Answer: d). 50 units of grain and 130 units of incense.

Explanation: Comparative advantage for a country exists when it has a lower opportunity cost of producing a good as compared to the other country.

As given in the problem, a worker in agland can produce either 10 units of organic grain or 2 units of incense per year, and a worker in zenland can produce either 5 units of organic grain or 15 units of incense per year.

This, means that opportunity cost of producing organic grain in Agland is 0.2 i.e (2/10) and that in Zenland is 3 i.e (15/5). Thus, clearly Agland has a lower opportunity cost in production of organic grain. Thus, it will specialise in organic grain production , producing a total of 200 units of organic grain i.e (10*20 workers).

Similarly, Zenland has a lower opportunity cost in incense production which is 0.33 i.e(5/15) in comparison to 5 i.e(10/2) of Agland. So, Zenland will produce only Incense making a total of 150 units of incense (15* 10 workers).

Thus, before trade total organic grain produces was

100+50 = 150 units

Before trade incese produced was,

20+0=20 units

While, after trade the two countries produce a total of 200 units of organic grain and 150 units of incense.

Thus, increase in organic grain production is 200 - 150 = 50 units and of incense is 150-20 = 130 units

Thus, the correct answer is 50 units of grain and 130 units of incense.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

COGS= $181,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Finished Goods= $39,000

Ending Finished Goods= $53,000

Cost of goods manufactured= 234,000 - 39,000= $195,000

<u>To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:</u>

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 39,000 + 195,000 - 53,000

COGS= $181,000

<u>To calculate the direct material price (spending) variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2 - 2.25)*50,000

Direct material price variance= $12,500 unfavorable

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

latter, latter

Explanation:

Property rights system determine how economic resources are used and owned by individuals, associations, collectives, or governments.

It also includes intellectual property such as inventions or ideas.

Such rights reduce destructive competition for control of economic resources. and replace this competition by peaceful means.

In a system where people are allowed to keep one-third of the monetary rewards of their labor with a system in which they keep two-thirds, we should expect more entrepreneurship under the <u>latter</u> system and faster real economic growth under the <u>latter</u> system.
