Answer:
1) country A has a comparative advantage in production of capital goods.
2) for country A 24 units of food can be traded for 10 units of capital goods,
for country B 30 units of food can be traded for 10 units of capital goods.
Explanation:
country A has a comparative advantage in production of capital goods because they have been able to produce more capital goods with the same amount of input (worker) than country B.
For country A, 120 units of food = 50 units of capital goods, therefore
10 units of capital good will be traded for (120 x 10)/50 = 24 units of food.
for country B 90 units of food is equivalent to 30 units of capital goods, therefore,
(90 x 10)/30 = 30 units of food
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Jasper Company
Income Statement
Sales (280000 x $12) $3360000
<u>Less: Cost of goods sold</u>
Add: Direct Material $180000
Add: Direct Labor $505000
Add: Manufacturing Overhead <u>$110000</u>
Cost of goods sold <u>($795000)</u>
Gross Profit $ 2565000
<u>Less: Expenses</u>
Selling expense $437000
Administrative expense <u>$854000</u>
Total expenses <u>($1291000)</u>
Net income <u> $1274000</u>
Percentage of sales for each line item
Sales = 100%
Cost of goods sold: 
x 100= 23.7%
Selling expense : 
x 100 = 13%
Administrative expense: 
x 100 = 25.4 %
2. According to the income statement in requirement 1, the manager can control cost by outsourcing the product if it is cheaper to get it from a third party in order to cut/control cost of goods sold.
Manager can also try controlling the administrative expenses as they are taking a bigger proportion than any other cost/ expense.

Answer:
The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere
Explanation:
Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.
So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.
Answer:
a. is always the middle value of replacement cost, net realizable value, and net realizable value less a normal profit margin.
Explanation:
As we know that inventory will be recorded at cost or market value whichever is lower. But in the given case, the replacement cost would be recorded at higher values and lesser values. Higher values represent the Net realizable value whereas the lesser values represent the net realizable value less than the normal profit margin.
And if the replacement cost lies in this range than it represents the designated market value.
Hence, option a is correct.
