Answer:

The theory of comparative advantage says that nations should yield and trade only those merchandises in which they have a reasonable advantage i.e. which they are specialize in.

To compute the comparative advantage of two nations A and B, let us first compute the opportunity cost of making movies and vehicles in each.

Country A:

Opportunity cost of making 1 automobile = 2 movies

Opportunity cost of making 1 movie = 1/2 automobile

Country B:

Opportunity cost of making 1 automobile = 8/5 movies

Opportunity cost of making 1 movie= 5/8 automobile

Since the prospect cost of making an automobile is lesser in Country B and the prospect cost of making movies is lesser in country A, thus Country A would make movies and country B would make automobiles.

Answer:

Interest Expense $6,446,360

Interest Payable $7,000,000

Explanation:

Interest Expense for the year =

Issued amount * Effective interest rate * \frac{Remaining months in the year}{Total months in the year}

$644,636,000 * 0.06 * 2/12 = $6,446,360

Interest Payable =

Face Value of the bond * Interest rate * \frac{Remaining months in the year}{Total months in the year}

$600,000,000 * 0.07 * 2/12 = 7,000,000

Last year Rocco Corporation's sales were $225 million. If sales grow at 6% per year, how large (in millions) will they be 5 year
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

b. $301.10

Explanation:

Current Sales = P = $225,000,000

Growth rate = g = 6%

Number of year = 5 years

Using simple growth formula we will find the Sales value after 5 years.

Future Sales = Current Sale ( 1 + growth rate )^Number of years

A = P ( 1 + g )^n

A = 225,000,000 x ( 1 + 0.06 )^5

A = 225,000,000 x 1.33823

A = 301,101,750 = 301.10175 Million

So, the correct option is b. $301.10.

Answer:

Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool)       Cost

Supervision                                                             $2,160

Depreciation of machinery                                  $28,840

Assembly line preparation                                  <u> $23,000</u>

Total overhead                                                     $54,000

Supervision

Direct labor cost ($) $6,200 $11,800 $18,000

Depreciation of machinery

Machine hours 400 hours 800 hours 1,200 hours

Assembly line preparation Setups (number)

32 times 93 times 125 times

1)

overhead costs assigned to Rounded Edge

supervision = $2,160 x ($6,200 / $18,000) = $744

depreciation = $28,840 x (400 / 1,200) = $9,613

assembly line preparation = $23,000 x (32/125) = $5,888

total overhead costs = $16,245

overhead costs assigned to Squared Edge

total overhead costs = $54,000 - $16,245 = $37,755

2)

total costs assigned to Rounded Edge

materials $9,500

direct labor $6,200

overhead $16,245

total $31,945

cost per foot = $31,945 / 10,500 = $3.0424 per foot

total costs assigned to Squared Edge

materials $21,600

direct labor $11,800

overhead $37,755

total $71,155

cost per foot = $71,155 / 14,000 = $5.0825 per foot

3)   The average cost per foot of Rounded Edge decreased because lower overhead costs were allocated to their production.  

The average cost per foot of Squared Edge increased because higher overhead costs were allocated to their production.

Which of the following is a PRE-READING activity designed to help build reading comprehension
kondaur [170]
I think the correct answer would be the second option. Paraphrasing the ideas within a document is an activity that would help building reading comprehension. Paraphrasing ideas would require one to understand the context of the sentence so that you can write it in your own way so in a way it helps comprehension.<span />

umka21 [38]

Answer:

County Medical Center

These unrestricted contributions of $22,000 used to support general services would be reported on the statement of cash flows as:

cash from operating activities.

Explanation:

Unrestricted contributions received by the County Medical Center are funds or other assets given to the Center with no restriction on their use.  Unrestricted contributions are usually directed at the funding of operational expenses, as the County Medical Center demonstrated.  Therefore, they are listed under operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows.
