Answer: A.

Division ABC has $750,000 invested in assets and earned $200,000 in income. Division XYZ has $800,000 invested in assets and ear

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Division XYZ has the highest residual income

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.

It is used to appraise and evaluate the performance of separate divisions of the same company where different managers are responsible for each

It is computed as follows:

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)

Division ABC

Residual income = 200,000 - (10%×750,000) = $125,000

Residual income= $125,000

Division XYZ

Residual income = 210,000 - (10% ×800,000) = $130 ,000

Residual income= $130,000

Division XYZ has a higher residual income of $130,000 compared to the $125,000 of division ABC. A difference of $5,000 higher.

Suppose that Italy and Sweden both produce rye and cheese. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 bushels

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese

Explanation:

Suppose that Italy and Sweden both produce rye and cheese.

Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 bushels of rye while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 bushels of rye.

By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese because it has a lower opportunity cost (as a matter of fact half the cost) in comparison with Sweden.

Comparative advantage is an economic term that refers to an economy's ability to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost than that of trade partners
