Suppose that a worker in Caninia can produce either 2 blankets or 8 meals per day, and a worker in Felinia can produce either 5

blankets or 1 meal per day. Each nation has 10 workers. For many years, the two countries traded, each completely specializing according to their respective comparative advantages. Now war has broken out between them and all trade has stopped. Without trade, Caninia produces and consumes 10 blankets and 40 meals per day and Felinia produces and consumes 25 blankets and 5 meals per day. The war has caused the combined daily output of the two countries to decline by:

Answer:

15 blankets; 35 meals

Explanation:

First, we compute Opportunity Cost (OC).

In Caninia,

OC of blanket = 8/2 = 4 meals

OC of meals = 2/8 = 0.25 blanket

In Felinia,

OC of blanket = 1/5 = 0.2 meals

OC of meals = 5/1 = 5 blanket

Since Felinia can produce blankets at lower OC (0.2 < 4), so

Felinia has comparative advantage and specializing in blankets.

Total blankets produced with trade = 5 x 10

                                                           = 50

Since Caninia can produce meals at lower OC (0.25 < 5), so

Caninia has comparative advantage and specializing in meals.

Total meals produced with trade = 8 x 10

                                                       = 80

After trade,

Total blankets produced = 10 + 25

                                         = 35

Decrease in blanket output = 50 - 35

                                              = 15

Total meals produced = 40 + 5

                                     = 45

Decrease in meals output = 80 - 45

                                            = 35

Answer:

The​ corporation's tax liability is $ 228,820.

Explanation:

To calculate tax liability we first have to find net profit. Detail calculation is given below.

<u><em>Net profit Calculation</em></u>

Sales                                                                                 $ 3,130,000

cost of goods sold and the operating expenses          ($ 2,080,000)

Interest expense                                                              ( $ 377,000)

Net profit                                                                           $ 673,000

<u><em>Tax liability Calculation</em></u>

Income fall under Tax bracket of  34%  ($75,001 to ​$10,000,0000 for corporate tax. No additional surtax will be charged as income do not fall under its net.

Tax liabilty = 673,000 * 34% = $ 228,820

Pick some number between $500 and $1500 and assume that the MPC for that state is 0.75. Estimate the total impact on the economy
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

$750

Explanation:

If I pick $1,000, and the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is 0.75, it means that while travelling the state, I will have spent $750 on goods and services either produced and traded in that state, or only traded in that state (while having been produced in other place). This is the total impact that I will have made on the economy of this state.

The remaining $250 that I will have saved will only impact the economy of the state if I deposit or invest the money in a financial institution located in the state. If instead, I invest those saving in some other state, or put the money under the mattress in my house (located in another state), my savings will not impact the economy of the state in any way whatsoever.
