Answer:

France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden

Explanation:

France can produce: 4 phones or 3 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (3 ÷ 4)

                                                                        = 0.75 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (4 ÷ 3)

                                                                        = 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce: 1 phone or 2 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (2 ÷ 1)

                                                                        = 2 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (1 ÷ 2)

                                                                        = 0.5 phones

According to the comparative advantage,

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because the opportunity cost of producing computers is lower for Sweden than for France.

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because the opportunity cost of producing phones is lower for France than for Sweden and import computers from Sweden because Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers.

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $1,852,320

Explanation:

First find out the proportion owned by Matsui.

= 74,800 shares / 220,000

= 34%

The investment at the end of the year is:

= Cost of investment + Shares of net income - Share of dividend

Share of income:

= Percentage ownership * Net income

= 34% * 240,000

= $81,600

Share of dividend:

= 34% * 72,000

= $24,480

Investment at end of year:

= 1,795,200 + 81,600 - 24,480

= $1,852,320

First, we will start with annual depreciation. We will always use straight-line depreciation in this course Consider a firm that
NARA [144]

Answer:

Annual Depreciation expense = $15695.7692  rounded off to  $15695.77

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the cost of the equipment. The cost at which an equipment or asset should be recorded should include all the costs incurred to bring the asset into the place and condition necessary for its use as intended by the management. Thus the cost of the equipment will be,

Cost = 165891 + 42172

Cost = $208063

Now we can calculate the depreciation expense per year based on the straight line depreciation method using the following formula,

Annual Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated useful life

Annual Depreciation expense = (208063 - 4018) / 13

Annual Depreciation expense = $15695.7692  rounded off to  $15695.77

Helen [10]

Calculation of Direct Material Budget for the month of July:

Budgeted production (Units) for July 5,000

Material required per unit (pounds) 3

Material requirement for July (pounds) = (5000 units * 3 pounds) 15,000

Add: Ending material inventory (5300 units * 3 pounds* 30%) 4,770

Less: Beginning material inventory 4,500

Direct Material Purchase (Pounds) (15000+4770-4500) = 15,270

Cost per pound of Metrial ($) $6.00

Direct Material Purchase ($) (15270 pounds * $6) = $91,620

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a. The total employment compensations for the two employees are the same

Explanation:

Employee compensation refers to payment made to employees by an organization in consideration for the services rendered.

Employee compensation can be in cash form such as salary and wages, perquisites, allowances, incentives, commission, etc.

In the given case,

<u>Compensation for Employee A</u>:

= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses

= $57200 + 5300 - 800

=  $ 61,700    

Similarly,

Compensation for Employee B:

= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses

= $56,900 + $6200 - $ 1400

= $61,700

Thus, employment compensation for both A and B are the same.
