b. Yes, trade is possible. Stephen should move boxes while LeBron makes cookies, because Stephen has a comparative advantage in moving boxes, whereas LeBron has a comparative advantage in making cookies.

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (28 ÷ 70)

                                                         = 0.4 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (70 ÷ 28)

                                                         = 2.5 boxes

LeBron could move 24 boxes or bake 6 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (6 ÷ 24)

                                                         = 0.25 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (24 ÷ 6)

                                                             = 4 boxes

Yes, trade is possible.

Stephen has a comparative advantage in baking cookies because of the lower opportunity cost than LeBron, so he is specialized in baking cookies.

On the other hand, LeBron has a comparative advantage in moving boxes because of the lower opportunity cost than Stephen, so he is specialized in moving boxes.

Tivo has a great brand. why hasn’t it profitably dominated the market for digital video recorders?
gogolik [260]
TiVo has not ruled the market beneficially in light of the fact that comparable advancements that offer more to shoppers have entered the market. In spite of the fact that there are still TiVo items being used, the organization is not making a benefit since link and satellite organizations are putting forth a similar kind of item. Purchasers utilize the video recording gadgets from their link and satellite organizations over TiVo in light of the fact that these gadgets are incorporated into their memberships.

Diston Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Welding Depa
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month is closest to: A. $8.112

Explanation:

Weighted-average method

Units transferred to the next department = Units in beginning work in process + Units started into production − Units in ending work in process

= 18,000 + 90,000 − 21,000 = 87,000

                                                                             Conversion

Unit transferred to the next department               87,000

Ending work in process:

Conversion: 21,000 units × 10%                              2,100

Equivalent units of production                               89,100

                                                                            Conversion

Cost of beginning work in process inventory       44,820

Costs added during the period                             677,970

Total cost (a)                                                            722,790

Equivalent units of production (b)                            89,100

Cost per equivalent unit (a) ÷ (b)                               $8.11

Andy deposited $3,000 this morning into an account that pays 5 percent interest, compounded annually. Barb also deposited $3,000
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A. Barb will earn $7.5 more interest in the next year than Andy

Explanation:

Compound interest applies on the reinvested interest amount.

Solution:

Andy's earning:

F= Future Value , P = Present Value, i = Interest rate, n=Years

Using = F = P(1+i)∧ n

First Year:

F = $3,000(1 + 0.05)∧1

   = $3,150

Interest Earning:

$3,150 - $3,000 = $150

Second Year

F = $3,000(1 + 0.05)∧1

   = $3,150

Interest Earning:

$3,150 - $3,000 = $150

Interest Earning Total = $150 + $150 = $300

Barb's Earnings:

For First year,

F = $3,000(1+0.05)∧ 1

  = $3,150

Interest Earning:

$3,150 - $3000 = $150

For Second year,

F = $3,150(1.05)∧ 1

  = $3,307.5

Interest Earning:

$3,307.5 - $3150 = $157.5

Interest Earning Total = $150 + $157.5 = $307.5

Barb's Earnings - Andy's Earnings = $307.5 - $300  = $7.5
