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

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Sheridan Company

The correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report is:

= $367,100

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

December 31 Inventory based on physical inventory =      $320,800

Goods held on consignment by Herschel =                            46,300

December 27, FOB destination goods ($22,000)                   0

Correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report $367,100

b) Goods on consignment are generally the property of the consignor (supplier) and not the consignee's (retailer's).  Therefore, they must appear in the balance sheet of the consignor.  Goods on FOB destination remain the property of the supplier until they reach the buyer's destination.  This is why it is not included above.

Therefore, there is a scarcity of resources in the form of milk.
