Answer:
Bellisima's opportunity cost:
Production of rye per million hours of labor = 24 / 12 = 2 pairs of jeans
Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 12 / 24 = 0.5 bushels of rye
Dolorium's opportunity cost:
Production of rye per million hours of labor = 32 / 8 = 4 pairs of jeans
Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 8 / 32 = 0.25 bushels of rye
Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
If both countries specialize:
Bellisima will produce 48 million bushels of rye.
Dolorium will produce 128 million pairs of jeans.
Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.
Total production of jeans has increased by 24 million pairs.
Answer:
we will save 500,000 dollars worth of inventory.
Explanation:
If sales are 4,000,000 then the expected inventory will be 1,000,000
Giving an inventory turnover of:
4,000,000 / 1,000,000 = 4
IF we double the inventory turnover then:
4,000,000/inventory = 8
So the inventory will be of: 4,000,000/8 = 500,000
the difference is for 500,000
Answer:
the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is given below:
= Cost of the human resource × machining department ÷ (machining department + assembly department)
= $1,200,000 × 100 ÷ (100 + 150)
= $480,000
hence, the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
Answer: The deficit is lower when compared to 2010.
Explanation:
The United States Budget for 2010 titled "A New Era of Responsibility: Renewing America's Promise by President Barack Obama's budget in 2010 was $3.456 trillion for expenditure and total revenue was $2.163 which led to a budget deficit of $1.294 trillion.
In 2019, the revenue was $3.422 and expenditure was $4.407 which led to a budget deficit was $985. It can be deduced that there has been a reduction in the budget deficit when compared to 2010.
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Alternatives for a person if he do not attend his neighbor's barbecue:
(1) Watch television with some friends = he value this at $17
(2) Read a good novel = he value this at $14
(3) Go in to work = he could earn $16 during the barbecue
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of going to his neighbor's barbecue is the enjoyment he get from watching television with some friends because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.
