Answer:

Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.

The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.

Ex : Production Possibilities

                   Wine            Sweater    Trade off (Wine :Sweater)

France          10                   5              1:0.5  or 2:1

Tunisia          8                   24              1:3  or 0.33:1

  • France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia  [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
  • Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine <  2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

the effective annual rate for Freda is 12.70%

Explanation:

<u>Freda investment</u>

500 shares x $ 35 each x 70% margin = 12,250

<u>Financing taken:</u>

500 shares x $ 35 each x 30% = 5,250

<u>Payment of the loan:</u>

principal x (1 + rate x time)

5,520 x ( 1 + (0.0475 + 0.02) x 8/12) = 5,483.67

<u>Holding return:</u>

\frac{return}{cost} -1

(500 shares x 37.5 - 5,483.67)/12,250   - 1   = 0.0830

Then we calcualte the annual equivalent rate to the holding return:

(1+ r_e)^{8/12} = 1.0830

r_e = 1.0830^{12/8} -1

effective rate = 12.70 percent

Bohemian Manufacturing Company has the following end-of-year balance sheet:
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

<h2>Bohemian Manufacturing Company</h2>

1. Increase in Assets:

d. $540,00

2. Spontaneous Liabilities:

d. $72,000

3. Given the preceding information, Bohemian Manufacturing Company is expected to generate__$318,458 income from operations that will be added to retained earnings from the total net income of $513,000 ($450,000 x 1.18).

4. According to the AFN equation and projections for Bohemian Manufacturing Company, the firm's AFN is $__149,542__.

Explanation:

Solution

1. Additional Funds Needed = Increase in Assets − Increase in Liabilities – Increase in Retained Earnings, according to xplaind.com.

a) Increase in Assets

= Assets × sales growth rate

= $3,000,000 × 18%

= $540,000

Spontaneous Increase in Liabilities

= Liabilities × sales growth rate

= $400,000 × 18%

= $72,000

Increase in Retained Earnings

= Current sales × profit margin × retention rate

= Current sales × (1 + sales growth rate) × profit margin × retention rate

= $13,000,000 × (1 + 18%) × 3.46% × 60% = $318,458

Additional Funds Needed

= $540,000 - $72,000 - $318,458

= $149,542

2. Data:

Bohemian Manufacturing Company

Balance Sheet

For the Year Ended on December 31

Assets Liabilities

Current Assets:                                   Current Liabilities:

Cash and equivalents $150,000      Accounts payable            $250,000

Accounts receivable     400,000      Accrued liabilities               150,000

Inventories                    350,000      Notes payable                    100,000

Total Current Assets $900,000       Total Current Liabilities $500,000

Net Fixed Assets:                               Long-Term Bonds         1,000,000

Net plant & equipment $2,100,000 Total Debt                    $1,500,000

                                                           Common Equity

                                                           Common stock               800,000

                                                           Retained earnings          700,000

                                                         Total Common Equity $1,500,000

Total Assets         $3,000,000   Total Liabilities & Equity $3,000,000

3. Current profit margin = Net Income/Sales x 100 = $450,000/$13,000,000 x 100 = 3.46%

4. Retention Rate = (1 - dividend payout ratio) = (1 - 40%) = 60%

5. AFN = Additional Funds Needed.  AFN is the financial resources obtained from external sources to finance the increase in assets which supports the increased sales level.  Note that "Bohemian Manufacturing Company's assets are fully utilized," so we do not envisage the acquisition of more fixed assets.  In view of this, the liabilities that are expected to increase are only the Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, two vital sources of supply chain funding.
