Answer:

a. $955.20

b. $2.7579 x 10¹⁷

S= \$24 + \$24*0.10*(2014-1626)\\S=\$955.20

b. Compound interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% compound interest rate is:

C= \$24(1.10)^{(2014-1626)}\\C=\$2.7579*10^{17}

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Net income for the year = $257,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings for the year= Net income - dividends paid.

Since no dividends were paid, retained earnings for the year = net income for the year. At the end of each accounting period, retained earnings are reported on the balance sheet, and the retained profits for the year are added to the beginning balance of retained earnings, to give a cumulative ending balance of  $2,499,000.

therefore retained earnings for the year = ending retained earnings balance  - beginning retained earnings balance = $2,499,000.-$2,242,000= $257,000.

Net income for the year is  thus =  $257,000 since no dividends were paid.

Suppose the United States is currently producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 4
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.

United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers

= \frac{60}{200}

= 0.3

United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.

= \frac{200}{60}

= 3.33

So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.

Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers

= \frac{50}{40}

= 1.25

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos

= \frac{40}{50}

= 0.8

So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.

Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.

Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.
