wine is 12 bottles per hour and 12 kilos per hour in Cheese. Given this information, which country has the comparative advantage in Cheese
Answer:
United States
Explanation:
A comparative advantage results when a country's opportunity cost of producing good X is lower than the opportunity cost of producing good X in another country.
France
Opportunity cost of producing wine = 30/40 = 0.75 kilos of cheese
Opportunity cost of producing cheese = 40/30 = 1.33 bottles of wine
United States
Opportunity cost of producing wine = 12/12 = 1 kilo of cheese
Opportunity cost of producing cheese = 12/12 = 1 bottle of wine
France has a comparative advantage in the production of wine, and the US has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese.
Unemployment is often called a lagging or trailing indicator because unemployment tends to rise some time after the economy begins to slow down, and unemployment begins to fall again after the economy begins to rebound. Unemployment trails GDP because:

B) firms reduce hours before laying off when the economy is in recession, and increase hours before hiring when the economy expands.
C) when the economy is in a recession, firms do not want to pay unemployment insurance, and during expansions they do not want the added cost of new employees.
D) the labor force increases during recessions and shrinks during expansions.
Answer:
B) firms reduce hours before laying off when the economy is in recession, and increase hours before hiring when the economy expands.
Explanation:
In the case when the output falls so the workers would not be laid off in a direct manner. In the first time the labor would be decreased so that the demand could be analyzed. The same would be happen in that case also where the growth picked up
Therefore in the given case, the option B is correct
And the other options are wrong

Company acquired land and buildings for $1,000,000. The land is appraised at $450,000 and the buildings are appraised at $800,000. The debits to the Land and Buildings accounts will be:
Answer:
Debit Land for $360,000
Debit Buildings for $640,000
Explanation:
The total acquisition cost has to be allocated based on the appraisal value of each of the Land and Buildings.
Therefore, the amount to be debited to the Land and Buildings accounts can be calculated as follows:
Total acquisition cost = $1,000,000
Land appraisal value = $450,000
Buildings appraisal value = $800,000
Total appraisal value = Land appraisal value + Buildings appraisal value = $450,000 + $800,000 = $1,250,000
Amount allocated to Land = (Land appraisal value / Total appraisal value) * Total acquisition cost = ($450,000 / $1,250,000) * $1,000,000 = $360,000
Amount allocated to Buildings = (Buildings appraisal value / Total appraisal value) * Total acquisition cost = ($800,000 / $1,250,000) * $1,000,000 = $640,000
Therefore, the debits to the Land and Buildings accounts will be the allocated amounts to each as follows:
Debit Land for $360,000
Debit Buildings for $640,000

Jacklyn carves ice sculptures. She carves and sells 10 sculptures. Her average cost of production per sculpture is $50. She sells each sculpture for a price of $150. Jacklyn's total profits are:______
a. $150.
b. $1,000.
c. $500.
d. $1,500.
Answer:
b. $1,000
Explanation:
To start with, we know that the formulae for total profit is;
= total revenue - total cost.
Total revenue
= price × quantity
= $150 × 10
= $1,500
Total cost
= units sold × average cost of production per sculpture
= 10 × $50
= $500
Therefore,
Total profit = $1,500 - $500
Total profit = $1,000

Suppose US$1 = €0.7809 in New York and US$1 = €0.7793 in Paris. How can foreign exchange traders profit from these exchange rates? What actions can they take that may result in the same dollar/euro exchange rate in both New York and Paris? Please limit your response to one or two reasonably-sized paragraphs.
Answer:
If a Dollar is worth $ 0.7809 Euros in New York, and $ 0.7793 Euros in Paris, the way in which foreign exchange traders could obtain an economic profit through this difference would be by buying Euros in Paris, and selling them again in New York. Thus, they would obtain $ 0.016 of profit for each Euro traded in the market, with which, for example, if $ 1,000,000 of Euros were traded, a total profit of $ 16,000 would be obtained. In turn, trading the same amount in both Paris and New York, traders would not make any profit, equating both exchange rates.
The next dividend payment by ASAP, Inc., will be $2.00 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 4.00% growth rate, forever. If ASAP stock currently sells for $14.75 per share, what is the required return?
Answer:
r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return
Plugging in the values for D1, P0 and g, we can calculate the value of r to be,
14.75 = 2 / (r - 0.04)
14.75 * (r - 0.04) = 2
14.75r - 0.59 = 2
14.75r = 2 + 0.59
r = 2.59 / 14.75
r = 0.175593 or 17.5593% rounded off to 17.56%

The consumer price index was 200 in 2008 and 190 in 2009. The nominal interest rate during this period was 4.5 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period
Answer:
the real interest rate is 9.5%
Explanation:
The computation of the real interest rate is shown below:
But before that inflation rate need to be determined
Inflation rate is
= [CPI this year - CPIlast year] ÷ CPI last year
= {(190 - 200) ÷ 200} × 100
= -0.05 × 100
i = -5%
Now the real interest rate is
real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate
= 4.5% - (- 5%)
= 9.5%
Hence, the real interest rate is 9.5%
Crane Corp. had total variable costs of $281,400, total fixed costs of $130,350, and total revenues of $420,000. Compute the required sales in dollars to break even.
Answer:required sales to break even=$395,000
Explanation:
Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses / Contribution Margin
But
Fixed Costs /Expenses is given as $130,350
And
Contribution Margin Ratio is solved as (Total Revenue - Variable Cost) / Total Revenue x 100
= ($420,000-$281,400)/ $420,000 x 100
=0.33 x 100
= 33%
Break Even Sales = $130,350/33%
= $395,000

There is a zero coupon bond that sells for $4,550.90 and has a par value of $10,000. If the bond has 18 years to maturity, what is the yield to maturity'? Assume semiannual compounding.
A. 4.47%
B. 4.27%
C. 4.31%
D. 4.24%
E. 4.42%
Answer:
E. 4.42%
Explanation:
Calculation for the yield to maturity
First step is to calculate the Current price using this formula
The Current price=Par value/(1+yield to maturity/2)^(2*Time period)
$4,550.90=$10,000/(1+yield to maturity/2)^(2*18)
(1+yield to maturity/2)^36=($10,000/$4,550.90)
1+yield to maturity/2=($10,000/$4,550.90)^(1/36)
Now let calculate the yield to maturity
Yield to maturity/2=1.0221092-1
Yield to maturity=0.0221092*2
Yield to maturity=0.0442*100
Yield to maturity=4.42%
Therefore the Yield to maturity will be 4.42%

Required:
What is the capacity of the machine in parts per minute?
Answer:
The capacity of the machine in parts per minute is 3 parts per minute

n = 5
i = 8%
Now the withdrawal amount is
AW = P(A/P, i, n)
= $5,000 (A/P, 8%, 5)
= $5,000(0.2505)
= $1,252.5
Therefore, he should withdraw $1,252.5 each year.
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
