Consider two neighboring island countries called Arcadia and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.

Jeans Corn
Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor)
Arcadia 8 16
Felicidad 5 20


Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce corn, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce corn. Consequently, Arcadia produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn, and Felicidad produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn it produces.


Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is____of corn, and Felicidad's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is____of corn. Therefore,____has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and____has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces jeans will produce ___ million pairs per week, and the country that produces corn will produce ____ million bushels per week.

When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 23 million pairs per week, and the total production of corn was 68 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by____million pairs per week, and the total production of corn has increased by____million bushels per week.

Because the two countries produce more jeans and more corn under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade.
Calculate the gains from trade—that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked “Increase in Consumption”).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is 2 bushels of corn, and Felicidad's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is 4 bushels of corn. Therefore, Arcadia has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and Felicidad has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces jeans will produce 32 million pairs per week, and the country that produces corn will produce 80 million bushels per week.

When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 23 million pairs per week, and the total production of corn was 68 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by 9 million pairs per week, and the total production of corn has increased by 12 million bushels per week.

Because the two countries produce more jeans and more corn under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade.

Calculate the gains from trade—that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked “Increase in Consumption”).

a) Dividends cause assets to increase.
b) Dividends have no effect on equity.
c) Dividends cause equity to increase.
d) Dividends cause equity to decrease.

Answers

Answer: d) Dividends cause equity to decrease.

Explanation:

Dividends are payments to shareholders as a way of sharing the profit that the company made with its owners. Net profit is added to the Equity of company.

In other words, dividends cause equity to decrease because they are taken from Retained Earnings (net income) which are added to Equity. By reducing the amount of Retained earnings available therefore, dividends are reducing Equity.

d) Dividends cause equity to decrease.

DividendsA dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders from its profits.Dividends are payments provided to shareholders as a means of sharing a company's earnings with its owners. The net profit is added to the company's equity.d) Dividends cause equity to decrease because they are deducted from Retained Earnings (net income), which are then added to Equity. Dividends reduce Equity since they reduce the amount of Retained Earnings available.

The Harris company has 3 options for a new production process. A Labor-Intensive process (A) would cost $350,000 for equipment and $35 for labor and materials for each item produced. A More Automated process (B) costs $970,000 in equipment but has a labor/material cost of $30 per item produced. A Fully Automated process (C) costs $2,510,000 for equipment and $22 per item produced. Based solely on cost, for what range of production should process B be chosen

Answers

Answer:

B is more profitable when the production level is higher than 124,000 units, but lower than 192,500

Explanation:

the difference between B and A per unit = $5

the difference in investment = $970,000 - $350,000 = $620,000

B is more profitable when total output is higher than $620,000 / $5 = 124,000 units

the difference between C and A = $8

the difference in investment = $2,510,000 - $970,000 = $1,540,000

C is more profitable when total output is higher than $1,540,000 / $8 = 192,500 units

When the classical model of decision making is said to be normative, this means: The model is most useful for nonprogrammed decisions The model is best suited for conditions of high uncertainty. The model defines how people actually make decisions, under less than ideal conditions. The model defines how people should ideally make decisions

Answers

Answer:

The model defines how people should ideally make decisions.

Explanation:

A positive statement can be defined as any statement that is typically based on empirical evidence and as such can be tested, proven and verified. Also, a positive statement can be amended or rejected based on evidences that are available.

On the other hand, a normative statement can be defined as any statement that can't be tested, proven or verified because it is judgmental and based on opinions.

The classical model of decision making is a strategic process which assumes that managers (decision makers) are well furnished with large amounts of information and as such are able to practically process the information for decision making.

When the classical model of decision making is said to be normative, this means the model defines how people should ideally make decisions.

3. Aztec Furnishings makes hand-crafted furniture for sale in its retail stores. The furniture maker has recently installed a new assembly process, including a new sander and polisher. With this new system, production has increased to 90 pieces of furniture per day from the previous 60 pieces of furniture per day. The number of defective items produced has dropped from 12 pieces per day to 5 per day. The production facility operates strictly eight hours per day. Evaluate the change in productivity for Aztec using the new assembly process. Please show your work and any formulas utilized.

Answers

Answer:

77.08%

Explanation:

Calculation to Evaluate the change in productivity for Aztec using the new assembly process

Using this formula

Change in productivity =[( Increased in production- Dropped in defective items produced)-(Previous pieces of furniture per day-Dropped in defective items produced)]/-(Previous pieces of furniture per day-Dropped in defective items produced)*100

Let plug in the formula

Change in productivity =[(90 pieces per day-5 per day)-(60 pieces per day-12 pieces per day )/(60 pieces per day-12 pieces per day) *100

Change in productivity =(85-48)/48*100

Change in productivity =37/48*100

Change in productivity =0.7708*100

Change in productivity =77.08%

Therefore the change in productivity for Aztec using the new assembly process will be 77.08% Increase in productivity.

There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.

Answers

Question Completion:

a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.

b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.

c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.

