How do comparative advantage and absolute advantage differ?

1 answer:

3 0

Absolute advantage is the ability to produce a good using fewer inputs than another producer, while comparative advantage is the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer (reflecting the relative opportunity cost). One key difference is that one person can have an absolute advantage in both goods, but it is impossible for one person to have a comparative advantage in both goods due to the opportunity cost of a product being the inverse of the opportunity cost of the other.

JL.53 Bob's Bumpers has a repetitive manufacturing facility in Kentucky that makes automobile bumpers and other auto body parts.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Annual demand = 75000 = D

S = ordering cost/set up cost = $53

d = daily demand = 75000/250 = 300

h = holding cost per unit per year = $25

p = Daily production rate = 320

optimal size of the production run =EPQ = sqrt((2*D*S)/(h*(1-(d/p))))

= sqrt((2*75000*53)/(25*(1-(300/320))))

= 2255.659549 = 2255.66 (Rounded to 2 decimal places)

maximum inventory = EPQ*(1 - (d/p))

= 2255.66*(1 - (300/320))

= 140.97875

Avergae inventory = 140.97875/2 = 70.49

Number of production runs = Annual demand/EPQ = 75000/2255.66 = 33.25

Holding cost with EPQ = 2255.66 = 70.49*25 = 1762.25

With EPQ = 500, maximum inventory = 500*(1 - (300/320)) = 31.25

Holding cost with EPQ = 500, holding cost (31.25/2)*25 = 390.625

Savings = 1762.25 - 390.625 = 1371.625

Alika [10]

Answer: See attachment and explanation.

Explanation:

a. Determine the components of pension expense that the company would recognize in 2017.

Service cost = $52,000

Add: Interest on projected benefit obligation = $380,000 × 10% = $38,000
