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.

Explanation:

date         item                               units             price             total

Jan. 1        beginning inv.             2,500             $5             $12,500    

Feb. 17     purchase                      3,300             $6             $19,800

July 21      purchase                     3,000             $7             $21,000

Nov. 23    purchase                      1,200             $8              $9,600

total                                              10,000                             $62,900

Dec. 31     ending inv.                   1,500                              

ending inventory using FIFO = (1,200 x $8) + (300 x $7) = $11,700

ending inventory using LIFO = 1,500 x $5 = $7,500

ending inventory using average cost = 1,500 x $6.29 = $9,435

You were hired as a consultant to Quigley Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equ
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A. 8.15

Explanation:

WACC is the firm's weighted average cost for the capital that is employed from different sources which includes common equity, preferred equity and debt.

In order to calculate WACC, the weighted average cost of each capital is added, so the formula becomes:

WACC = (E x %E) + (D x (1 - Tax) x %D) + (PE x %PE)

E = Common equity

D = Debt

PE = Preferred equity

%E = Common equity / total capital

%D = Debt / total capital

%PE = Preferred equity / total capital

Tax = Tax rate

<em>Interest on debt is a tax deductible expense therefore the interest rate is taken after accounting for tax in order to calculate WACC.</em>

<u>Calculation:</u>

Using the above formula we can calculate WACC

WACC = (11.25% x 55%) + (6.5% x (1-40%) x 35%) + (6% x 10%)

WACC = 0.0815 or 8.15%

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

1. ANSWER: 20,000

2. ANSWER: $400,000

3. ANSWER: $28.45

Explanation:

1. If the average price for a new disposable cell phone is $20, and the total market potential for that product is $4 million;and Topco, Inc. has a planned market share of 10 percent. Then, Topco have the potential to sell in this market 10% * $4 million / $20 = 20,000 units of the proposed cell phone.

2. The planned market share in dollars is 10% * $4 million = $400,000

3. If Atlantic Car Rental charges $29.95 per day to rent a mid-size automobile. Pacific Car Rental, Atlantic's main competitor, just reduced prices on all its car rentals. In response, Atlantic reduced its prices by 5 percent.

Now Atlantic's new cost of rental for mid-size cars is: 95% of $29.95 =  $28.45

sineoko [7]

Answer:

AFS 2004 market price decline exceeded 2005 market price recovery

No No

The security cannot be classified as available-for-sale because the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in owners' equity, not earnings.

The second part of the question is somewhat ambiguous. The 2004 price decline could exceed or be exceeded by the 2005 price recovery. The loss in the first year is not related in amount and does not constrain the realized gain in the second year.

The way to answer the question is to read the right column heading as implying that the earlier price decline must exceed the later price recovery. With that interpretation, the correct answer is no.

For example, assume a cost of $10 and a market value of $4 at the end of the first year. An unrealized loss of $6 is recognized in earnings. During the second year, the security is sold for $12. A realized gain of $8 is recognized-the increase in the market value from the end of the first year to the sale in the second year. Thus, the market decline in the first year did not exceed the recovery in year two. (It could have exceeded the recovery in year two but there is no requirement that it must.)
