Answer:

All except ' 7 Barrels of oil per bottle of wine'

Explanation:

Italy & Switzerland can gain from specialising : If they get more than domestic trade off ratio i.e more than 1/5 or 0.20 units oil per unit wine & more than 1/5 or 0.20 units wine per unit oil.

  • '4 Units Oil = 1 Unit Wine' implies '1 unit oil = 1/5 i.e 0.25 units Wine'. This is favourable term of trade for Switzerland & Italy, as they both get more than 1/5 or 0.20 units oil per unit wine & more than 1/5 or 0.20 units wine per unit oil
  • '1 Unit Oil = 1 Unit Wine' is also favourable term of trade for Switzerland & Italy, as they both get > 1/5 or 0.20 units oil per unit wine & > 1/5 or 0.20 units wine per unit oil
  • '2 units oil =  1 unit wine' implies ' 1 unit oil = 0.5 units wine'. It is is also favourable term of trade for Switzerland & Italy, as they both > than 1/5 or 0.20 units oil per unit wine & > 1/5 or 0.20 units wine per unit oil
  • '7 units oil per unit wine' is favourable for Italy as it receives > 1/5 or 0.20 units oil per unit wine. But it is not favourable for Switzerland as it gets 1/7 = 0.14 units wine per unit oil, i.e < 1/5 or 0.20 units wine per unit oil.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The value after seven years from now is $231,216.29

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value would be seven years from now is shown below:

Here we use the future value formula i.e. shown below:

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $188,000 × (1 + 0.03)^7

= $188,000 × (1.03)^7

= $231,216.29

Hence, the value after seven years from now is $231,216.29

kompoz [17]

Answer: Option(a) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option : Marginal cost curve above average variable cost for a typical firm in the market.

In a market of perfect competition, the shutdown price of the firms will be minimum point of average variable cost. So, there is supply of goods by the firms if the price is equal or above the shutdown point of the firm.

Therefore, the supply curve of the firm is the above part of the MC curve from the minimum point of average variable cost.

Trail Running Company has started to produce running apparel in addition to the trail running shoes that they have manufactured
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Machining Department Finishing Department Estimated Manufacturing Overhead by Department ​$800,000​ $200,000

Trail Running Shoes ​360,000 machine hours​ 6,000 direct labor hours Running Apparel ​40,000 machine hours​ 34,000 direct labor hours

Manufacturing overhead is driven by machine hours for the machining department and direct labor hours for the finishing department.

At the end of the​ year, the following information was gathered related to the production of the trail running shoes and running​ apparel:

Machining Department Finishing Department Trail Running Shoes ​362,000 hours ​5,500 hours

Running Apparel​ 37,000 hours​ 35,000 hours

How much manufacturing overhead will be allocated to running​ apparel?

<em><u>For The Overhead Absorption Rate for Machining Department</u></em>

<em>Trail Running Shoes = (360,000/360,000+40,000)* $800,000 = $720,000</em>

<em>Running Apparel = (40,000/360,000+40,000)* $800,000 = $80,000</em>

<em><u>For The Overhead Absorption Rate for Finishing Department</u></em>

<em>Trail Running Shoes = (6,000/6,000+34,000)* $200,000 = $30,000</em>

<em>Running Apparel = (34,000/6,000+34,000)* $200,000 = $170,000</em>

<em><u>Therefore the running department would have been allocated ($80,000+$170,000) which is $250,000 during the period.</u></em>

Current information for the Healey Company follows: Beginning raw materials inventory $ 29,200 Raw material purchases 74,000 End
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $167,800

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

First, we need to determine the direct material used in production:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 29,200 + 74,000 - 30,600= 72,600

cost of goods manufactured= 36,400 + 72,600 + 56,800 + 44,000 - 42,000

cost of goods manufactured= $167,800
