Lemony Company made sales of $ 32 comma 200 million during 2018. Cost of goods sold for the year totaled $ 12 comma 880 million.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Gross profit is 60%

Inventory turnover is 4.6 times

Explanation:

The formula to compute the gross profit percentage is shown below:

= (Gross profit ÷ sales) × 100

where,

Gross profit = Sales - the cost of good sold

                   = $32,200 million ÷ $12,880 million

                   = $19,320 million

And, the sales is $32,200 million

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the percentage would equal to

= ($19,320 million) ÷ ($32,200 million) × 100

= 60%

The formula to compute the inventory turnover is shown below:

= (Cost of goods sold) ÷ average inventory

where,

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2

                               = ($1,200 million + $1,600 million ) ÷ 2

                               = $900 million

And, the cost of good sold is $12,880 million

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the turnover would equal to

= $12,880 million ÷ $2,800 million

= 4.6 times

How can a country gain from specialization and​ trade? A. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has an absolut
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.

Explanation:

<em>Comparative advantage</em> is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.

For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per <em>Comparative Advantage</em> concept.

Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per <em>Comparative Advantage </em>model.

Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.

<em> In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory</em>.

It is to be noted that <em>Absolute Advantage model </em>of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the <em>Comparative Advantage Model </em>developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.
