Assume the United States can use a given amount of its resources to produce either 20 airplanes or 8 automobiles and Japan can employ the same amount of its resources to produce either 20 airplanes or 10 automobiles. The U.S. should specialize in airplanes.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The resources which are used to produce goods are available in limited amount in the economy. But these resources can be used for alternative purposes and producing various goods. So the producers should focus on the optimum utilization of the resources.
The United States of America can produce 20 airplanes with that amount of the resources, so it should specialist in producing air planes and not on the production of the auto mobiles. Because it can produce only 8 automobiles.
Answer:
- Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
- Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000
Explanation:
The total estimated bad debts are $4,800 (= $80,000 x 6%). So the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account ending balance should be $4,800. Since this account is a contra asset account, the ending balance should be $4,800 credited.
But currently the account has a $1,200 debit balance (it's like -$1,200), so the adjustment record must be = $4,800 + $1,200 = $6,000
That way the ending balance = $6,000 - $1,200 = $4,800
The journal entries should be:
- Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
- Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000
Answer:
$18.60
Explanation:
Target cost:
= Sales revenue - Profit
= (No. of units sold × Selling price per unit) - (Investment require × desired return on investment)
= (20,000 × $21) - ($400,000 × 0.12)
= $420,000 - $48,000
= $372,000
Target cost per unit:
= Target cost ÷ Number of units
= $372,000 ÷ 20,000
= $18.60
Therefore, the target cost per unit is closest to $18.60.

Answer:
14.77%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.97% + 1.40 × 7%
= 4.97% + 9.8%
= 14.77%
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium and the same is shown in the answer
