Answer:
If an economist argues that everyone gains from trade, the following reasoning is most likely underlying her argument:
- Production according to the principle of comparative advantage lowers overall costs and therefore allows both countries to have a higher standard of living.
Explanation:
- The comparative advantage refer to the situation in which an individual, company or a country offers its services and products at a lower rate as compared to its competitor. This leads to trade-off as you have to comprise for the gain of something.
- This comparative advantage also increase the dependencies of nations or companies on each other.
- For example, England and Portugal has benefited from this comparative advantage concept as England get the wine at lower cost from Portugal and Portugal also get earning by selling this wine to England.
Answer: In the second statement
Explanation: Supply and demand are two market forces which determines the price of a commodity. In simple words, the amount of commodity that the consumers are willing to buy at a given price is called demand and the producer are willing to sell is called supply. The situation in which the two are equal is called equilibrium.
If the demand for a product is higher than its supply then its price will increase and vice versa.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the second statement is correct.
Answer:
a. $349,700
b. $209,900
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Before computing the cash payment made to supplier first we have to find out the purchase amount which is shown below:
(a) Change in Finished goods + purchase = Cost of goods sold
-$25,800 + purchases = $307,000
So, the purchase is $332,800
Now
Cash paid to supplier is
= $332,800 + $16,900
= $349,700
And,
(b) Cash paid for operating expenses is
= $229,000 - $8,000 - $11,100
= $209,900
Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.
Explanation:
Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.
The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.
Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.
Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.
Answer:
910.18
Explanation:
After Chin's down payment the amount borrowed is ...
(1 - 20%)($180,000) = 0.80·$180,000 = $144,000
The amount of the payment is given by the amortization formula ...
A = P(r/n)/(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt))
for P borrowed at rate r for t years, compounded n times per year.
A = 144000(0.065/12)/(1 -(1 +.065/12)^(-12·30)) = 910.18
The monthly loan payments will be 910.18.
