The nation of Hillyland is initially​ self-sufficient in coffee and​ rice, and so is Flatland. Coffee grows best on hilly​ land,

while rice grows best on flat land. Suppose each nation decides to specialize in the most suitable​ crop, and trade with the other nation for the other product. Discuss the​ trade-offs: who​ wins, who​ loses, and how long do the losses​ persist?

Answer:

Both Hillyland and Flatland will be better off in a win-win solution if they engage in comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Suppose each nation decides to specialize in the most suitable​ crop, and trade with the other nation for the other product, the trade-offs will be the products they supposedly can produce but do not have comparative advantage in. For Hillyland it will be rice and for Flatland it will be coffee.

When both nations practice comparative advantage there will be no losers because economic theory suggests that, when countries practice comparative advantage, the sum total of their combined output will be greater than if they had produced all products themselves because they wanted to be self sufficient.

The logic is simple, goods are less costly to produce in a country that has comparative advantage and at the end they could be sold cheaper to the country that traded it off.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

By raising additional funds from issuing additional equity common stock ,WAAC increases by 1.07%

Explanation:

WACC=Ke*E/V+Kp*P/V*Kd*D/V*(1-t)

WACC when additional funds is raised from retained earnings:

Ke is the cost of equity is 14.7%

Kd is the cost of debt is  11.1%

Kp is  the cost of preferred stock 12.2%

E=equity weight of 51% 0.51

P= preferred stock weight 4% 0.04

D=debt weight 45% 0.45

V=debt+equity+preferred stock weights

V=0.51+0.04+0.45=1

t is the tax rate at 25% 0.25

WACC=14.7%*0.51/1+12.2%*0.04+11.1%*0.45*(1-0.25)

          =(14.7%*0.51)/1+(12.2%*0.04)+(11.1%*0.45*0.75)

          =11.73%

WACC when additional funds is raised from common equity capital

Ke is the cost of equity is 16.8%

Kd is the cost of debt is  11.1%

Kp is  the cost of preferred stock 12.2%

E=equity weight of 51% 0.51

P= preferred stock weight 4% 0.04

D=debt weight 45% 0.45

V=debt+equity+preferred stock weights

V=0.51+0.04+0.45=1

t is the tax rate at 25% 0.25

WACC=16.8%*0.51/1+12.2%*0.04+11.1%*0.45*(1-0.25)

          =(16.8%*0.51)/1+(12.2%*0.04)+(11.1%*0.45*0.75)

          =12.80%

By raising additional funds from issuing additional equity common stock ,WAAC increases by 1.07% (12.80%-11.73%)

Current stock price ( present value ) = \mathrm{FV} /(1+\mathrm{r})^{\wedge} \mathrm{n}

=\$ 250 /(1+0.08) \wedge 19

LO 8.5Identify several causes of a favorable material quantity variance.
yan [13]

Answer:

Possible causes of material quantity variance:

1. The use of sub-standard material

2. The use of unskilled labour

3.  Wastage of material

Explanation:

Material quantity variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. The use of sub-standard material reduces the quality of output thereby resulting to unfavorable material quantity variance.  The use of unskilled labour also leads to unfavorable material quantity variance. Wastage of material                                                  due to low quality of inputs also results to unfavorable material quantity variance.
