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' .

Thornbrough Corporation produces and sells a single product with the following characteristics: Per Unit Percent of Sales Sellin
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

-$5,500

Explanation:

The computation of the overall effect on the company net operating income is as follows:

New Variable cost per unit is

= $44 + $11

= $55

Now the new contribution margin per unit is

= $220 - $55

= $165

New unit Monthly sales is

= 7,000 units + 500 units

= 7,500

Now

New total contribution margin :

= 7,500 units × $165

= $1,237,500

And, the Current total contribution margin is

= 7,000 units × $176

= $1,232,000

So, the change would be

= $1,232,000 - $1,237,500

= -$5,500
