Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage refers to the situation where a country or individual can produce at a relatively lower cost or using fewer inputs.

Comparative advantage refers to the situation where a nation or an individual can produce a good at a relatively lower opportunity cost.

Country X takes fewer labor-hours to produce lumber than country X while country Y can produce cars more efficiently.  

This implies that country X has a comparative advantage in producing lumber and country Y has a comparative advantage in producing cars.  

So country Y will import lumber from country X and export cars to them.

Weekly demand figures at Hot Pizza are as follows:
garri49 [273]

Answer:

MAD:  10.04,  11.53

MAPSE: 10% ,  12%

MSE : 146.33,  178.72

Bias : -0.56 , -0.96

3-week moving average method is better

Explanation:

i ) Evaluate MAD ( average of absolute errors )

using  3 week moving average

= 10.04

using simple exponential smoothing

= 11.53

ii) MAPSE ( average of absolute percentage error )

using 3 week moving average

= 10%

using simple exponential smoothing

= 12%

iii) MSE ( average of Squared Errors )

3 week MV = 146.33 ,  Simple exponential smoothing = 178.72.

iv) Bias

3 week MV = -5/9 = -0.56,  Simple exponential smoothing = -8.69/9 = -0.96.

v) TS  ( Total error / MAD )

3 week MV = -5 / 10.04 = -0.49 ,

simple exponential smoothing  = -8.69 / 11.53 = -0.75

b) I prefer 3-week moving average based on the values of MAD , MAPE, MSE, bias and TS which shows that there is a better estimate when using the 3 -weeks moving average.

Fixed costs amounted=$1,156,000

pretax income=$1,496,000.

Units Sold=340,000

Price of each unit sold=$19.20

Revenue=Units Sold*Price of each unit sold

Revenue=340,000*$19.20

Revenue=$6,528,000

Pretax Income=Revenue-Fixed costs-Variable costs

$1,496,000=$6,528,000-$1,156,000-Variable costs

Variable costs=$6,528,000-$1,156,000-$1,496,000

Variable costs=$3,876,000

Gray Company, a closely held C corporation, incurs a $50,000 loss on a passive activity during the year. The company has active
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

B) False: since it is still a closely held C corporation, it cannot reduce its ordinary income through passive losses. If it hadn't been a closely held C corporation then it could have made the deductions.

Explanation:

Passive losses are losses resulting from financial activities, i.e. investments in other corporations where the investor doesn't participate in.

Passive losses cannot offset ordinary income, they must be matched against passive gains only. If passive losses exceed passive gains, they can be carried forward without limitation.

The only exception applies to C corporations that are not;

  • closely held corporations or
  • personal service corporations.

Qualifying C corporations can actually deduct passive losses from certain ordinary income.  

Closely held C Corporations are corporations where during the last 6 months, 50% or more of its stock is owned by 5 or fewer investors.
