Answer:

Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.

When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.

However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Since the lease amount varies, we must calculate the annual rental income using the following formula:

annual rental income = {lease year 1 - (lease year 1 x 6/12) + [lease year 2(and beyond) x number of remaining contract years] / total number of contract years}

annual rental income = [$8,000 - ($8,000 x 6/12) + ($12,500 x 4)] / 5 years = {$8,000 - $4,000 + $50,000} / 5 years = $54,000 / 5 = $10,800

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $195 and $150, respectively. Each product uses only o
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Alpha = $195

Beta = $150

total production capacity = 123,000 pounds

raw materials = $5 per pound

Production costs per unit                        Alpha                Beta

direct materials                                          $40                   $15

direct labor                                                 $34                   $28

variable manufacturing overhead            $22                   $20  

fixed manufacturing overhead                 $30                   $33

variable selling expenses                         $27                   $23

common fixed expenses                          $30                   $25  

total cost per unit                                     $183                  $144

1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound               <u> $9</u>                  <u>$21.33</u>

2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound                $9                  $21.33

production (in units)                                2,500              75,000

profits                                                    $30,000          $450,000

total profits                                                   <u>$480,000</u>

3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound                $9                  $21.33

production (in units)                                2,500              75,000

contribution margin                             $180,000      $4,800,000

total contribution margin                            <u>$4,980,000</u>

4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?

If it wants to increase the production of Alpha, it could pay as much as ($195 - $183) / 8 = $1.50 extra per pound if it wants to maximize profits. Maximum price = $6.50 per pound. At this point, marginal revenue = price.
