Answer:

Iceland specializes in production of fish and Canada specializes in lumber.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of an economic decision is the cost of giving up the second-best alternative. Whoever has a relatively lower opportunity cost in the production of a product is said to be specializing in the production of that product.  

The opportunity cost for fish and lumber in Canada is 1F ≡ 1L, while it is 2F ≡ 1L for Iceland.  

This implies that Canada has a lower opportunity cost in the production of lumber as it has to give up one unit of fish while Iceland has to give up two units.  

Similarly, Iceland has a lower opportunity cost in the production of fish as it has to give up 0.5 units of lumber, while Canada has to give up one unit.

ahrayia [7]

Answer: context

Explanation:

The factor that has most likely influenced Downing's perception of Law is context.

Context refers to the situation for the occurence of a event. It's vital to look at the circumstances that were present at the time of the behavior of a person when attempting to understand the person's behavior.

Assuming both of them were part of team meetings where almost all member gave their own suggestions, then Law would not have drawn as much attention from Downing.

Aloha Bags, Inc. produces student book bags that sell for $20 each. For the coming year, management expects fixed costs to be $2
netineya [11]

Solution :

a). At the break even units, the total contribution margin = fixed expenses

  We know that : (Selling price - variable cost) x units sold = fixed expenses  

    i.e.  (20-14)x = 225,000

                  6x   = 225,000

                    x = 37,500

Therefore, the number of units sold, x = 37,500

So, the break even analysis = 37,500 x 20

                                              = 750,000

b). $\text{Contribution margin ratio} = \frac{\text{(Sales - variable cost) }}{\text{sales}}$

                                              $=\frac{20-14}{20}$

                                             = 30%

    The Breakeven sales = $\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{Contribution margin ratio}}$

                                         $=\frac{225,000}{30\%}$

                                         = 750,000

c). $\text{Margin of Safety ratio } = \frac{\text{(Sales - Breakeven sales)  }}{\text{sales}}$

                                        $=\frac{1,2000,000-750,000}{1,200,000}$

                                        = 37.5%

d). Units needed :

   $(20-14)x - 225,000 = 150,000$

    $6x - 225,000 = 150,000$

    $6x = 375000$

     x=62,500  units

Therefore, the sales required = 62,500 x 20

                                                 = 125,000
