Suppose that Portugal and Switzerland both produce fish and olives. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives i

s 3 pounds of fish while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 11 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that _____________ has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and _________ has a comparative advantage in the production of fish.
Suppose that Portugal and Switzerland consider trading olives and fish with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than ___________of fish for each crate of olives it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________ of olives for each pound of fish it exports to Portugal. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of fish) would allow both Switzerland and Portugal to gain from trade?

a. 6 pounds of fish per crate of olives
b. 2 pounds of fish per crate of olives
c. 8 pounds of fish per crate of olives
d. 18 pounds of fish per crate of olives

Answer:

Portugal has comparative advantage in producing olives.

Switzerland has comparative advantage in producing fish.

Portugal can gain from trade if it receives more than 3 pounds of fish per crate of olives.

Switzerland can gain from trade if it receives more than 1/11 of olives for each pound of fish.

d. 18 pounds of fish per crate of olives.

Explanation:

Switzerland and Portugal both countries can produce Olives and fish. One country has advantage in producing fish while other has advantage in producing olives. Both countries can gain from trade if they find a intermediary way so that both countries can be in win win situation. It is beneficial for Portugal if it trades with Switzerland if it receives more than 3 pounds of fish.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

A. Customer deliveries $90

Manual order processing $74

Electronic order processing $21

Line item picking $1.95

B. CITY GENERAL

Activity cost pools City General

Customer deliveries $900

Manual order processing $0

Electronic order processing $210

Line item picking $234

Total Activity Costs $1,344

COUNTRY GENERAL

Activity cost pools Country General

Customer deliveries $1,800

Manual order processing $2,960

Electronic order processing $0

Line item picking $546

Total Activity Costs $5,306

Explanation:

a. Computation for the activity rate for each activity cost pool

Using this formula

Activity rate = Total cost / Total activity

Let plug in the formula

Activity cost pools Total Cost (a) Total activity (b) Activity rate (a/b)

Customer deliveries $630,000/ 7,000 =$90

Manual order processing $444,000/ 6,000 =$74

Electronic order processing $231,000/ 11,000 =$21

Line item picking $955,500/ 490,000=$1.95

Therefore the activity rate for each activity cost pool are:

Customer deliveries $90

Manual order processing $74

Electronic order processing $21

Line item picking $1.95

b. Computation for the total activity costs that would be assigned to City General and County General

Using this formula

Activity cost assigned = Actual activity * Activity rates

Cost drivers by product Overhead cost assigned

CITY GENERAL

Activity cost pools Activity rate (a) City General(b) City General (a*b)

Customer deliveries $90 *10 =$900

Manual order processing $74*0=$0

Electronic order processing $21* 10=$210

Line item picking $1.95*120=$234

Total Activity Costs $1,344

($900+$0+$210+$234)

COUNTRY GENERAL

Activity cost pools Activity rate (a) Country General(b) Country General (a*b)

Customer deliveries $90 *20 =$1,800

Manual order processing $74*40=$2,960

Electronic order processing $21* 0=$0

Line item picking $1.95*280=$546

Total Activity Costs $5,306

($1,800+$2,960+$0+546)

Therefore The the total activity costs that would be assigned to City General and County General

are:

CITY GENERAL

Activity cost pools City General

Customer deliveries $900

Manual order processing $0

Electronic order processing $210

Line item picking $234

Total Activity Costs $1,344

COUNTRY GENERAL

Activity cost pools Country General

Customer deliveries $1,800

Manual order processing $2,960

Electronic order processing $0

Line item picking $546

Total Activity Costs $5,306

A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows:
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: MIRR (project x ) = 3.42% , Project Y = 4.51%

Explanation:

Modified internal Rate of return

Project X

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $100 year 1 , $280 year 2 , 370 year 3 ,$700 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = 100/(1+0.08)^1 + 280/(1+0.08)^2 + 370/(1+0.08)^3 + $700/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 95.592592593 + 240.05486968 + 293.71792918 + 514.5208969

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $1143.8862884

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1  

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1143.8862884}{10000} } -1

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.034178971

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 3.41789971 = 3.42%

Project Y

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $1100 year 1 , $110 year 2 , $50 year 3 ,$55 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = $1100/(1+0.08)^1 + $110/(1+0.08)^2 + $50/(1+0.08)^3 + $55/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 1018.5185185 + 94.307270233 + 39.691612051 + 40.42641904

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $10192.9438198

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1  

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1192.9438198}{10000} } -1

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.0450931421

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = = 4.50931421 = 4.51%
