Given the above scenario, the total production in the U.S. and Mexico will be maximized if Mexico focuses on Agricultural produce and the US on Manufactured produce.

<h3>What is product maximization?</h3>

Product maximization refers to the process via which two trading nationalities or entities focus on the goods where they have the least opportunity cost.

Thus, n this case,  the total production in the U.S. and Mexico will be maximized if Mexico focuses on Agricultural produce and the US on Manufactured produce.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future

Explanation:

The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.

On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.

Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Price is sum of:

1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;

2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.

Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:

PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482

*0.8929 = 1/1.12

PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042

PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691

PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445

Total = $17.661

Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:

Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)

5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9

Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57

Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7

So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

C. The FIFO method computes equivalent units based only on production activity in the current period, ignoring the percentage of completion in beginning Work in Process inventory.

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Which of the following statements is most accurate?

A. In process costing, estimating the degree of completion of units is usually more accurate for conversion costs than for direct materials.

B. The FIFO method includes the cost of the beginning Work in Process inventory account in calculating cost per equivalent units.

C. The FIFO method computes equivalent units based only on production activity in the current period, ignoring the percentage of completion in beginning Work in Process inventory.

D. The FIFO method of calculating equivalent units of production merges the work and the costs of the beginning inventory with the work and the costs done during the current period.

E. It is not possible for there to be a significant difference between the cost of completed units between the weighted average and the FIFO methods.

EXPLANATION

FIFO method which is known as

(First In, First Out) can be regarded as an asset-management as well as valuation method , this method follows a process whereby any assets that is first produced or acquired are the asset that are sold first or first disposed. For the purposes of tax, FIFO gives assumption that assets that has oldest costs are usually entered into cost of goods sold I.e (COGS) income statements. Fifo can be calculated by finding the cost of oldest inventory, then multiply it by the amount of inventory sold.

It should be noted that The FIFO method computes equivalent units based only on production activity in the current period, ignoring the percentage of completion in beginning Work in Process inventory
