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

On january 1, a company issued and sold a $460,000, 3%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $456,000. interest is pay
Bad White [126]

To find the carrying value of the bonds after the first interest payments, we need to do the calculations to find the interest ..

Calculation of Interest:-

Cash interest payment of $ 6,900 ( 1.5% x $ 460,000) at the end of each semiannual period during the bonds life of 10 years… ( 3% / 2 = 1.5%)

That is $ 6,900 is paid for every six months say from Jan 30th to June 30 and June 30 to Dec 31……

So, every year we will pay $ 13,800 ( $ 6,900 + $ 6,900 ) for 20 periods ( two payments are made for every year, so for 10 years , we need to make the interest payment for 20 periods…)

Now lets amortize a bond discount.. (Amortizing is nothing but paying back

Straight Line Method… This method allocates an equal portion of the total bond interest expense to each interest period .

We divide the total bond interest expense of $ 142,000 by 20

This gives the interest expense of $ 7,100 per period. ( $ 6,900 interest + $ 200 Discount)

Interest Computation

Amount repaid to bondholders

20 interest payments of $ 6,900 = $ 138,000

Par value at maturity =$ 460,000

_________

Total repaid to bondholders = $ 598,000

Less:- Amount borrowed from bondholders = $ 456,000

__________

Total bond interest expenses = $ 142,000

__________

The following table shows the decrease in Discount on bonds payable account and the increase in the bonds carrying value ( Straight line method)

This is the summarization of Discount bond Straight Line amortization..

Semiannual period –end Unammortized Discount Carrying Value

(0) 1 / 30 $ 4,000 $ 456,00

(1) 6 / 30 $ 3,800 $ 456,200

(4,000 -200) ( 456,00+200)

The carrying value of the bonds after the first interest payment is $ 456,200

Winston Company’s high and low level of activity last year was 60,000 units produced in April and 20,000 units produced in Decem
horsena [70]

Answer:

Total cost= $36,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Winston Company’s high and low level of activity last year was 60,000 units produced in April and 20,000 units produced in December. Machine maintenance costs were $52,000 in April and $20,000 in December.

<u>To calculate the total cost, first, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost. With the unitary variable cost, we can calculate the fixed costs. Then, the total cost at 40,000 units.</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (52,000 - 20,000) / (60,000 - 20,000)= $0.8 per unit

Now, we calculate the fixed costs:

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 52,000 - (0.8*60,000)= $4,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 20,000 - (0.8*20,000)= $4,000

Total cost= 4,000 + 0.8*units

Total cost= 4,000 + 0.8*40,000= $36,000

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

The sellers in the perfectly competitive market become price takers as they have to sell under the price decided in the market through supply and demand.

This is mainly because there is no way to differentiate the product to change the price. Since all goods are identical, one good is a perfect substitute for another.
