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.

Lisa [10]
The answer to this question is <span>diminishing market opportunities and stagnating sales in its principal business.
Companies should only consider diversification if the previous product that thye make is already succesful and they have enough capital to pursue another segment of the market. If the sales is still stagnant,  it best to use the capital to reinvest in the current product until the growth is assured. (or even just stop the production for that product and start pursuing another)</span>

Riverboat Adventures pays $450,000 plus $5,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land apprai
kkurt [141]

Answer:

$150,150

Explanation:

Total fair value of all assets:

= Land + Building + Paddleboats

= $67,200 + $158,400 + $254,400

= $480,000

Building accounted for:

= Fair value of building ÷ Total fair value

= $158,400 ÷ $480,000

= 33%

Therefore, the building is 33% of the total fair value of assets.

Cost of acquisition of assets:

= Amount paid + Closing cost to buy out a competitor

= 450,000 + 5,000

= $455,000

Cost to be allocated to the building:

= Cost of acquisition of assets × Percent share in total fair value

= $455,000 × 33%

= $150,150
