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.

Airida [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": They can effectively leverage the national and local advertising programs sponsored by the franchiser.

Explanation:

A franchise is a business, in which a franchisee acquires access to the franchisor's proprietary knowledge, processes, and trademarks. The franchisee buys the right under an established brand name to sell a product or service. Consumers already know the brand, so no additional resources must be used to launch the product.

Thus, <em>Celine is correct by arguing that by franchising Nava, Gina and her can take advantage of the domestic and international advertising programs of the firm.</em>

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Units of production method: $76,820

Explanation:

The three most common depreciation methods are: straight line, double-declining, and units of production. We will calculate the depreciation expense for each.

Straight line method:

Depreciable amount= cost - residual value

                                 = 240,000 - 40,000

                                = 200,000

Depreciation by year = depreciable amount / years of useful life

                                   = 200,000 / 8

                                   = 25,000

Double declining method

Depreciation per year = depreciable amount x (2 / useful life in years)

                      = 200,000 x (2 / 8)

                      = 50,000

Units of production method

Depreciation per unit  = depreciable amount / hours of operation

                                     = 200,000 / 12,000

                                     = 16.7

Total depreciation = depreciation per unit x actual units of operation

                              = 16.7 x 2,400 + 2,200

                              = 16.7 x 4,600

                              = 76.820

Therefore, the units of production method results in the highest depreciation expense among the three.

If there is a recessionary gap in the short​ run, the Federal Reserve can eliminate the gap in the short run by undertaking a po
NeTakaya

Answer:

D. harms the society by interfering with the economy's natural process.

Explanation:

In order to get out of recession, the fed should reduce the tax rates, which would in return lead to higher disposable income of the consumers, and then there will be an increase in the demand.

On the other hand the sale of bonds would even further increase the recession, as there will be more cash crunch in the economy. A decrease in reserve ratio will be a long time taking solution, so it would not provide an immediate solution.

MCQ

But, if the fed interferes with the short run equilibrium in the hope of giving short run benefits, it will hamper the economy's natural process to attain a new equilibrium as discussed in the paragraph above. Hence, option D is the correct answer

Option A and C are incorrect, because, employment is not much affected with lowering of income tax. On, the other hand, inflation levels rise, when there is a cut in income tax, as it gives more currency in the economy, hence even C is incorrect.
