Answer:
France having a comparative advantage over Germany in ships.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is defined as the ability of a country to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost compared to other countries that produce a particular good. For example of country A produces cars at $300 cost, whole country B produces the Se car at cost of $1000 the country A has comparative advantage and should focus on producing cars.
In the scenario given Germany enjoys a comparative advantage over France in autos relative to ships.
This implies that France has a greater comparative advantage in ship production than Germany.
Answer:
- <u><em>1. CPI in the subsequent year: 1,135</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
- <u><em>2. Rate of inflation: 13.5%</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Calculate the CPI</u>
<em></em>
<em>CPI </em>is the consumer price index.
CPI is created using a basket of goods and services that are typically consumed.
In the given case the typical basket is:
- Gasoline and car maintenance
- Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls).
Then to find the CPI for a determined year you multiply each item by its price and then add up all the results.
For the base year, the expenditures per month were:
- 25 pizzas at $ 10: $10 × 25 = $250
- Gasoline and car maintenance: $100
- Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls): $50
Then, the CPI for the base year is:
- CPI = $250 + $600 + $100 + $50 = $1,000
The year following the base year, the expenditures per month are:
- 25 pizzas at $ 11 : $11 × 25 = $275
- Gasoline and car maintenance: $120
- Phone service (basic service plus 10 long-distance calls): $40
Then the CPI for the followng year is:
- CPI = $275 + $700 + $120 + $40 = $1,135
<u>2. Calculate the rate of inflation</u>
The rate of<em> inflation</em> is defined as the increase of the CPI of the given year with respect ot the base year:
The formula to calculate the rate of inflation is:
- Inflation = (CPI of the year - CPI of the base year) / (CPF of the base year) × 100
- Inflation = [ (1,135 - 1,000) / (1,000)] × 100 = 13.5%
Hence, <em>the rate of inflation for the subsequent year is 13.5%</em>

Material Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity Used * Standard Unit Cost )-
( Standard Quantity Used * Standard Unit Cost )
Material Quantity Variance =(AQ* SP) -(SQ*SP)
Material Quantity Variance = (24,870* 6)- ( 7.3* 3400 *6)
Material Quantity Variance = (24,870* 6)- (24,820* 6)
Material Quantity Variance = 149220 - 148920
Material Quantity Variance = $300 Unfavorable
As actual quantity is greater than standard quantity it is unfavorable.

Here are the cash flows used in answering this question :
ear Cash Flows-Traditional Board Game (A) Cash Flows-Interactive DVD (A)
0 $(1,600.00) $(3,500.00)
1 $770.00 $2,150.00
2 $1,350.00 $1,650.00
3 $290.00 $1,200.00
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
