Answer:
Portugal and Austria
Comparative Advantage in the Production of Beer and Cheese:
1a. Portugal
b. Austria
2. a. 3 barrels and
b. 0.09 or 1/11 pounds
3. A. 4 barrels of beer per pound of cheese
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 3 barrels of beer
Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 11 barrels of beer
Price of trade (cheese in terms of beer) = 11/3 = 3.667 = 4
b) Portugal's comparative advantage over the production of cheese is her economy's ability to produce cheese at a lower opportunity cost than Austria. This comparative advantage gives Portugal the ability to sell cheese at a lower price than Austria and realize a more favorable balance of trade.

Federal funds rate
Explanation:
Federal funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks borrow and lend their excess reserves to each other overnight.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The manufacturing overhead is
= factory utilities + depreciation on factory equipment + indirect factory labor + indirect material + factory manager salary + property tax + factory repairs
= $16,500 + $12,650 + $48,900 + $70,800 + $8,000 + $2,500 + $2,000
= $161,350
b. The product cost is
= Direct material used + direct labor + total manufacturing overhead
= $157,600 + $79,100 + $161,350
= $398,050
c. The period cost is
= Depreciation on delivery truck + sales salaries + repairs to office equipment + advertising + office supplies used
= $3,800 + $48,400 + $1,300 + $23,000 + $4,640
= $81,140
Answer: Surething Inc, needs to issue bonds with 11% interest rate in order to make Hugh indifferent between investing in two bonds.
We arrive at the answer in the following manner:
The City of Helfin bonds are municipal bonds and hence they are tax free. This means that Hugh will get an after - tax return of 6.6%.
The bonds of Surething Inc offering a 10% interest, however are taxed at 40%. So, the current after-tax returns of the bond is:


Current after tax return = 0.06 or 6%
However Hugh will be indifferent to investing in these two bonds only if they offer the same after-tax return of 6.6%.
Given this, we can calculate the indifference rate as follows:



Pre-tax return = 0.11 or 11%.
