Answer:

A. Airplanes

Explanation:

According to the comparative advantage theory, it is suggested that a country should focus on the production of goods and services for which it has the lowest opportunity cost. Having that in mind, in this case, Since both can produce 20 Airplanes but America can produce 8 automobiles and Japan can produce 10 automobiles, America should specialize in airplane production since Japan has lower opportunity in producing automobiles than America in producing airplanes. So according to comparative advantage, United states of America is expected to specialize in Airplane production and Japan in Automobiles production.

Answer:

a. Airplanes

Explanation:

If compared with Japan, the US will not produce as much Auto mobiles as Japan, and they won't make it in the business industry.

So it's advisable they compete with Japan since both two can produce same amount of airplanes (20)

US have little or nothing to loose if they do so.

Lloyd Inc. had sales of $200,000, a net income of //415,000, and the following balance sheet: Cash $10,000 Accounts Payable $30,
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The firm's new quick ratio is  2.9

Explanation:

The current ratio is calculated as  

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)

2.5 = ($10,000 + $50,000 + Inventories) / $50,000

$60,000 + inventories = $125,000

Inventories = $65,000

Therefore, $85,000 worth of inventories were sold off.

If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.

Hence, the common equity amounts to $115,000

Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:

ROE = Net income / Stockholder's equity

= $15,000 / $200,000

= 0.075 or 7.5%

Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory

ROE = $15,000 / $115,000

= 0.13 or 13%

The firm's new quick ratio is

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities

= ($210,000 - $65,000) / $50,000

= 2.9

Bruce Corporation makes four products in a single facility. These products have the following unit product costs:
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Variable cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling cost per unit

Variable cost of product A =    $17.30 + $19.30 + $6.10 + $3.05 = $45.75

Variable cost of product B =   $21.20 + $22.70 + $7.30 + $3.75 = $54.95

Variable cost of product C =   $14.20 + $17.10 + $9.80 + $4.50 = $45.60

Variable cost of product D =   $16.90 + $11.10 + $6.80 + $5.20 = $40

Contribution per unit (CPU) = selling price per unit – variable cost  

Product A CPU = $87.20 - $45.75 = $41.45

Product B CPU = $79.60 - $54.95 = $24.65

Product C CPU = $76.40 - $45.60 = $30.8

Product D CPU = $71.10 - $40 = $31.10

Contribution per grinding minutes (CPGM)  = CPU ÷ contribution per grinding minutes

CPGM of Product A = $41.45 ÷ 2.30 = $18.02

CPGM of Product B = $24.65 ÷ 1.35 = $18.26

CPGM of Product C = $30.8 ÷ 0.90 = $34.22

CPGM of Product D = $31.10 ÷ 1.20 = $25.92

According to the analysis, Product C makes the most profitable use of grinding machine. Because it’s give the highest contribution per grinding minutes.

Jackson has the choice to invest in city of Mitchell bonds or Sundial, Incorporated corporate bonds that pay 5.8 percent interes
Ber [7]

Answer:

4.524%

Explanation:

Jackson's marginal tax rate = 22%

after tax return of Sundial Incorporated bonds = 5.8% x (1 - 22%) = 4.524%

since municipal bonds are not taxed by the federal government, in order to compare the yields we must calculate the after tax return of corporate bonds. On the other hand, federal bonds do not pay state and local taxes.
