The fictional country of Anastialia is a small country with rich resources in minerals. In an 8 hr work day it can produce 100 pounds of silver or 50 pounds of copper. If Anastialia decides to produce copper instead of silver it is ignoring the fact that its silver production has a(n)________ to copper.

a. production advantage
b. absolute advantage
c. comparative advantage

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. comparative advantage

Explanation:

As we know that

The one pound of silver would be equivalent to 0.5 pound of copper

And,

one pound of copper would be equivalent to 2 pounds of silver

based on this, there is a comparative advantage with respect to the silver production

Hence, the correct option is c.

Therefore all the other options are incorrect

Bantam company calculated its net income to be $77,600 based on the unadjusted trial balance. The following adjusting entries were then made for: Salaries and wages owed but not yet paid of $795. Interest earned but not received from investments of $755. Prepaid insurance premiums amounting to $555 have expired. Deferred revenue in the amount of $755 has now been earned. Required: Determine the amount of net income (loss) that will be reported after the adjustments are recorded.

Answers

Answer:

$77,760

Explanation:

After adjustment items of expenses will be deducted from the Net income, and items of income will be added to the net income.

Item of expenses = unpaid salary + Prepaid insurance (Expired)

Item of income = Interest earned + revenue

Net income after deduction = 77,600 - 795 - 555 + 755 + 755

Net income after deduction = $77,760

Brad's Diner is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $32,000 a year for 4 years as a result. This expansion requires $39,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $3,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 12 percent

Answers

Answer: $57,101.73

Explanation:

First find the present value of the cash inflows. The $32,000 is a constant payment so is an annuity. The net working capital will be realized at the end of the project as well.

Present value of cash inflows = (32,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 4 years, 12%) + 3,000/ (1 + 12%)⁴

= (32,000 * 3.0373) + 1,906.55

= ‭$99,101.73

NPV = Present value of inflows - Outflows

= ‭99,100.15‬ - (39,000 + 3,000)

= $57,101.73

Germany is capital abundant country and Japan is labor abundant country. If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that Question 22 options: Japan will export computers in exchange for beer. Germany will export computers in exchange for beer. Germany is too small to be of economic interest to Japan. Computers and beer don't mix, so trade cannot increase either country's well-being.

Answers

Answer:

If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that

Germany will export computers in exchange for beer.

Explanation:

The H-O model or Heckscher-Ohlin theory is an economic model about the comparative advantages of nations in international trade.  The model tries to explain the equilibrium of trade existing between two countries that have varying specialties and natural resources.  According to the H-O model, countries export more goods and services for which they have plenty resources than they do for goods and services for which they have scarce resources.  For example, if a country has capital in abundance, it will export more of capital-intensive products while it will import labor-intensive products, because it has scarce labor resources.

A. a consistent movement in​ sales, merchandise​ inventory, and accounts receivable B. operating activities are a major source of cash flows C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row D. a reduction in the debt ratio

Answers

Answer:

C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row

Explanation:

A  significant decrease in net income for several years in a row show that the firm is generating less revenue or its expenses are generally increasing at a rate greater than the sales. This may soon lead into a loss. A loss making firm will eventually have challenges in cashflow. So, this signals financial trouble.

The following information was available from the inventory records of Sheffield Corp. for January: Units Unit Cost Total Cost Balance at January 1 9200 $9.73 $89516 Purchases: January 6 6400 10.31 65984 January 26 7900 10.71 84609 Sales January 7 (7700 ) January 31 (11300 ) Balance at January 31 4500 Assuming that Sheffield does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar

Answers

Answer:

$45,990

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost Method, calculates a new Unit Cost with every purchase that is made. This is applicable to perpetual Inventory method. In this case we are required to use the periodic Inventory method (Sheffield does not maintain perpetual inventory records). Thus our Unit Cost is calculated from Inventory available for Sale.

Step 1

Units Available For Sales Calculation :

Opening Balance                           9,200

Add Purchases (6,400 + 7,900)   14,300

Units Available for Sale               23,500

Less Units Sold (7700 + 11300)  (19,000)

Ending Inventory Units                  4,500

Step 2

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units Available for Sale

                = ($89,516  + $65,984 + $84,609) ÷ 23,500

                = $10.22

Step 3

Ending Inventory = Units in Stock × Unit Cost

                             = 4,500 × $10.22

                             = $45,990

8-4 Valuing Commercial Real Estate BuildingOne Properties is a limited partnership formed with the express purpose of investing in commercial real estate. The firm is currently considering the acquisition of an office building that we refer to simply as building B. Building B is very similar to building A, which recently sold for $36,960,000. BuildingOne has gathered general information about the two buildings, including valuation information for building A:

Answers

Answer:

the question is incomplete:

Buildings A and B are similar in size (80,000 and 90,000 square feet, respectively). However, the two buildings differ both in maintenance costs ($23 and $30 per square foot) and rental rates ($100 versus $120 per square foot). At this point, we do not know why these differences exist. Nonetheless, the differences are real and should somehow be accounted for in the analysis of the value of building B using data based on the sale of building A. Building A sold for $462 per square foot, or $36,960,000. This reflects a sales multiple of six times the building’s net operating income (NOI) of $6,160,000 per year and a capitalization rate of 16.67%.

NOI of building A = ($100 x 80,000 ft²) - ($23 x 80,000 ft²) = $6,160,000

NOI of building B = ($120 x 90,000 ft²) - ($30 x 90,000 ft²) = $8,100,000

building B's market value = NOI / capitalization rate = $8,100,000 / 0.1667 = $48,600,000

property value = $48,600,000 / 90,000 ft² = $540 per ft²

Answers

Answer:

Towell Company

Journal Entries:

Debit Interest Expense $1,790

Credit Interest Payable $1,790

To record the interest expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

i) Nov. 25: Issue of 90-day, 10% Note Payable = $80,000

Interest on the note for the year = $80,000 * 10% * 36/360 = $800

ii) Dec. 7: Issue of 120-day, 9% Note Payable = $120,000

Interest on the note for the year = $120,000 * 9% * 24/360 = $720

iii) Dec. 22: Issue of 60-day, 9% Note Payable = $120,000

Interest on the note for the year = $120,000 * 9% * 9/360 = $270

Total interest payable for the year = $1,790

QS 23-11 Selection of sales mix LO P3 Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce two units of X per hour or three units of Y per hour, and it has 4,700 production hours available. Contribution margin is $6 for product X and $5 for product Y. 1. Calculate contribution margin per production hour. 2. What is the most profitable sales mix for this Company

Answers

Answer:

Contribution margin per production hour

Product X = $12

Product Y = $15

Explanation:

Part 1

Contribution margin per production hour

Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product

Therefore,

Product X =  $6 ÷ 0.5

                 = $12

Product Y =  $5 ÷ 0.33

                 = $15

Part 2

The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.

This mix would have been calculated by :

Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.

Answers

Answer:

If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 11,600

Garcia can sell the units as is for $2 each or, it can repair the units at a total cost of $19,600 and then sell them for $5 each.

We will not take into account the original cost of production because they remain constant in both options.

Sell as-is:

Effect on income= 11,600*2= $23,200

Repair:

Effect on income= 11,600*5 - 19,600= $38,400

If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.
