A fair value option is the alternative  for a business to record its financial instruments at the fair values. Liabilities are company's financial debts or obligations that arise in the course of business operations. They may be long term or short term. In this case, if the fair value of the liability decreases, the firm should respond by crediting the unrealized Holding Gain/loss in the income account.

Alabama and Mississippi each have 9 units of labor. They can use their units of labor for the production of chickens and cotton.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

As it is given that

1. For each unit of labor, Alabama will generate 3 units of chicken.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 27 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

2. With every unit of labor, Alabama will generate 7 units of cotton.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 63 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor,  Mississippi will generate 4 units of chicken.

Therefore Mississippi can produce a maximum of 36 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor, Mississippi will produce 6 units of cotton.

While Mississippi can produce up to 54 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

Alabama could be seen producing more cotton than Mississippi using all the labor while using all the labor Mississippi can produce more chicken than Alabama.

Hence,

For producing chicken, Mississippi has the absolute advantage

For producing cotton,  Alabama has the absolute advantage

Now

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (7 ÷ 3)

= 2.33 units of cotton.

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a cotton unit is

= (3 ÷ 7)

= 0.43 units of chicken.

Mississippi's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (6 ÷ 4)

= 1.50 units of cotton.

Mississippi's opportunity cost of generating a cotton unit is

=  (4 ÷ 6)

=  0.67 units of chicken

Therefore

Alabama can produce cotton relatively to Mississippi at a  lower cost of opportunity.

In comparison with Alabama, Mississippi can produce chicken at lower opportunity costs.

Hence, we can conclude that

Mississippi has a competitive advantage for chicken production.

Alabama has a competitive advantage in cotton production.

Mississippi is supposed to grow chicken and Alabama is supposed to make cotton.
