Answer:

The exchange rate implies in exchange rate of $1.75 but current market exchange rate is $1.80 which means that the dollar is undervalued and pound is over valued in the market.

We will buy Dollar in the market and use these dollars to buy gold and then sell this gold in Euros

E.G Buy a $1000 from the market for £555(10,000*1/1.8)

After that we can by 28.5(1000/35) ounces of gold from that and sell the gold for £571(20*28.5). This way we make a profit of £16 (571-555) without taking any risk.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

a) Complete the following table with the number of workers needed to make one car or 1 ton of grain in the United States and Japan.

                                    1 Car                           1 Ton of Grain

United States             1/5                                   1/9

Japan                          1/3                                   1/9

b) Complete the following table by determining the opportunity cost of a car and of a ton of grain for both the United States and Japan.

                                     1 Car                           1 Ton of Grain

                      (tons of grain given up)         (cars given up)

United States             9/5                                   5/9

Japan                           3                                      1/3

c) Complete the following table with the quantities of cars produced and consumed in each country if there is no trade.

                                Cars Produced        Tons of Grain Produced

                                and Consumed        and Consumed

United States            250 million               450 million

Japan                        150 million                450 million

d) Both countries would be better off if they produced the good in which they have a comparative advantage and then traded 400 million tons of grain for 200 million cars.

a. True

IF each country specialized in the production of only one good:

  • US would produce 500 million cars
  • Japan would produce 900 million tons of grain

If they traded, the US would end up with 300 million cars and 400 million tons of grains, while Japan would have 200 million cars and 500 million tons of grains. So they both win.

A company currently makes a component used in production. The per unit costs incurred to make the component include: Direct mate
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.

Explanation:

To solve this we would have to calculate the cost of making each unit of the component.

= Direct Labour + Direct Material + Overhead*

25% of Overhead is said to be Incremental. Overhead is 4. This means that 25% of 4 is the Marginal Cost of production. i.e, the cost per unit.

= 25% * 4

= (25/100) x 4

= 1

We would charge $1 per unit to overhead costs.

Therefore, the cost of making each unit of component

= $5 + $2 + $1 = $8

Since the cost of purchasing each unit of component is $10. Then the company has to produce the component because it is less with a difference of $2.

$10 - $8 = $2
