Answer:

Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 5 kg of steak.

Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.2 kg of potatoes.

Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 3 kg of steak.

Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.33 kg of potatoes.

Casey should produce steak while Rick should produce potatoes, since Rick has a comparative advantage in producing potatoes (lower opportunity cost) and Casey has a comparative advantage in producing steak.

As long as the price of steak per kilogram of potatoes is less than 5 kg of steak and more than 3 kg of steak, then both would win. In order for both of them to win is a similarly proportional way, the exchange price should be 4 kg of steak per kg of potatoes.

On August 1, 2020, Ascent Corp. borrowed $80,000 cash on an 8-month note payable with a 7% annual rate that requires Ascent to p
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Interest payable:

= Borrowed amount × rate of interest × given months ÷ total months

= $80,000 × 7% × 5 ÷ 12

= $2,333.33

And,

Interest expense:

= Borrowed amount × rate of interest × given months ÷ total months

= $80,000 × 7% × 3 ÷ 12

= $1,400

So here for recording the payment of interest the interest payable is debited for $2,333.33

The same is to be considered

REY [17]

b. $2,500, $3,500

Explanation:

Amount collected in advance will be recognized as a liability until the revenue is earned. Entries are posted between the cash account and deferred revenue account on collection of cash.

Given that he company collected $6,000 in advance payments from customers for 12-month gym memberships on June 1, 2018.

Credit Unearned revenue $6,000

After 7 months ( between 1 June and 31 December 2018),

Revenue earned = 7/12 × $6,000 = $3,500

On December 31, 2018,

Debit Unearned revenue          $3,500

Credit Membership  Revenue   $3,500

Balance in unearned revenue accounts = $6,000 - $3,500 = $2,500

Balance in Membership revenue = $3,500

Byrd Company decided to analyze certain costs for June of the current year. Units started into production equaled 14,000 and end
Molodets [167]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Units Started into the production = 14,000 Units

Ending work in process = 2,000 units

Transferred Units = Units in the starting - Ending work in process

                              = 14,000 units - 2,000 Units

                              = 12,000 Units

Equivalent units = Transferred units + Ending work in process in units × % of Completion

                            = 12,000 Units + 2,000 Units × 25% complete

                           = 12,000 + 2,000 × 0.25

                           = 12,000 units + 500 units

                            = 12,500 units

Total Conversion cost = $52,500

Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{Total\ Conversion\ cost}{Equivalent\ Units}

Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{52,500}{12,500}                                                          

                                                                        = $4.2