Answer:

The GDP Deflator and the CPI

a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.

b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here.  Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.

c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation.  Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.

Explanation:

The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP.  On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.

Answers

Answer:

A. $3.5 million

B. $120

Explanation:

A. Calculation for What is the post-money valuation for the last round of funding in dollars

First step is to calculate the total value of the company

Total value of the company = (200,000 + 100,000)* (150,000/100,000)

Total value of the company= (200,000 + 100,000)* $1.5

Total value of the company= 300,000 * $1.5 Total value of the company=$450,000

Now let calculate The post money valuation

Post money valuation = (200,000 + 100,000 + 400,000) * (2,000,000/400,000)

Post money valuation= (200,000 + 100,000 + 400,000) * $5

Post money valuation= 700,000 * $5

Post money valuation= $3.5 million

Therefore the post-money valuation for the last round of funding in dollars will be $3.5 million

B) Calculation for What is the estimated IPO stock price

First step is to calculate the EV

EV = $25 million * 5

EV= $100 million

Second step is to calculate the Total number of shares

Total number of shares = 700,000 + 300,000

Total number of shares = 1 million

Third step is to calculate the Equity

Equity = $100 million + $20 million

Equity = $120 million

Now let calculate the value per share

Value per share = $120 million/1 million

Value per share = $120

Therefore the estimated IPO stock price will be $120

d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless

Explanation:

Globalisation is defined as the increase in connectivity between different nations as a result of increased volume of trade and culture exchange that occurs between the nations.

Such increase in inter connectivity leads to a global economy where national borders do not seem to exist.

Globalisation reduces the cumbersome process of having to pay various charges when transacting between countires

Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs.
Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved.

Calculate the selling price per unit charged by the outside supplier that would make ABC Company economically indifferent between making and buying the part. Enter your answer with two places after the decimal point (i.e., 78.90).

Answers

Question Completion:

ABC Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The per unit product cost of this part is shown below:

Direct materials = $15.30

Direct labor =         27.40

Variable overhead   2.10

Fixed overhead =  24.70

Total =                 $69.50

An outside supplier has offered to sell ABC Company 40,000 units of this part a year for $66.10 per unit. If ABC Company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make this part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin that could be earned on this other product would be $100,000 per year. If ABC Company accepts the outside supplier's offer, $21.90 of the fixed overhead cost being applied to the part would be eliminated. The remaining amount would continue to be incurred and would be allocated to the company's remaining products.

Calculate the selling price per unit charged by the outside supplier that would make ABC Company economically indifferent between making and buying the part. Enter your answer with two | places after the decimal point (i.e., $78.90)

Answer:

ABC Company

The selling price that the outside supplier would charge ABC Company to make it economically indifferent between making and buying the part is:

= $90.50

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Required annual quantity of the part = 40,000 units

Outside supplier's price per unit =                 $66.10

Total savings =                                                  24.40

Total price for ABC to be indifferent =         $90.50

Savings from outside supply:

Additional contribution ($100,000/40,000) = $2.50

Eliminated fixed costs =                                  $21.90

Total savings =                                                $24.40

b) ABC Company would be indifferent and equally satisfied if the outside supplier charges it $90.50 or it makes the part at a per-unit cost of $69.50 while it loses a benefit or savings (otherwise called opportunity cost) of $24.40.

Why is it important to select products and services that represent best value for money

Answers

A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.

Answers

Answer:

All of the answers are correct.

Explanation:

The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.

This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.

Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.

Attached is a diagram of the supply curve

On April 1, Cyclone's Co. purchases a trencher for $314,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $57,000. Exercise 8-11 Straight-line, partial-year depreciation LO C2 Compute depreciation expense at December 31 for the first and second year assuming the company uses the straight-line method.

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $51,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $314,000

Salvage value= $57,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (314,000 - 57,000) / 5

Annual depreciation= $51,400

The depreciation expense is the same every year.

The computation is shown below:

Cash flow to creditors is

= Interest expense - long term debt on 2016 + long term debt on 2015

= $19,692 - $153,800 + $135,360

= $1,252

And, the cash flow to stockholder is

= Dividend paid - owner equity 2016 + owner equity 2015 + retained earnings

= $11,400 - $283,818 + $231,918 + $49,380

= $8,880

Explanation:

The value of the earnings today can be determined using a financial calculator.

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = $5,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 0

Cash flow in year 3 = $6,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 = $7,000

I = 7.16%

PV =

According to the fisher equation : (1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + inflation rate)

(1.09625) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1.023)

(1 + real interest rate) = 1.09625 / 1.023

real interest rate = 7.16%

Michael's, Inc., just paid $2.60 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 5.6 percent. If you require a rate of return of 9.8 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock

Answers

Answer:

$65.37

Explanation:

Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock

Using this formula

P/0 = D0 ( 1 + g ) / R-g

Let plug in the formula

P/0 = $2.60 (1 + .056) / .098 - .056

P/0 = $2.60 (1 .056)/0.042

P/0=$2.7456/0.042

P/0=$65.37

Therefore how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $65.37
