In Lurnee, it takes 10 resources to produce 1 ton of cocoa and 13.5 resources to produce 1 ton of rice. In South Tyberg, it take

s 40 resources to produce 1 ton of cocoa and 20 resources to produce 1 ton of rice. Lurnee has a comparative advantage over South Tyberg in cocoa. This follows the theory of comparative advantage, and we can say that engaging in free trade benefits all countries that participate in it; however, this conclusion stems from which of these inaccurate assumptions?
A. We have assumed that agrarian nations do not specialize in producing particular products.
B. We have assumed the prices of resources and exchange rates in the two countries are dynamic.
C. We have assumed diminishing returns to specialization.
D. We have assumed constant returns to scale.
E. We have assumed there are barriers to the movement of resources from the production of one good to another within the same country.

Answer: We have assumed constant returns to scale.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage simply stated that an economy should produce the goods whereby the said economy has a lower opportunity cost than its counterpart.

Based on the analysis in the question, the inaccurate assumption is that we have assumed constant returns to scale. This means that an increase in the inputs such as capital and labour which are used in producction will also cause an identical increase in output. In reality, this isn't always true.

Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of
vova2212 [387]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-

Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost

= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200

= 74%

2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:

Particulars                Job 86        Job 87        Job 88        Job 89

Beginning balance $6,888       $6,820

Direct materials       $3,000      $7,000         $2,100          $1,500

Direct labor              $800          $6,000        $900            $500

Applied overhead  

is 74% of direct labor $592           $4,440       $666            $370

Total                          $11,280       $24,260      $3,666      $2,370

3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-

Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666

Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89

= $11,280 + $2,370

= $13,650

4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

Cost of goods sold is

= Job 87

= $24,260

The table below presents the average and marginal cost of producing cheeseburgers per hour at a roadside diner.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a. At a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the average total cost of production is<u> falling </u>and the marginal cost of cheeseburger production is <u>rising</u>.

b. At a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, the average variable cost of production is <u>  rising </u> and the average total cost of cheeseburger production is <u>at a minimum</u>.

Explanation:

a. At a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the average total cost of production is<u> </u><em><u>falling </u></em>and the marginal cost of cheeseburger production is <em><u>rising</u></em>.

From the table in the question, it can be observed that the average total cost of production at a quantity of 30 cheeseburgers per hour is higher than the average total cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, while the average total cost of production at a quantity of 50 cheeseburgers per hour is lower than the average total cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour. This implies that at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the average total cost of production is<u> falling.</u>

Also from the table in the question, it can be observed that the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 30 cheeseburgers per hour is lower than the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, while the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 50 cheeseburgers per hour is higher than the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour. This implies that at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the marginal cost of production is<u> rising.</u>

b. At a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, the average variable cost of production is <u> </u><em><u> rising</u></em><u> </u> and the average total cost of cheeseburger production is <em><u>at a minimum</u></em>.

From the table in the question, it can be observed that the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 50 cheeseburgers per hour is lower than the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, while the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 70 cheeseburgers per hour is higher than the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour. This implies that at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, the average variable cost of production is<u> rising.</u>

Also from the table in the question, it can be observed that the average total cost of cheeseburger production at quantities of 50 and 60 cheeseburgers per hour are equal and the lowest on the table, this implies that the average total cost of cheeseburger production is <u>at a minimum</u> at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour.

Directions: Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility. Something that isn't value either doesn't give utility, or it
suter [353]

Answer:

Scarcity and Utility

I will explain the concepts of scarcity, value, and utility using my laptop and some writing pens.  I have only one laptop available in my family.  I use it 24-hours daily.  I attach so much value (utility) to the laptop because it is only one.  It is very scare in my household.  On the other hand, I have a packet of writing pens.  Pens are relatively not scare in my household.  If my laptop is missing, I will raise uproar in the house.  Everybody present will answer a tedious query.  But, if one of the pens gets missing, I may not even be aware that it is missing.  At the moment, I do not attach much value (utility) to the writing pens because I have many of them presently .  Writing pens are not scare in my household, as I said earlier.

Using these examples, I have demonstrated the concepts of scarcity, utility, and value.

Explanation:

Therefore, scarcity is defined by the value and the relative availability of a good.  Scarcity is a basic economic problem that shows the gap existing between limited resources and unlimited needs.  Based on the lack experienced with satisfying a need, one has to always choose between alternatives in order to maximize resource allocation and utility.

Utility in Economics refers to the value or satisfaction derivable from the meeting of a human or economic need.  It is initially connected to the concept of scarcity.  But after attaining some level of utility, scarcity temporarily evaporates.  And this is the dividing thin line.  This is why they are mostly used together.  "Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility."  Something that is not highly valuable is not usual scarce and does not give much utility, at least, to an extent.

Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ). The Gentry Garden Center sells 100,000 bags of lawn fertilizer annually. The optimal safety st
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1. Annual demand ( D) = 100,000 bags

Ordering cost per order (Co) = $15

Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 15% x  $2 = $0.30

EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>

                H

EOQ = √<u>2 x 100,000 x $15</u>

                  0.30

EOQ = 3,162 units

2. Maximum inventory

   = Safety stock + EOQ

   = 1,500 + 3,162

   = 4,662 units

3. Average inventory

   = EOQ/2

   = <u>3,162</u>

         2

   = 1,581 units

4. Number of order

   = <u>Annual demand</u>

            EOQ

   = <u>100,000</u>

        3,162

  = 32 times

       

Explanation:

EOQ is the square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by  holding cost per item per annum.

Maximum inventory is the aggregate of safety stock and EOQ.

Average inventory is economic order quantity divided by 2

Number of order is the ratio of annual demand to economic order quantity.
