Which is an example of a meta-search engine?

Alabama and Mississippi each have 9 units of labor. They can use their units of labor for the production of chickens and cotton.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

As it is given that

1. For each unit of labor, Alabama will generate 3 units of chicken.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 27 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

2. With every unit of labor, Alabama will generate 7 units of cotton.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 63 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor, Mississippi will generate 4 units of chicken.

Therefore Mississippi can produce a maximum of 36 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor, Mississippi will produce 6 units of cotton.

While Mississippi can produce up to 54 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

Alabama could be seen producing more cotton than Mississippi using all the labor while using all the labor Mississippi can produce more chicken than Alabama.

Hence,

For producing chicken, Mississippi has the absolute advantage

For producing cotton, Alabama has the absolute advantage

Now

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (7 ÷ 3)

= 2.33 units of cotton.

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a cotton unit is

= (3 ÷ 7)

= 0.43 units of chicken.

Mississippi's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (6 ÷ 4)

= 1.50 units of cotton.

Mississippi's opportunity cost of generating a cotton unit is

= (4 ÷ 6)

= 0.67 units of chicken

Therefore

Alabama can produce cotton relatively to Mississippi at a lower cost of opportunity.

In comparison with Alabama, Mississippi can produce chicken at lower opportunity costs.

Hence, we can conclude that

Mississippi has a competitive advantage for chicken production.

Alabama has a competitive advantage in cotton production.

Mississippi is supposed to grow chicken and Alabama is supposed to make cotton.

Outsourcing is becoming more and more common, but it is a controversial idea in the United States. Why do you think this is such

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Outsourcing is a contested idea because the original company loses control of the job they are trying to complete. Outsourcing is a bad idea because it also causes jobs to be lost. (you might want to change the wording a bit.)

If the par value of a stock is $5 and the offering price of the stock is $2, the capital in excess of par is:

mr_godi [17]

You cannot compute for the capital in excess of par since you don’t have the number of shares but let us assume there are 100,000 shares.

If the Company sell 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 per share, and the par value of each share is $5, then the amount of the capital in excess of par is 100,000 shares x $3/share, = 300,000 and is recorded:

Cash 500,000

Common stock ($2 x 100000) 200000

Additional Paid-In Capital($3 x 100000) 300000

A five-year project has a projected net cash flow of $15,000, $25,000, $30,000, $20,000, and $15,000 in the next five years. It

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The value of Net present value is $12,895.45.

Given that

initial investment = $50,000

1st-year cash flow = $15,000

2nd-year cash flow =$ 25,000

3rd-year cash flow =$ 30,000

4th-year cash flow = $20,000

5th-year cash flow = $15,000

rate = 20%

using formula

$NPV = \frac{R}{({1+i})^t}$

$NPV = \frac{15000}{({1+0.20})^5}\\NPV = 12895.45$

<h3>What is Net Present value?</h3>

The current value of a future stream of payments from a business, project, or investment is determined using net present value, or NPV.
You must predict the timing and size of future cash flows in order to determine NPV, and you must choose a discount rate that is equal to the least allowable rate of return.
Your cost of capital or the rewards offered by substitute investments with comparable risk may be reflected in the discount rate.
Positive NPV indicates that the rate of return on a project or investment will be higher than the discount rate.
