Answer:

The answer is: A) Mary Jane has a comparative advantage in law so she should specialize in law and hire a carpenter to make her cabinets.

Explanation:

Mary Jane has a comparative advantage by working as a lawyer over working as a carpenter. As a lawyer she can earn $150 an hour.

Considering that Mary Jane is 3 times as fast as a good carpenter, her work as a carpenter could be valued as the combined work of three carpenters. But even three carpenters earn less than a lawyer; $60 an hour ($20 an hour per carpenter times 3 carpenters).

So Mary Jane definitely should work as a lawyer and hire a carpenter or even three carpenters to build her cabinets.

First​ Class, Inc., expects to sell 26 comma 000 pool cues for $ 13.00 each. Direct materials costs are $ 2.00​, direct manufact
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$231,140

Explanation:

The computation of the amount reported in the cost of goods sold is shown  below:

= Number of pool cues sold × total manufacturing cost per pool cue

where,

Number of pool cues sold would be 26,000 pool cues

And, the total manufacturing cost per pool cue would be

= Direct Materials per cue + Direct manufacturing Labor per cue + Manufacturing Overhead per cue

= $2 + $6 + $0.89

= $8.89

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= 26,000 cues × 8.89

= $231,140
