Answer:

Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables

Explanation:

                  Vegetables        Chicken        Trade Off Ratio

John             40                     10                4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)

George          25                      5                 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)

John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :

  • John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
  • George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).  

So,  John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.

  • It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
  • Unitary method:-  '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .

WARRIOR [948]

Answer;

Cost of goods manufactured =  Cost of finished goods available for sale - Beginning inventory of finished goods.

Cost of goods sold = Cost of finished goods available for sale - Ending finished goods

a. Cost of goods manufactured =  Cost of finished goods available for sale - Beginning inventory of finished goods.

331,000 = a - 64,900

a = 331,000 + 64,900

= $395,900

b. Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods

b = 395,900  - 76,800

= $319,800

c. Cost of goods manufactured =  Cost of finished goods available for sale - Beginning inventory of finished goods.

c = 178,600 - 18,800

= $159,800

d. Cost of goods sold = Cost of finished goods available for sale - Ending finished goods

d = 178,600 - 37,500

= $141,100

e. Cost of goods manufactured =  Cost of finished goods available for sale - Beginning inventory of finished goods.

65,800 = 103,400 - e

e = 103,400 - 65,800

= $37,600

f. Cost of goods sold = Cost of finished goods available for sale - Ending finished goods

- missing figure (ending finished goods).

Scrat [10]

Answer:

amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000

Explanation:

A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.

In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.
