Answer:
Inventory $200,000
Cash $50,000
Notes payable $150,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost of the inventory purchased = $200,000
Amount paid in cash = one-fourth
= one-fourth of $200,000
= $50,000
For the remaining balance signed a note i.e = $200,000 - $50,000
= $150,000
Now,
This transaction will be recorded as:
Inventory $200,000
Cash $50,000
Notes payable $150,000
Answer:
C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.
Explanation:
<em>Comparative advantage</em> is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.
For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per <em>Comparative Advantage</em> concept.
Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per <em>Comparative Advantage </em>model.
Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.
<em> In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory</em>.
It is to be noted that <em>Absolute Advantage model </em>of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the <em>Comparative Advantage Model </em>developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.

Answer:
$26,700 excess
Explanation:
The amount of deficiency or excess can be determined only when the ending cash balance is known. The ending cash balance is the addition of the net movement in cash to the opening cash balance.
The net movement is the difference between the total receipts and the total payments or disbursement.
Total receipts for January
= $1,061,200
Total payments
= $984,500
Net movement = $1,061,200 - $984,500
= $76,700
Ending balance = $290,000 + $76,700
= $366,700
If the minimum cash requirement is $340,000
The amount of the (deficiency)/excess cash (after considering the minimum cash balance required) for January
= $366,700 - $340,000
= $26,700
