Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is an advantage an individual, organization or country has to use <em>opportunity costs</em> in their production compared to their competitors. The scenario described above does not imply that the individual, organization or country has an absolute advantage.

In the example proposed:

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in fishing boats = \frac{25}{150}=  0.17
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in fishing boats = \frac{30}{300} = 0.10

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in jars = \frac{150}{25} = 6
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in jars = \frac{300}{30} = 10

Thus, <em>the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.</em>

Four companies computed their days' sales in inventory as follows: Company A: 47.2 Company B: 36.5 Company C: 45.1 Company D: 39
Leviafan [203]

The most efficient and effective in managing its inventory is Company B.

<h3>Who is the most efficient?</h3>

The days' sales in inventory  is a financial ratio that measures the rate at which a firm is able to sell its inventory in a given year. The lower the ratio, the more efficient a firm is in selling its inventory.

Days' sales in inventory = number of days in a period / inventory turnover

Inventory turnover =  cost of goods sold / average inventory

For a recent year L’Oreal reported operating profit of €3,385 (in millions) for its Cosmetics division. Total assets were €12,88
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The correct answer is 26.05%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Beginning Assets = 12,888 ( million)

Ending Assets = 13,099 (million)

Operating profit = 3,385 (million)

So, Average Assets for the year = (12,888 + 13,099) ÷ 2 = 12,993.5 (million)

So, we can calculate the return on investment by using following formula:

Return on investment = Operating profit ÷ Average assets for the year

By putting the value, we get

Return on investment = 3,385 ÷ 12,993.5 (million)

= 0.2605 or 26.05%

Vincent operates a scenic tour business in Boston. He has one bus which can fit 50 people per tour and each tour lasts 2 hours.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

There is some information missing, and when I looked for it I found similar questions but the demand was already given and the question was about Vincent's total daily income.

Passenger                  Price                  Daily demand

Adults                          $18                        70

Children                      $10                        25

Senior citizens            $12                        55

total                                                           150

total revenue per day = ($18 x 70) + ($10 x 25) + ($12 x 55) = $1,260 + $250 + $660 = $2,170

total operating costs per day = (150 / 50) x $450 = $1,350

operating income per day = $2,170 - $1,350 = $820
