Answer:

C. optimal capital labor ratio remains the same

Explanation:

One pilot for each plane implies A = B

Let cost be C

So, isocost line is xA + rB = C

So, xA + yA = C (as L = K)

So, (x+y)A = C

So, A = C/(x+y) =B

Optimal capital labor ratio = B/A = 1 as B =A

Now, wage rate increases to x'

So, isocost line is x'A + yB = C

So, x'A + yA = C (as A = B)

So, (x'+y)A = C

So, A = C/(x'+y) = B

New optimal capital labor ratio =B/A = 1 as B = A

Thus, optimal capital labor ratio remains same because capital (planes) and labor (pilots) are used in fixed proportion.

Thus the answer is

C. optimal capital labor ratio remains the same

Hale Company sells merchandise on account for $1,000 to Long Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Long Company returns $200
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784

Explanation:

given data

Merchandise on account = $1,000

Long Company returns  = $200

credit terms =  2/10

n/30

to find out

What is the amount of the check

solution

we know here that Total Merchandise will be

Total Merchandise = Merchandise on account  - returns   ....................1

Total Merchandise = $1000 - $200

Total Merchandise = $800

and

discount will be here

Discount = 0.02  ×  800

returns = $16

so

Amount of Check will be as

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount   ...................2

put here value

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount  

Amount of Check = $800 - $16

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784

Assume US GAAP to answer this question. In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid. In 2018, $8 millio
kari74 [83]

Answer: a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018

Explanation:

In 2018, $9 million was used to settle the wage debt of 2017 and the remainder was used to settle the wages in 2018.

The money remaining in cash after the wage settlement was:

= 9,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 8,000,000

= -$1,000,000

This means that $1,000,000 of wages was not settled in 2018 which means that this would have to go to the Wages Payable account to signify that the company owes wages.

This account is a liability account so liabilities in 2018 would increase by $1,000,000.

The world trade organization envolved from which of the following?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

You might want to tape "evolve" in this case the answer is the GATT

Explanation:

The World Trade Organization's predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), was established after World War II in the wake of other new multilateral institutions dedicated to international economic cooperation – notably the Bretton Woods institutions known as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. A comparable international institution for trade, named the International Trade Organization was successfully negotiated.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an intergovernmental organization which regulates international trade. The WTO officially commenced on 1 January 1995 under the Marrakesh Agreement, signed by 123 nations on 15 April 1994, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which commenced in 1948. The WTO deals with regulation of trade between participating countries by providing a framework for negotiating trade agreements and a dispute resolution process aimed at enforcing participants' adherence to WTO agreements, which is signed by representatives of member governments and ratified by their parliaments.
