Darya [45]

Answer:

A) 9 Pounds of Fish Per Bottle of Wine

Explanation:

A few things should be explained

1. Opportunity Cost - this is the benefit or value of the next best choice that has to be sacrificed when a choice is made between several alternatives.

2. Comparative Advantage: This describes the advantage when a business, individual or even a nation is able to maunfacture a good or offer a service at an opportunity cost that is lower than other competitors in the business. It simply means the ability to produce a good or service at a cost cheaper than one's competitors.

Step 1: By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that Spain (ability to produce a bottle for 4 pounds of fish as compard to 10 pounds by Sweden) has a comparative advantage in the production of wine

Also Comparing the opportunity cost of wine as well, Sweden has the comparative advantage in the production of fish (10 pounds of fish as compared to 3 pounds that can be produced by Spain for a bottle of while).

Step 2: The Trading of wine and fish between Spain and Sweden

a) as long as Spain is able to get more than 4 pounds of fish (what it can produce) for every exported bottle of wine, then it can gain from a trade with Sweden.

b) Also , as long as Sweden is able to receive more than 1/10 bottles of wine for each pound of fish it exports to Spain, it can gain from the specialization and trade.

Step 3: Prices of trade (of wine in terms of fish) will allow both Sweden and Spain gain from Trade.

The correct answer is 9 Pounds of Fish per bottle of Wine. This is correct because Spain can get more than the minimum 4 pounds of fish it needs and Sweden can receive more than 1/10 the bottles of wine it needs to make a gain.

Answer:

The Capability Index for this process is 1.04. The right answer is B

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

μ = 31 Seconds

USL = 45

LSL = 10

Standard deviation σ= 4.5

Therefore, in order to calculate the Capability Index for this process we would have to use the following formula:

Cpk=Min( USL-μ , μ- LSL)

3×σ 3×σ

Cpk=Min( 45-31 , 31- 10)

3×4.5 3×4.5

Cpk = Min ( 1.04,1.56) = 1.04

The Capability Index for this process is 1.04

On January 2, 2015, Moser, Inc., purchased equipment for $100,000. The equipment was expected to have a $10,000 salvage value at

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

a. Debit Depreciation expense $6,400

Credit Accumulated depreciation $6,400

b. $33,600

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of cost to an asset. It is given as

Depreciation = (Cost - salvage value)/estimated life

When accumulated over time, it is known as accumulated depreciation which is deducted from the cost to get the carrying amount of the asset.

Depreciation

= (100000 - 10000)/6

=$15,000

Between 2015 and start of 2019 is 4 years hence

accumulated depreciation at start of 2019

= $15,000 × 4

= $60,000

Net book value = $100,000 - $60,000

= $40,000

If the asset life is to be extended by 3 years, the remaining useful life changes from 2 to 5 years.

New depreciation rate

= (40,000 - 8000)/5

= $6,400

To record this for 2019,

Debit Depreciation expense $6,400

Credit Accumulated depreciation $6,400

The book value of the equipment at the end of 2019

= $40,000 - $6,400

= $33,600

There were initially two satellite radio providers in the U.S. market, Sirius and XM Radio. The firms merged to form one firm, a

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: a. The merged firm will operate at higher capacity and may be able to reduce costs through economies of scale and perhaps learning-by-doing, which will benefit U.S. consumers.

Explanation:

A merger occurs when two companies comes together and becomes one. This is done in order to expand the recah of a company, gain a market share, and also expand into new segments.

The plausible reasons for the limited impact of the merger will be because the merger will lead to the operation at a higher capacity which will ensure that there's cost reduction through economies of scale which will be beneficial to the consumers.

During the year a donor pledged $1,000,000 in funds to a not-for-profit private charter school. The school will receive the pled

Answer:

D) It would not be recorded.

Explanation:

FASB means Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Financial Accounting Standards Board is a private, non-profit organization standard-setting body whose primary purpose is to establish and improve Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) within the United States in the public's interest. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) designated the FASB as the organization responsible for setting accounting standards for public companies in the US.

No matter what kind of restriction a donor might impose, FASB standards require nonprofits to report finances in a way that makes it clear which funds have donor restrictions and which funds come without donor restrictions. FASB standards are in three categories: “unrestricted,” “temporarily restricted,” and “permanently restricted.”

Unrestricted are those items that have no donor-imposed restrictions

Temporarily Restricted are those items that were received with a donor-imposed restriction that will be satisfied in the future (generally within one year)

Permanently restricted assets are funds of a nonprofit organization that must be used in designated ways and whose principal cannot be touched.

Since the school will recieve the pledge ONLY if it is able to raise $500,000 in funds over the next year, then the pledge would not be recorded
