Answer:

Freecia has a comparative advantage in producing memory chips

Explanation:

Comparative advantage occurs when a company has an advantage over the other through the production of certain goods at a cheaper rate.

Looking at the given example , let us assume that the cost of producing a bushel of rice is $10 and memory chips is $10

Warmia produces two bushels of rice at $70 and a memory chip at $70(ratio 2:1) 1/3*70= 23.3

Freecia produces five bushels of rice at $70 and two memory chips at $7

(Ratio 5:2). 2/7*70=14

We can see that the cost of producing memory chips is cheaper fo Freecia

If Good C increases in price by 30% a pound, and this causes the quantity demanded for Good D to increase by 40%, what is the cr
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1.3

Explanation:

Given:

If Good C increases in price by 30% a pound.

This causes the quantity demanded for Good D to increase by 40%.

Question asked:

What is the cross-price elasticity of the two goods ?

Solution:

We can find the cross-price elasticity of the two goods by this formula:

E_{c}  = \frac{ Percent\  change\ in \a \ quantity \ of \ good \ D}{Percent \ change\  in\ the\  price\  of \ good\  C}

E_{c}  = \frac{40}{30}= 1.3

When Good C increases in price by 30% which causes the quantity demanded for Good D to increase by 40%, then the cross-price elasticity of the  is Good C and  Good D is 1.3.

Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 7.4% with semiannual payments of
frutty [35]

Answer:

Current yield is 6.17%

<em>YTD is 5.43%</em>

<em>YTC is 4.26%</em>

Explanation:

Tenor: 15 years

-> number of payment (NPer) is 30 (= 15 years * 2 for semiannual)

Coupon rate: 7.4%

- > semiannual payments (PMT): $37 = ($1000*7.4%/2)

Future value (FV): $1000

Present value (PV): $1200

Current yield = annual coupon/ current price = $37*2/$1200 = 6.17%

<u>Extra: </u>

We use excel to calculate  yield to date (YTD) or nominal yield:

= Rate(Nper, PMT, - PV,FV) = Rate(30,37,-1200,1000) = 2.717% semiannual

-> annual rate is 5.43%

The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,074, then FV is $1074

Yield to call = rate(10,37,-1200,1074) = 2.13% semiannual

-> annual rate is 4.26%

Darya [45]

Answer:

Overhead rate for ordering and receiving = $300 per order.

Explanation:

Given Activity costs and activity drivers

Activity                                          Overhead Cost            Driver Activity

Ordering & Receiving Order           $150,000                     500 orders

Machine Setup                                  $324,000                    450 setups

Machining                                          $1,587,500                   125,000 MH

Assembly Parts                                 $1,260,000                   1,000,000 parts

Inspection                                           $330,000                        500 inspections

Under activity based costing the rates are based on the nature of activity and the rates are based on number of those activities per driver. As for ordering and receiving there are total of 500 orders and total cost = $150,000 that is cost per order will be computed.

Overhead rate for ordering and receiving = $150,000/500 orders = $300 per order.
