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

Long-Life Insurance has developed a linear model that it uses to determine the amount of term life insurance a family of four sh
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

y=160.9

Explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Models are an important part of the study of a variety of natural phenomena in a great number of fields like science, health, business, human behavior, economics, among many others.

Once a model is determined, it can be used to estimate future values of important variables which in turn can help people to make decisions.

It has been determined a model that relates the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have with the current age of the head of the household. That model is

y=165-0.1x

we are required to estimate the amount of term life insurance to recommend to a family of four when the head of the household is x=41 years old. Let's plug in the given value in the equation

y=165-0.1\cdot 41=165-4.1=160.9

\boxed{y=160.9}

Home Furnishings reports inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Below is information related to its y
uysha [10]

Answer:

$43,030

Explanation:

IAS 2 Inventories states that inventory is to be recognized at cost, however, subsequent measurement requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable amount (NRV).

As such, where the cost of inventory is higher than the NRV, it is written down to the NRV using the following entries,

Debit Inventory write off/Cost of goods sold

Credit Inventory account

with the difference between the cost and the NRV.

Inventory Quantity   Unit Cost    Unit NRV   New unit cost

Furniture    230           $88             $103             $88

Electronics   53           $430           $315             $315

From the analysis above, the cost of inventory is lower than the NRV for Furniture, hence no adjustment is required. However, the cost of Electronics is higher than the NRV hence a write down is required. This amount is

= ($430 - $315) × 53

=$115 × 53

= $6,095

Total recorded cost(ending) of inventory before any adjustment

= (230 × $88) + (53 × $430)

= $43,030
