I am assuming here that you use the example where in the US the workers can produce 200 computers of 100 cars  and the French workers can produce 80 of each.


 Then the opportunity cost of one computer in France is higher than in the United States -which means that it's lower in the United States (twice as low)

So, France would have a comparative advantage in producing wine and US in producing computers.

Luden [163]

Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $21

Explanation:

<em>Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group</em>

<em>Where  a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows</em>

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost

Note that the fixed of $12 per unit (i.e 33-21) is irrelevant for this purpose, whether or not Hinges produces, it will be incurred either way.

It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Doors division because Hinges is currently having excess capacity.

Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable cost of $21 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.

Hence, the minimum transfer price = $21

Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) $28 Million

b) -$24 Million

Explanation:

The first part of the question is to determine the pension liability tht should be reported in the balance sheet

To do this, we use the following formula

Projected Benefit Obligation - The Plan Assets

= $65 million - $37 Million = $28 Million

Part B) This part says to dettermine the amount JDS would report if the planned asset increase to $89 million

The formula Projected Benefit Obligation - The Plan Assets  still should be used but there is a difference as follows

$65 million - $89 Million = -$24 Million

Simora [160]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Involve farming out value chain activities presently performed in-house to outside specialists and strategic allies.

Explanation:

Outsourcing refers to a practice that companies engage in to take their operations abroad to lower production costs and avoid being subject to stiff regulations that might harm their profits. <em>Under this approach, firms value chain activities handled in their original country are taken to countries where the manufacturing and labor costs are much lower with and relatively similar qualified workforce and suppliers.</em>  

Outsourcing might harm the employment rate in the domestic country of the company handling operations abroad but could benefit the outsourced nation by introducing job opportunities where there may not even be basic labor conditions.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

COGS= $598,020

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.

We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780

COGS= $598,020
