Answer:

B. what businesses believe will generate the most profits.

Answer:

The current ratio is 1.18 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio is that ratio which shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The computation of the current ratio is shown below

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

=  $43,500 + $27,000 + $102,000 + $125,000

= $297,500

And, the total current liabilities is $251,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $297,500 ÷ $251,000

= 1.18 times

The long term note payable is not a current liabilities,hence it is not considered in the computation part.

Suppose that the united states and canada each produce only two products, televisions and food. The united states can produce 10
Alex

Answer: Trade between the two countries is beneficial when United States trade food to Canada and Canada would trade televisions to the United States.

Explanation: In international trade, each country will produce a good in which it has a comparative advantage (lower opportunity cost).

Opportunity cost of food is,

Unites states = \frac{100}{150} = 0.66

Canada = \frac{300}{330} = 0.90

Opportunity cost of television is,

Unites states = \frac{150}{100} = 1.5

Canada = \frac{330}{300} = 1.1

Since, opportunity cost of food is lower in the United states, United states will export food.

Opportunity cost of television is lower in Canada, Canada will export television to the United States.
