Answer:

Mexico export 1 unit of cloth and  import 2 unit of food

Explanation:

given data

Mexico’s cost producing 1 unit of food = 3 units of clothing

US cost producing 1 unit of food = 0.5 units of clothing

Trade  ratio = 1:1

to find out

How beneficial would it be for Mexico

solution

as given in question we know that Mexico opportunity cost of producing food is lower in the US

so here United States will produce food and Mexico will produce cloth

and trade ratio is 1:1 so that  Mexico has export 1 unit of cloth and can import 1 unit of food

and

Mexico export 1 unit of cloth and  import 2 unit of food

Readme [11.4K]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

a) The deficit is structural deficit, not cyclical deficit

b) Structural deficit is $450 billion

Revenue less than outlays; the GDP = Potential GDP

cyclical - during a recession , Structural - normal times

This is the budget deficit at potential GDP

Structural deficit = Total Government deficit - Cyclical Deficit

Government expenditures do not change with output

c) the deficit is both structural and cyclical

200 billion below potential; at potential output it will be 200 billion higher

Cyclical deficit = $200 billion

Structural = 450 - 200 = 250

d) Cyclical surplus = $350 billion

Structural deficit = $100 billion

e) Structural as normal stabilization policies will not remove a structural deficit

Alicia heard that as a general rule, she should spend no more than one week's pay on rent. If Alicia's pay is $35,256 per year,
Nastasia [14]
If Alicia pay per year is $35,256 and there are twelve months in a year, then her monthly salary is $35,256/12 = 2,938.
This means that Alicia earns $2, 938 each month. 
Conventionally, there are four weeks in a month, thus, Alicia earns $2,938/4 = 734.50. This means that, Alicia earns $734. 50 each week and this is the amount that Alicia is expected to spend on rent on a monthly basis.

1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate for the year, assuming that the company assigns overhead based on 125,000 budgeted d
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a. $17.44 per hour

b. $43,600 ; $104,640

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Single plantwide overhead rate equals to

= Total Overhead Amount ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor Hours

where,

Total overhead amount is

= $625,000 + $900,000 + $105,000 + $175,000 + $300,000 + $75,000

= $2,180,000

And, the budgeted direct labor hours is 125,000

So, the overhead rate is

= $2,180,000 ÷ 125,000

= $17.44 per hour

2. Now the overhead cost is

For Deluxe model

= 2,500 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $43,600

For basic model

= 6,000 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $104,640

tell him to put less information with more details.

Instead of putting large amounts of small information in a cover letter, he should be putting small amounts of information with smaller details, a cover letter is explaining you and your backround better to the employers to see if you're what they want, and to get to know your backround better. If Seymour puts his little important details of information he will have a better chance at impressing the employers.
