Answer:
Freecia has a comparative advantage in producing memory chips
Explanation:
Comparative advantage occurs when a company has an advantage over the other through the production of certain goods at a cheaper rate.
Looking at the given example , let us assume that the cost of producing a bushel of rice is $10 and memory chips is $10
Warmia produces two bushels of rice at $70 and a memory chip at $70(ratio 2:1) 1/3*70= 23.3
Freecia produces five bushels of rice at $70 and two memory chips at $7
(Ratio 5:2). 2/7*70=14
We can see that the cost of producing memory chips is cheaper fo Freecia
Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Answer:
Beta = 0.62
Explanation:
<em>The capital pricing model establishes the relationship between expected return from a stock and its systematic risk . The systematic risk is that which affects all players (businesses and firms) in the entire market, such risks are occassioned by changes in interest rate, exchange rate e.t.c</em>
<em>According to the model , the expected return is computed as follows</em>
E(r) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf- risk -free rate, Rm-Rf - market premium
E(r) = 12.2%, Rm-Rf = 10, β- ?
12.2 = 6% + β× 10
10β = 12.2 -6
β= (12.2-6)/10
= 0.62
Answer: D.
firms that can reduce pollution only at high cost will be willing to pay the most for the pollution permits.
Explanation: Tradable pollution permits are so-called cap and trade schemes. They give companies a legal right to pollute a certain amount per fixed time span. Firms that pollute less can then sell their leftover pollution permits to firms that pollute more. Credits are traded within defined trading areas.
Pollution permits, e.g. carbon trading schemes where firms are given the right to pollute a certain amount; these permits can be traded with other firms. Regulation. Limits on a number of pollutants that can be discarded into the atmosphere.
Answer:
Net Increase in cash = $124,200
Explanation:
Note: The correct value for Year 2021 inventory is $510,300 not $10,300.
Also note: See the attached excel file for the statement of cash flows for 2022.
In the attached excel file, the following workings are used:
Workings:
w.1: Increase in accounts receivable = Account receivable in 2022 - Account receivable in 2021 = $237,600 - $205,200 = $32,400
w.2: Decrease in inventory = Inventory in 2022 - Inventory in 2021 = $450,900 - $510,300 = -$59,400
w.3: Decrease in accounts payable = Accounts receivable 2022 - Accounts receivable 2021 = $105,300 - $116,100 = -$10,800
w.4: Disposal of land = Land in 2021 - Land in 2022 = $270,000 - $216,000 = $54,000
w.5: Purchase of equipment = Equipment in 2022 - Equipment in 2021 = $702,000 - $540,000 = $162,000
