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.

Owner Shan Mu is considering franchising her Noodles by Mu restaurant concept. She believes people will pay $ 10.00 for a large
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She believes people will pay $ 10.00 for a large bowl of noodles. Variable costs are $ 5.00 per bowl. Mu estimates monthly fixed costs for a franchise at $9,000

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in dollars:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 9,000/ [(10 - 5)/10]= $18,000

<u>To determine whether it is convenient to the franchisees, we need to calculate the margin of safety in dollars and, compare it to a break-even point in dollars with the desired income:</u>

<u />

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired income)/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (9,000 + 25,500) / 0.5= $69,000

Margin of safety=(current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 96,500 - 69,000= $27,500

It is a good business opportunity for franchisees.

During the month of January, Marcos &amp; Henesey, Inc. had total manufacturing costs of $165,000. It incurred $62,000 of direct
adell [148]

Answer:

$68,800

Explanation:

Let the direct material used be X,

Direct Material + Direct Labor + Over Head = Total product cost

X + $62,000 + $40,000 = $165,000

X + $102,000 = $165,000

X = $165,000 - $102,000

X = $63,000 Materials Used

Raw Materials used = Beginning Inventory + Purchased - Ending Inventory

Raw Materials used = Beginning Inventory + Purchased - [Beginning Inventory + $5,800]

$63,000 = Beginning Inventory + Purchased - Beginning Inventory - $5,800

$63,000 = Purchased  - $5,800

Purchased =  $63,000 + $5,800

Purchases = $68,800

Mike worked for Frank's Pizza as a driver and was an agent. His duties consisted of making deliveries along a designated route.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

B. is not liable because Mike was on a frolic of his own.

Explanation:

Mike who is a dispatch rider, decided to see his girlfriend, Jackie, who lived 50 miles off his pizza route. He had an accident while driving to his girlfriend's, and injured a pedestrian, Chuck due to his negligent driving.

Under the circumstances, Frank's Pizza isn't liable because Mike was on a frolic of his own. Mike embarking on a 50 mile drive to see his girlfriend is frolicsome and outside the scope of his employment as a delivery agent.

Hence, this will absolve his employer from any liability as he wasn't working on the designated route at the time.
