that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries.
Each farmer in France can produce 10 metric tons of grain or 5 metric tons of dates in a season. Each farmer in Mali can also produce 10 metric tons of grain or 25 metric tons of dates. Please answer the four questions below.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?

Answer:

In France:

Farmer can produce = 10 metric tons of grain or 5 metric tons of dates in a season

In Mali:

Farmer can produce = 10 metric tons of grain or 25 metric tons of dates.

(1) Mali has the absolute advantage in producing dates because Mali produces more metric tons of dates than France from the same level resources.

(2) No country has an absolute advantage in producing grain because same amount of grain were produced by both the countries with the same level of resources.

(3) Opportunity cost of dates in France = \frac{10}{5}

                                                                 = 2 grain

Opportunity cost of dates in Mali = \frac{10}{25}

                                                       = 0.4 grain  

Therefore, Mali's opportunity cost of producing dates is lower than France, so Mali has a comparative advantage in producing dates.

(4) Opportunity cost of grain in France =  \frac{5}{10}

                                                                = 0.5 dates

Opportunity cost of grain in Mali = \frac{25}{10}

                                                      = 2.5 dates

Therefore, France's opportunity cost of producing grains is lower than Mali, so France has a comparative advantage in producing grains.

Randall's has 28,000 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $1 per share. The market value is $13 per share. The balanc
a_sh-v [17]

Answer: $38,200

Explanation:

There are 28,000 Outstanding shares with a $13 market value.

That means that in total they are valued at,

= 28,000 * 13

= $364,000

The firm announced a 15% dividend so we take 15% of the total amount.

= 15% * 364,000

= $54,600

$54,600 is the total amount they will pay as dividends.

Dividends are taken from the Retained Earnings meaning that the balance in Retained earnings is therefore,

= $92,800 - $54,600

= $38,200

$38,200 will be the balance in the retained earnings account after the dividend.
