Answer:

Orion has a comparative advantage in the production of granite .

Scorpius has a comparative advantage in the production of Blueberries.

Explanation:

We have the relative cost for Orion of producing one Ton of Granite is: 9/6 = 1.5 Bushels of Blueberries, while the relative cost for Scorpius of producing one ton of Granite is : 7/3 = 2.33 Bushels of Blueberries. Thus, Orion has comparative advantage of producing Granite.

We have the relative cost for Orion of producing one Bushels of Blueberries is: 6/9 = 0.67 ton of granite, while the relative cost for Scorpius of producing one Bushels of Blueberries is : 3/7 = 0.43 ton of granite. Thus, Scorpius has comparative advantage of producing Blueberries.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

30,000 units

Explanation:

we can use the economic order quantity formula:

EOQ = √(2SD/H)

where:

  • S = order cost (per purchase order) ≈ production run cost = $900
  • D = demand in units (annual basis) ≈ production requirement = 1,500,000 units
  • H = holding costs (per unit, per year) = $3 per item, per year

EOQ = √[(2 x $900 x 1,500,000) / $3] = 30,000 units

Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Which of the following statements are TRUE?

I New issues of Treasury Bills are generally priced at par

II New issues of Treasury Bonds are generally priced at par, or at a slight discount to par

A. I only

B. III only

C. II and III only

D. I, II, III

Correct Answer:

C. II and III only

Explanation:

It is a fact that virtually all new issues of T-Bills are always sold at a discount to par value. These are original issue discount obligations, with the accrued value of the discount being the interest income earned on these securities.

<em>Treasury Bonds and Agency Bonds are issued at par or in most cases at a very slight discount to par, and make periodic interest payments.</em>
