Answer:

Norway

Explanation:

UK and Norway are producing two goods: Oil and shoes

UK's opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oil = 2 pairs of shoes

Norway's opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oil = 1/2 pair of shoes

Therefore,

Once trade is allowed among the trading nations, then a nation is exporting a commodity in which it has a comparative advantage and importing a commodity in which it has a comparative disadvantage.

Norway has a comparative advantage in producing oil because it has a lower opportunity of producing oil as compared to UK.

Hence,

Norway should produce oil.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, a proper indorsement of the check would be to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones. That is because a check needs to be as specific as possible and cannot have various options. The check needs to be made to a single specific individual and if it is for more than one individual then both need to be included as a requirement (and). Making it so that both recipients must cash the check together for it to be accepted.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: -0.5

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the price elasticity of demand will be calculated as follows:

= dQ/dP × P/Q

where,

dQ/dP = -1

P = 100

Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer

Q = 200 - 100 + 25(8) - 50(2)

Q = 200 - 100 + 200 - 100

Q = 200

Therefore, dQ/dP × P/Q

= -1 × (100/200)

= -1 × 1/2

= -1 × 0.5

= -0.5

The price elasticity of demand is -0.5.

garri49 [273]

Cash budget for Pasadena Candle Inc.

August               $40,000             $16,000

September        $36,000             $38,400

Calculations:

Month ending payment in September = 60 % x August purchases + 40 % x September purchases  = 0.60 x $ 40,000 + 0.40 x $ 36,000

 = $ 24,000 + $ 14,400 = $ 38,400

Alles Company uses a job costing system that applies factory overhead on the basis of direct labor dollars. No job was in proces
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(a)

For Job G15:

Direct labor = $20,000

Overhead applied = 16,000

Overhead rate = \frac{16,000}{20,000}\times 100

                         = 0.8 × 100

                         = 80%

Overhead applied = Direct labor × 80%

                         = $20,000 × 80%

                         = $16,000

Overhead is applied on direct labor. Hence, rate is 80%.

Overhead for Job B10 = Direct labor × 80%

                                     = $54,000  × 80%

                                     = $43,200

Therefore,

Total overhead applied = $43,200 + 45,750 + 16,000

                                        = $104,950

(b) Hence,

Overapplied overhead for February:

= Total overhead applied - Actual Overhead

= $104,950 - $68,500

= $36,450
