Answer:

D. Neither country could gain from trade with each other because neither one has a comparative advantage

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the units sacrificed from production of one good to produce an extra unit of another good.

In the given case, the number of workers are same.

The opportunity cost for producing corn instead of oats by Cornland would be : 10/40 units of oats =  0.4 units of oats

Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing corn by Oatland = 5/ 20 = 0.4 units of oats

Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing oats by Cornland = 4 units of corn

Opportunity cost for producing oats by Oatland = 4 units of corn.

As can be seen, none of the two i.e Cornland or Oatland enjoys a comparative advantage over other since for both, the opportunity cost is the same.

Hence, neither country would gain out of trade.

Neptune Inc. uses a standard cost system and has the following information for the most recent month, April: Actual direct labor
Naddik [55]

Answer:

$3,200 overapplied

Explanation:

The computation of the total underapplied or overapplied factory overhead is shown below:

Given that

Actual total factory overhead costs incurred is $45,400

Now Overhead applied to production

= (Total factory overhead application rate per standard DLH × Standard direct labor hours allowed)

= $2.70 × 18,000

= $48,600

As we can see that the overhead applied amount is more than the actual amount so the overhead cost would be overapplied i.e.  

 = $48,600 - $45,400

= $3,200 overapplied

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$26.05

d1 = next dividend to be paid = d0 x (1 + growth rate)

d0 = dividend that was just paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

1.5 x (1.045^6) / 12 - 4.5 = $26.05
