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.

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.

Do you think that contracts or other financial instruments that do not have readily available market prices should be accounted
Damm [24]
<span>Fair value is defined as, a rational and unbiased estimate of the potential market price of a good, service, or asset. It takes into account such objective factors as: acquisition/production/distribution costs, replacement costs, or costs of close substitutes.

Since this is an opinion question, either answering yes or no is correct, but you have to say why. 


If I understand the question correctly, and the question isn't missing any parts, I would assume it's asking if you should put value on contracts as a document and other financial instruments. 

I was going to say no, but because contracts can be transferred or used as currency, I would say yes. 

If you say yes I would argue that giving a fair value of the contracts would make them more legal and have more bearing in a place of business.  That it would prevent the fluctuation of value on that contract based on other factors like profit/loss and whether or not you transferred, changed, etc. the contract. I would argue that to protect that contract and other financial instruments, and the holders stake in it, you should create a fair value for it.  

If you say no, I would argue that the contract can already be treated as a form of currency, and because of that it should not have a fair value placed on it.  I would also argue that because contracts often times state the value of that contract within itself, that it should not have a fair value.  And finally, I would argue that because with time, the value of items change, you should not place a fair value on a document that can be changed and can lose or gain value with time based on the purposed information in the contract.
