Suppose that without specialization, Iran produces 4 barrels of oil and 6 bottles of olive oil, and Iraq produces 4 barrels of o

il and 4 bottles of olive oil (in millions per day). Are the countries better off or worse off with specialization and trade? Suppose that the terms of trade with specialization are 4 barrels of oil for 4.3 bottles of olive oil, and that 4 barrels of oil are indeed traded for 4.3 bottles of olive oil.

Answer:

With specialization Iran will be able to consume 1.7 bottles of olive oil.

Explanation:

Iran produces 4 barrels of oil and 6 bottles of olive oil.

Iraq produces 4 barrels of oil and 4 bottles of olive oil.

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of oil for Iran

= \frac{6}{4}

= 1.5

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of oil for Iraq

= \frac{4}{4}

= 1

Iraq has a lower opportunity cost for producing oil so we can say it has a comparative advantage in producing oil.

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of olive oil for Iran

= \frac{4}{6}

= 0.66

The opportunity cost of producing a barrel of olive oil for Iraq

= \frac{4}{4}

= 1

Iran has a lower opportunity cost for producing olive oil so we can say it has a comparative advantage in producing it.

The terms of trade with specialization are 4 barrels of oil for 4.3 bottles of olive oil, and that 4 barrels of oil are indeed traded for 4.3 bottles of olive oil.

Without trade, Iran is consuming 4 barrels of oil and 6 bottles of olive oil.

With specialization, Iran will be able to consume

= 6 - 4.3

= 1.7 bottles of olive oil

Elegance Bath Products, Inc. (EBP) makes a variety of ceramic sinks and tubs. EBP has just developed a line of sinks and tubs ma
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

C) 410 tubs

Explanation:

the contribution margin for sinks is $70 (= $150 - $80) and the contribution margin for tubs is $150 (= $600 - $450).

the molding equipment has 4,050 hours of capacity per year, so it can produce either 2,025 sinks or 810 tubs.

we can determine what product is more profitable if we determine a contribution margin per molding equipment usage ratio:

  • sink = $70 / 2 hours = $35 per hour
  • tub = $150 / 5 hours = $30 per hour

It is more profitable to produce sinks than tubs, but we can sell only 1,000 sinks per year, so even after we product the 1,000 sinks we will have spare molding equipment capacity which we can use to produce tubs.

The spare molding equipment capacity after producing sinks = 4,050 total hours - 2,000 hours used to produce sinks = 2,050 spare molding hours

We can produce 410 tubs (= 2,050 molding hours / 5 hours per tub)

dexar [7]

Answer:

Fixed Cost = $10,000

Variable Costs = $90,000

Explanation:

Variable Cost per unit = $72,000 ÷ 12,000

                                      = $6

Variable Costs at 15,000 units = $6 x 15,000

                                                   = $90,000

Fixed Cost (given) = $10,000

Suppose you started a new all-equity financed company that is expected to generate an ROE of 15% indefinitely. The current book
Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the stock at start-up = $67.5

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return  

This principle can be applied as follows:  

The value of stock today is the present value of the future return discounted at the required rate of return

The return can be computed as the ROE × Book value of share

Return = 15%× 30 =4.5

Price of stock today = D× (1+g)/r-g

D= current return, g- growth rate, r-required rate of return

DATA: D= 4.5, g= 5%, r= 12%

PV  = 4.5× (1.05)/(0.12-0.05)

= 67.5

The value of the stock at start-up = $67.5
