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.

Consider a mutual fund with $300 million in assets at the start of the year and 10 million shares outstanding. The fund invests
djyliett [7]

Answer: Start = $300 million

End = $318.59 million

Explanation:

NAV can be calculated by dividing the funds Assets net of Liabilities by the total number of outstanding shares.

At start of the year NAV is $300 million and NAV per share is therefore,

= 300 million/ 10 million

= $30 per share.

Ending NAV

During the year the fund made Investments and increased by a price of 7%

= 300 million (1 + 0.07)

= $321 million

We still have to subtract the 12b-1 fees that the fund charges though and that would result in,

= 321 million * (1 - 0.0075)

= 318.5925

= $318.59 million.

Dividing this by the total number of outstanding shares we have,

= 318.59 /10

= $31.86

$31.86 is the NAV per share at year end.

Why might the current and quick ratios for the electric utility and the​ fast-food stock be so much lower than the same ratios f
yulyashka [42]

Current ratio is a comparison of current assets to current liabilities, calculated by dividing your current assets by your current liabilities.

The quick ratio compares the total amount of cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable to the amount of current liabilities.

A. Inventory would be a factor in both of these ration (assets). In both of these industries, inventory would be low. You cannot readily stockpile energy and burgers are perishable items.

B. It is true that both of these industries would have low outstanding accounts receivable because people will need their power to survive and fast food places don't offer credit.

C. These two industries deal with cash mainly. Cash doesn't have to be physical currency, but accounts that can easily be paid.

D. Low current and quick ratios are actually signs of good management not poor management.

All of the above are correct EXCEPT answer D.

Phil purchased a car today at a price of $8,500. He paid $300 down in cash and financed the balance for 36 months at 5.75 percen
Yanka [14]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 248.53}}

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the <em>monthly payment</em> for fixed-rate loans is:

     Monthly\text{ }payment=Loan\times \bigg[\dfrac{r(1+r)^t}{(1+r)^t-1}\bigg]

Where:

  • Loan = $8500 - $300 = 8,200
  • r is the monthly interest = 5.75% / 12 = 0.0575/12 ≈ 0.00479
  • t is the number of moths = 36

Substituting:

Monthly\text{ }payment=\$8,200\times \bigg[\dfrac{(0.0575/12)(1+(0.0575/12))^{36}}{(1+(0.0575/12))^{36}-1}\bigg]=\$ 248.53

Lump-sum taxes are rarely used in the real world because:_______________
labwork [276]

Answer:

c. lump-sum taxes are often viewed as unfair because they take the same amount of money from both poor and rich.

Explanation:

To understand this question, you have to first understand what lump-sum taxes are.

Lump-sum taxes are a system of taxes where everybody pays the same amount of tax no matter their economic status, or their actions. Basically, lump-sum taxes take the same amount of money from the rich and the poor, hugely increasing the burden on the poor and lessening that of the rich.

As an example, a lump-sum tax of $100 would require everybody to pay $100. To a person earning, say $120, that would be a huge hit, and be a huge burden on his normal life. However, to a rich person who earns, say, $10000, that would be much more easier for the rich person.

Hence, lump-sum taxes are often viewed as unfair because of the unfair advantage the rich have over the poor in tax-paying.

Hope this helped!
