Answer:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. It can be calculated by,

Opportunity Cost =\frac{Units of the Good Sacrificed}{Units of the good gained}

The country which has a lower opportunity cost is said to have a comparative advantage in producing a good.

In this case,

The opportunity cost of producing Turnip for the two producers is,

For selkirk- \frac{40}{40} =1 Clam

For Pirate Jack- \frac{60}{120} = \frac{1}{2} Clam

While, the opportunity cost of producing Clam for the two is given by,

For selkirk- \frac{40}{40} =1 Turnip

For Pirate Jack- \frac{120}{60} = 2 Turnips

Therefore, as can be seen the opportunity cost of producing Turnip is lower for Pirate Jack. So, Pirate Jack has a comparative advantage in Turnips.

While, Selkirk has a lower opportunity cost in digging clams so, it has a comparative advantage in Clams.

melomori [17]
<h2>Clarify the assignment would be the first step john should take to increase Kerry's responsibilities.</h2>

Explanation:

Option A: If a new work is assigned or an additional work is assigned, it is necessary to first explain about the new responsibility and clarify about the assignment. This would ensure Kerry to continue the work smoothly.

Option B: Feedback is always welcome but this is not the first step to add responsibilities.

Option C: Notifying others is the responsibility of John and not Kerry. So this choice is invalid.

Option D: Accountability though it is mandatory comes only in the closure part.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$1,560 and $0

Explanation:

According to the accrual method of accounting, the revenue should be recognized when it is realized or when the sale is made not when the cash is received

Since Digby delivers 104 units in April

So for the March income statement, the amount is

= 104 units × $15

= $1,560

And, for the April income statement, it would be zero as the total units order received in March only

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 8.39%

Explanation:

Margin = Net Income/ Sales

Net income for the company including the new investment:

= 864,000 + (Sales * Contribution margin ratio - Fixed costs)

= 864,000 + (4,200,000 * 30% - 966,000)

= $1,158,000

The combined sales for the company is:

= 9,600,000 + 4,200,000

= $13,800,000

Combined margin:

= 1,158,000 / 13,800,000

= 8.39%
