The answer is Country B
Comparative advantages can be described as a country's ability to product a certain product in higher quantities and lower price (efficiently) compared to another country.
In this case, Country A can product 100 CDs and only 100 DVDs, by while country B has the capacity to produce 50 CDs but 200 DVDs.
Clearly Country B has a better infrastructure to produce DVDs in bulk
Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
The interest earned by the Sherwood Day Corporation is calculated by subtracting from the net income all the expenses including the interest expense and the tax expense. Mathematically,
interest earned = $200,000 - ($40,000 + $30,000)
= $130,000
