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.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Bramble free cash flow was $508,000

Explanation:

Cash provided by operations = $778,000

Cash used in investing = $672,000

Cash used in financing = $186,000

Cash spent on fixed assets during the period = $270,000

Average current liabilities = $637,000

Average total liabilities = $1,682,000

Free cash flow = Cash flow from operating activities - Capital expenditures

= $778,000 - $270,000

= $508,000

Sabv Corporation's break-even-point in sales is $840,000, and its variable expenses are 75% of sales. If the company lost $34,00
zhuklara [117]

Answer:sales must have amounted to:$704,000

Explanation:

Contribution ratio = Sales ratio - Variable cost ratio

= 100%- 75%

=25%

Sales to break even = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Therefore,

 Fixed expenses = Sales to break even   x  Contribution margin ratio

=$840,000 x 25%

=$210,000

Contribution margin can also be calculated as

Fixed expenses- Operating loss

=$210,000 -$34,000

=$176,000

Sales = Contribution margin/ Contribution ratio

= $176,000/25% =$704,000
