Answer:

Assume there are no transportation costs. With trade, the price of $22.5 brings about balance in exports and imports. At this price, 600 smartphones are traded. With trade, Sweden produces 900 smartphones and consumes 300 smartphones, and Norway produces 300 smartphones and consumes 900 smartphones.

Now suppose the per-unit transportation cost from Sweden to Norway is $5. With trade, the transportation cost changes the price of smartphones in Sweden to $25 and in Norway to $25. Sweden will produce 800 smartphones and consume 400 smartphones, thus exporting 400 smartphones. Norway will produce 400 smartphones and consume 800 smartphones, thus importing 400 smartphones.

Explanation:

With no transportation costs, Sweden shall export smartphones and Norway shall import smartphones because the market price is lower in Sweden than in Norway.

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Sweden, derived from the given values, are:

Q_{D} = 1200 - 40P\\

Q_{S} = 40P

The export supply (ES) equation is:

ES = Q_{S} - Q_{D}

ES = 40P - (1200 - 40P)

ES = 80P - 1200

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Norway, derived from the given values, are:

Q_{D} = 1800 - 40P

Q_{S} = 40P - 600

The import demand (ID) equation is:

ID = Q_{D} - Q_{S}

ID = 1800 - 40P - (40P - 600)

ID = 2400 - 80P

The equilibrium price and quantity traded is determined where ES = ID.

80P - 1200 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 22.5

Q = 2400 - 80(22.5) = 600

Next, a transaction cost of $5 per unit is imposed from Sweden to Norway. This changes the ES function as follows.

New ES = 80(P - 5) - 1200

New ES = 80P - 1600

The new equilibrium is where New ES = MD.

80P - 1600 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 25

Q = 80(25) - 1600 = 400

The period manufacturing costs of a company is comprised of $2,000,000 in direct materials, $1,000,000 in direct labor, and $500
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The Direct material cost per unit is = 285.714 per unit

The  Direct labor per unit is= 142.857 per unit

The Overhead cost per unit is  = 71.4285 per unit

Explanation:

Solution

We recall that:

The total direct material= $2000000

The total direct labor= $1000000

The units in products = 7000 units

The total Overheads= $500000

Now,

The direct materials on machinery is = $ 800,000(40%)

The direct labor on machinery  is= $ 600,000(60 %)

The machinery on overheard  is = $ 250,000(50 %)

The direct materials on assembly is  = $ 1200,000

The Direct labor on assembly is  = $ 400,000

The Overhead on assembly  is = $ 250,000

Thus,

The hybrid manufacturing cost statement is represented or shown below

Particular   Machinery (40%)in $     Assembly (60%)in $  Total in $

Now,

Particular = Direct material,

Machinery (40%)in $  = 800000

Assembly 60% in $ = 1200000

Total in $ =2000000

Grand total = 1650000

Particular = labor

Machinery (40%)in $  = 600000

Assembly 60% in $  = 400000

Total in $ = 1000000

Grand total = 1850000

Particulars = Overhead

Machinery (40%)in $ =250000

Assembly 60% in $ = 250000

Total in $ = 500000

Grand total = 3500000

Thus,

The Direct material cost per unit = 2000000/7000 = 285.714 per unit

The  Direct labor per unit = 1000000/700 = 142.857 per unit

The Overhead cost per unit = 500000/7 = 71.4285 per unit

How much time will be needed for 35,000 to grow to 44,622.09 if deposited at 7% compounded quarterly
Vlad [161]

Answer:

It will take 14 quarters (3.5 years) to reach $44,622.09 from $35,000 at an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

PV= 35,000

FV= 44,622.09

i= 0.07/4= 0.0175

We need to calculate the number of quarters required to reach the objective. We will use the following formula:

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)

n= ln(44,622.09/35,000) / ln(1.0175)

n= 14

It will take 14 quarters (3.5 years) to reach $44,622.09 from $35,000 at an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly.

Carlisle Company has been cited and must invest in equipment to reduce stack emissions or face EPA fines of $18,500 per year. An
Ahat [919]

Answer:

equivalent annual cost: 19,784.81

The investment is not economically justified as it is cheaper to pay the fines than invest in the equipment to avoid them.

Explanation:

We calcualte the PMT of a 75,000 dollars equipment at 10%

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV 75,000

time 5

rate 0.1

75000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-5} }{0.1} = C\\

C                 $ 19,784.811

EPA fines:    <u>   </u><u>$ 18,500.00  </u>

differential:          (1, 284.81)
