Answer:
The best way to find terms of trade that will ensure that two entities are in the best terms of trade will be to look at the opportunity costs of the various products they produce.
A high opportunity cost in one product relative to that of the other entity means the entity with the higher opportunity cost should be trading with the entity with the lower opportunity cost and vice versa.
For example, assume that an entity "A" produces both rice and beans whilst an entity "B" also produces rice and beans too.
If the opportunity cost to A of producing Beans is 300 bags of rice whilst the opportunity cost to B of producing Beans is 120 bags of rice, and the opportunity cost to A of producing rice is 180 bags of beans whilst it is 250 bags of beans to B, the principles of comparative advantage require that A should focus more on producing rice and purchase beans from B whilst B should focus more on producing beans and purchase rice from A.

If the company requires a return of 10 percent for such an investment, calculate the present value of the project.
The present value of the project is $72349.51.
Since we consider only incremental cash flows for a project, we consider $21,600 for year one and calculate a 4% increase for each of the additional years.
We then calculate the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF) at 10% for four years using the formula :
PVIF = 1 / [(1+r)^n]
Next, we find the product of the respective cash flows and PVIF for each year.
Finally, we find the total of the discounted cash flows for the four years to find the Present Value of the project.
Answer: $3,400
Explanation:
Gross Profit = Sales revenue - Cost of Goods sold
Cost of good sold = Opening stock + Purchases of inventory - Closing stock of inventory
= 0 + 4,400 - 1,800
= $2,600
Gross Profit = 6,000 - 2,600
= $3,400
Answer:
C.) $10,000
Explanation:
Working capital is the net of current asset and current liabilities. it is a financial measure that gives insight into how liquid a company is.
Raw materials also known as Inventory and accounts payable are both current assets and current liabilities respectively hence, Incremental investment in working capital if the project is accepted
= $17,000 - $7,000
= $10,000
