Answer:

b) The price of a hairbrush would be $7 and the price of socks would be $4.50 in both

Explanation:

Given that:

When there is no trade between Econia and Macroland;

For Hairbrush

the price of a hairbrush is $6 in Econia

the price of a hairbrush is $8 in Macroland

For a Pair of Socks

the price of a pair of socks is $5 in Econia

the price of a pair of socks is $4 in Macroland

Now if rade opened up between the two countries; we are to determine from the given options; the  terms of trade that might result, assuming that there are no transportation costs.

From the given data;

the price of the hairbrush is seen to be lesser in Econia than in Macroland; so it is best if Econia export the hair brush to Macroland since the price is lesser which will be of advantage to Macroland as they import the hairbrush ; Also Econia will benefit from this trade by increasing the price a little bit but not up to the price at which it is sold for at Macroland.

Now; The hairbrush is sold for $6 in Econia and $8 in Macroland.

It will be  bet if Econia can sell the hairbrush at the rate of somewhere between $6-$8 ; let say $7 since it will be an added  advantage for Econia because the price of selling the hairbrush will increase from $6 to $7 ; also, the price at which it is sold at Macroland will now have to reduce from $8 to  7.

Also;

The price of th pair of socks is lesser in Macroland (which is sold at the rate of $4 ) and the price of the pair of socks is sold at the rate of $5 in Econia.

So here ; Macroland will export the pair of socks to Econia while Econia import the pair of socks.

So; let say any price  between $4 and $5 (i.e $4.50) for a pair of socks will be okay for both parties because Macroland will get a higher price if it exports socks and Econia will pay lower price by importing socks which is up to $5.

Therefore; from the above explanation, The best option that suits to be the answer is option b ; The price of a hairbrush would be $7 and the price of socks would be $4.50 in both

Name one alternate option to establish credit if you are unable to get a credit card.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Option D            

Explanation:

Shop credit cards have similar functions as conventional credit cards. Through the account you make payments that can be paid out over period. Most retailers may provide rewards if you place an order with the credit card, or they can provide bonuses such as extra time back for your next order.

       Yeah, in general words. Department stores cards appear to be safer than other unsecured loan cards issued by large credit card providers to just get accepted for. A discount card is not only affecting your ratings but plummeting your credit use. If you file for fresh credit, once the lender takes one of any credit files you usually get slapped with a rough request.

Madison Corporation's production cycle starts in the Processing Department. The following information is available for April: Un
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Equivalent units = 270,000

Explanation:

<em>Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.</em>

Completed Units= total units in process during April - Closing WIP

                            = 280,000 - 25,000 = 255,000

Note that the description 'total units in process in during April', implies that the opening inventory is inclusive in the figure of 280,000.

Equivalent units = degree of completion(%) × units

Item                                                                                       Equivalent units

Completed units                255,000   255,000× 100%  = 255,000

Closing work in progress    25,000    25,000× 60%     =  <u>15,000</u>

Total equivalent units                                                           <u>270,000 </u>

Equivalent units = 270,000
