Answer:
D) Even with an absolute advantage, the United States would have benefited from importing those products for which Britain had a comparative advantage.
Explanation:
The basis for foreign trade are comparative advantages, not absolute advantages. You must remember that in order for trade to be effective and long lasting, both sides must benefit from it, not just one side.
Resources are limited, and that applies to everyone, to every corporation and to every country. You might have an absolute advantage at producing everything, but your production possibilities frontier sets you a limit on what products or combination of products you can produce. Sometimes it might be beneficial to trade and receive some products that you could produce more efficiently, but their opportunity costs might be too high. Probably you can get them at lower costs from foreign suppliers and use those resources for producing something else.
Answer:
630,000 units and 678,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for material cost and for conversion cost is shown below:
For material cost
= Units transferred × completion percentage + ending work in process units × completion percentage
= 630,000 units × 100% + 120,000 units × 0%
= 630,000 units + 0 units
= 630,000 units
For conversion cost
= Units transferred × completion percentage + ending work in process units × completion percentage
= 630,000 units × 100% + 120,000 units × 40%
= 630,000 units + 48,000 units
= 678,000 units
Answer:
17.43
132.19
Explanation:
Net profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio. It measures he ability of a firm to earn a profit from its assets
Net profit margin = Net income / Revenue
0.05 = x / 9800
net income = 490
net income per share = 490 / 4500 = 0.109
p/e = 1.9 / 0.109 = 17.43
Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:
ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage
ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)
Answer: expected; expected
Explanation:
The Phillips curve is an economic concept whereby it is stated that there is a stable and inverse relationship between inflation and the unemployment in an economy.
According to this theory, inflation is as a result of economic growth and this will lead to reduction in unemployment.
There is a different short-run Phillips curve for every level of the expected inflation rate. The inflation rate at which the short-run Phillips curve intersects the long-run Phillips curve equals the expected inflation rate.
