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.

  • Payback period of investment- In case of capital budgeting, it refers to the amount of time taken place to recover the amount or cost of investment.
  • Initial cost of investment = Amount invested – Value of salvage sold

                                                 = $ 220000 – 10000

                                                 = $ 210,000

  • Annual Cash inflow = Contribution margin = $ 52500

  • Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual cash inflow

                                     =$210000 / 52500

                                     = 4.0 years

Paul [167]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Only B appears plausible.

Higher debt means higher interest costs, which would lead to lower net income.

ROA = Net Income / Assets and ROE = Net Income / Equity

Now, assets are same, equity is different. Equity for HD will be lower while that for LD would be higher. Hence, predicting ROE is difficult as we don't know equity but ROA is a bit easier.
