Absolute v. comparative advantage activity this chart shows how many units of tractors and cotton workers can produce in the uni

goldenfox [79]

Answer: a). Spain

b). none

c). 2.4

Explanation: a). Absolute advantage occurs when a country produces more of a good than the other country. In this case, Spain produces 50 units of Tractors while, Bolivia produces only 30 units of Tractors. Thus, Since Spain is producing more it has an absolute advantage in Tractors.

b). Both the countries are producing equal units of Cotton. Thus, we can say that none of them has an absolute advantage in cotton production.

c. Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. When Spain produces Tractors it is sacrificing production of Cotton. So, opportunity cost on 1 unit of Tractor will be,

$Opportunity cost = \frac{120}{50} =2.4$

Thus, 2.4 units of cotton which is given up is the opportunity cost of Spain for producing 1 unit of Tractor.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The required journals are:

Debit Bad debt expense $10,070

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $10,070

<em>(To record bad debt for the year)</em>

Explanation:

To understand the effects of the transactions, we need to journalize as follows:

Debit Accounts receivable $454,000

Credit Sales revenue $454,000

<em>(To record sales transaction on account)</em>

Debit Cash $325,000

Credit Accounts receivable $325,000

<em>(To record collections on account)</em>

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $5,600

Credit Accounts receivable $5,600

<em>(To record write-off of accounts receivable)</em>

With the above journals, the balance in accounts receivable will be: $20,000 + $454,000 - $325,000 - $5,600 = $143,400. The 5% of $143,400 will be $7,170.

The effect of the write-off was to throw the unadjusted allowance for doubtful account into debit as $2,700 - $5,600 = $2,900. The required bad debt expense will $10,070 ($7,170 + $2,900).
