Suppose we have a 2-person world, with only Stephen and his friend LeBron. Suppose that Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 coo

kies in an hour. Suppose that LeBron could move 16 boxes or bake 4 cookies in an hour. Is trade possible?
A. No, trade isn’t possible, because LeBron has an absolute advantage in both making cookies and moving boxes.
B. Yes, trade is possible. Stephen should move boxes while LeBron makes cookies, because Stephen has a comparative advantage in moving boxes, whereas LeBron has a comparative advantage in making cookies.
C. Yes, trade is possible. Stephen should make cookies while LeBron moves boxes, because Stephen has a comparative advantage in making cookies and LeBron has a comparative advantage in moving boxes.
D. No, trade isn’t possible, because Stephen has an absolute advantage in both making cookies and moving boxes.

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 cookies in an hour:

Opportunity cost of producing a box = (28 ÷ 70)

                                                             = 0.4 cookies

Opportunity cost of producing a cookie = (70 ÷ 28)

                                                             = 2.5 boxes

LeBron could move 16 boxes or bake 4 cookies in an hour:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (4 ÷ 16)

                                                             = 0.25 cookies

Opportunity cost of making a cookie = (16 ÷ 4)

                                                             = 4 boxes

Therefore,

Stephen has a comparative advantage in making cookies because the opportunity cost of making cookies is lower than the LeBron.

LeBron has a comparative advantage in moving boxes because the opportunity cost of moving boxes is lower than the Stephen.

Yes, the trade is possible.

Stephen should make cookies and LeBron should move boxes.

Training is the hidden cost associated with ERP implementations that is considered the most under-estimated.
algol [13]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Training is the hidden cost associated with ERP implementations that is considered the most under-estimated because at the initial stage of Enterprise resource planning software purchase, only the cost of purchase and installation is considered. However the software cannot be used without training the users on how to use the software.

Such training costs are sometimes as significant as 25% or more of the cost of the software and these costs are not included in the list price of the purchase of the ERP. Furthermore even when the training costs are estimated, they are often under-estimated as the number of users may increase with time as the organisation grows.

If a company increases its fixed costs for product​ b, then the contribution margin per unit will.
Evgen [1.6K]

If a company increases its fixed costs for product​ b, then the contribution margin per unit will remain the same.

<h3>What is fixed cost?</h3>
  • Fixed costs, sometimes referred to as indirect costs or overhead costs in accounting and economics, are costs incurred by a corporation that are independent of the volume of goods or services the company produces.
  • They frequently occur again and again, like monthly rent or interest payments.
  • These expenses are often capital expenses as well.
  • Contrast this with variable costs, which depend on volume (and are based on the quantity produced) and are unknowable at the start of the accounting year.
  • Some variable costs are affected by the type of fixed costs.
<h3>What is company?</h3>
  • A corporation, often known as co., is a legal entity that stands for a group of people with a certain goal who are either natural, legal, or a combination of the two.
  • Members of the company work together for a shared cause in order to accomplish clearly stated objectives.

jonny [76]

Answer:

B. an economic profit of $6.50

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached

Price     Q     TR        MR     Output    TC      MC

2.75       3     8.25       -             3         4            -

2.50       4     10         1.75         4         4.5       0.5

2.25       5     11.25     1.25         5         4.75    0.25

2            6      12         0.75        6         5.75       1

1.75        7      12.25   0.25        7         7.75       2

For profit Max MR = MC. MC>MR

At Q = 5, MR = 1.25 & MC = 0.25

Economic profit = TR - TC = 11.25 - 4.75 = $6.5

But at Q = 6, MR = 0.75 MC = 1. Net benefit is negative
