Answer:

Lowa should produce corn; Nebraska should produce Wheat

Explanation:

Two states: Iowa and Nebraska

Same two goods are produced by both of them: Corn and wheat

For lowa,

Opportunity cost of producing wheat = 3 bushels of corn

Opportunity cost of producing corn = (1 ÷ 3) bushels of wheat

For Nebraska,

Opportunity cost of producing wheat = (1 ÷ 3) bushels of corn

Opportunity cost of producing corn = 3 bushels of wheat

According to the concept of comparative advantage, a country is exporting the commodity in which it has a comparative advantage and a country has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity is lower than the other country.

In our case, lowa should producing and exporting corn because the opportunity cost of producing corn is lower than the Nebraska and on the other hand, Nebraska should producing and exporting wheat because the opportunity cost of producing wheat is lower than the lowa.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sykora, Inc., which uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours, estimated total overhead for the year to be $12,000,000 and total direct labor hours to be 320,000 hours.

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 12,000,000/320,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

In April, Sykora incurred actual overhead costs of $1,050,000 and used 30,000 hours.

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 37.5*30,000= $1,125,000

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Over/under allocation= 1,050,000 - 1,125,000= 75,000 overallocated
