Now suppose they change their tasks, so that each individual does nothing but the task in which she or he has a comparative advantage. How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day?

____4_____ additional floral arrangements

____5____ additional deliveries

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time it takes Anita to finish one floral arrangement = 30 minutes

Time it takes Anita to make a delivery = 40 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to finish one floral arrangement = 10 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to make a delivery = 30 minutes

b) Absolute Advantage: Jerome will finish 3 floral arrangements (30/10), whereas Anita can only finish 1 in 30 minutes.

c) Anita's opportunity cost is the time it will take her to make a delivery using the same time it takes her to finish one floral arrangement. In 30 minutes time, she can only make (30/40) 0.75 deliveries. Using 40 minutes of making a delivery, she can finish 1.33 (40/30) floral arrangements.

d) Anita's comparative advantage in making deliveries is based on her opportunity cost when compared with Jerome's opportunity cost of making deliveries.

The following transactions were made by Ruby Inc. last year:

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

OPtion (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Issuance of common stock = $100,000

Dividends paid to the company's stockholders = $2,000

Depreciation expense = $6,000

Repayment of principal on bonds = $40,000

Proceeds from the sale of the company's used equipment = $39,000

Purchase of land = $230,000

Cash flow from financing activities:

= Issuance of common stock - Dividends paid to the common stockholders - Repayment of principal on the company's own bonds

= $100,000 - $2,000 - $40,000

= $58,000

Therefore, the net cash inflow from financing activities is $58,000.

In the long run, if inputs are increased by 10 percent and output increases by 20 percent, then __________ are said to exist.

Gala2k [10]

In the long run, if inputs are increased by 10 percent and output increases by 20 percent, then diseconomies of scale are said to exist. It is because diseconomies of scale is likely to happen in the long run for a business with increasing inputs without decreasing the cost of production. It can happen when the increase in production is dependent on one part that needs to be completed but there is a delay on producing the parts. Another reason is that the cost of shipping may increase base on how far will be the distance and the weight of the product.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

b. $150

Explanation:

Standard deduction refers to deduction available to an individual at a flat rate say 30%.Whereas in itemized deductions, an individual can claim deductions at different rates on different items.

Usually itemized deductions are more beneficial to an individual and in case tax saving in these cases exceeds total standard deductions, itemized deductions should be preferred.

In the given case, contribution of $1000 to church shall amount to a deduction. Since the tax rate applicable to the individual is 15%, the savings in tax shall amount to 15% of $1000 i.e $150.

Which of the following most accurately explains why even if you won $1 million in a lottery, you still would not escape the scar

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

All Individuals, whether rich or poor,are dissatisfied with their material well-being and would like more.

Explanation:

Individuals wanting more and not being satisfied with their material well being goes back to the fundamental problem of economics-unlimited human wants. Economists argue that human wants are unlimited and insatiable irrespective of their economic class. Whether rich or poor, no man is satisfied with his material well-being. Every man still feel something is lacking after acquiring so much or so little. He still has the scarcity problem.

This never-ending desire is embedded in the physiological make up of a man. When a man gets food, then he wants house. When he gets house, he wants car. When he gets a car, he wants to buy a private jet. In short, the more he gets, the more he wants more.

And that`s is the reason why you would win $1 million and stills not satisfied with having enough. You would still believe you lack something. You would still want to acquire more just to solve this scarcity problem.

Other options do not explain the problem ; they just points at microeconomics and macroeconomics issues.
