Answer:

Thailand:

Opportunity cost of computers = 300/20 = 15 tons of rice

US:

Opportunity cost of computers = 800/100 = 8 tons of rice

US has a comparative advantage in production of computers

Absence of trade:

Thailand consumes 150 tons of rice, it can consume = (300 - 150)/30 x 2 = 10 computers

US consumes 50 computers, it can consume = 400 tons of rice

After trade :

10 computers exchanged for 120 tons of rice

Thailand continues to consume 150 tons of rice, it will consume = 12 computers (=10 + 30/15)

US continues to consume 50 computers, it will consume = 440 tons of rice (=120 + 40 x 8)

Both would accept the proposal as both are better off with trade

Assume the lunch plate industry in Oahu, a perfectly competitive industry, is in long-run equilibrium with a market price of $5.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lunch plate industry in Oahu is a perfectly competitive industry.  

This industry is also a decreasing cost industry. A decreasing cost industry can be defined as the type of industry where an increase in the number of firms in the industry causes the average production cost to decline.  

The industry is currently in long-run equilibrium and has the price level at $5.

As the demand increases, the price level will initially increase. But this increase in the price will cause the profits to increase and thus attract potential firms to join the market.  

As the number of firms increases the average cost of production will decrease. As a result, the supply in the market will increase more than the demand.  

So the long-run equilibrium will be reestablished at a lower price than earlier.

In what ways do corporations grow?
stepan [7]
Develop new products. Innovative companies understand that in order to grow, they must continue to develop new products and services. "No executive today is unaware of the strategic need for winning new products," writes Robert G. Cooper in his book, Product Leadership: Creating and Launching Superior New Products. "And so the pressure is on virtually every leadership team to deliver great new products. The new corporate motto is 'innovate or die.'" 

Learn how to delegate. "As organizations grow increasingly complex, duties and responsibilities across the workforce can become less well defined," writes Robert Heller in How to Delegate. "Often it seems as though everyone is doing everyone else's job. Delegation is the manager's key to efficiency, and benefits all." In other words, in order to scale the business, a CEO needs to learn how to delegate so he or she can focus on the company's bigger picture issues.

Southwick Products manufactures its products in two separate​ departments: Machining and Assembly. Total manufacturing overhead
solong [7]

Answer:

a. 105

b. For machining $130

For assembly $50

Explanation:

a. The computation of the company's current plant-wide overhead rate is shown below:-

Current plant-wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead  ÷ Total direct labor hours

= $1,050,000 ÷ 10,000

= 105

b. The computation of refined departmental overhead rates is shown below:-

Departmental overhead cost = Overhead cost of department ÷ Cost driver of department

For machining  

= $650,000 ÷ 5,000

= $130

For Assembly

= $400,000 ÷ 8,000

= $50
