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. With specialization and trade, how many additional barrels of olive oil can Iran consume?

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

The fixed cost of conducting the four promotions is estimated to be 18000 dollars with a variable cost of 3.75 dollars per custo
mote1985 [20]

Answer:please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

The Question is incomplete. the question requires us to calculate minimum number of customers required to cover costs of promotions, to calculate the minimum number of customers required we need a price per customer. let us assume the price $6

Variable costs  = $3.75

Fixed costs = $18000

Minimum Customers Required = Fixed costs/(Price - Variable cost)

Minimum Customers Required = 18000/6 - 3.75 = 8000

8000 customers are required

The __ approach takes into account both the magnitude and timing of cash flows over the entire life of a project in measuring it
Nikolay [14]

Answer: d. internal rate of return

Explanation:

The Internal Rate of Return can be a very useful method for measuring the viability of a product because it takes into account the magnitude and timing of cashflows when it discounts it to the current period to find out if it will lead to a higher NPV than zero.

The other methods have their limitation. The payback period does not take into account the entire lifetime but rather stops as soon as the project pays back and the other two do not take into account the timing of the cashflows.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1. Point on x-axis will increase and so will the point on the y-axis

2. All of the above

Explanation:

1. The Production Possibilities Frontier shows the amount of resources needed to produce different quantities of two goods. It therefore allows one to see the trade-off in resources for producing more of one good vs the other.

When a factor of production leads to more efficiency in the production of a good, the frontier will increase. In this scenario, there has been a growth in technology which means that more of both goods can be produced. This will increase the PPF on both axis. (Refer to attached file).

2. All of the listed options have led to increases in the standard of living in the last century. More education means people can get better jobs and build more infrastructure. International trade has increased market access and increased wealth. Farm productivity is better so more people can be fed and improvement in technology is the main driver for growth.

pochemuha

Answer:

The computations are shown below:

Explanation:

The journal entry is as follows

1. Bad debt expense $9,330

       To Allowance for doubtful debts $9,330

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $311,000 × 3%

= $9,330

For recording this transaction, we debited the bad debt expense as it increases the expenses account while at the same time it reduces the account receivable so the allowance would be credited

2. And, the reporting of account receivable is shown below:

Accounts receivable                          $44,000  

Less: Allowance for doubtful debts (9,330)  

Net Accounts receivable                  34,670
