Answer: B. Mexico has a comparative advantage in grain production.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage simply means when an economy can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another economy.

From the information given, since Canada can produce 15units of timber or 3 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 15/3 = 5 timber

On the other hand, Mexico can produce 6 units of timber or 2 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 6/2 = 3 timber.

Therefore, Mexico haa a comparative advantage in grain based on the above.

Answer:

10-Day 99% VaR = 3.61

Explanation:

Data Given:

For First Option:

Stock Price = 50

Strike Price = 51

Volatility = 28% per annum

Time to maturity = 9 months

For Second Option:

Stock Price = 20

Strike Price = 19

Volatility = 25% per annum

Time to maturity = 12 months or 1 year

Risk Free Rate = 6% per annum

Correlation = 0.4

Find 10-day 99% VaR.

Solution:

First of all we need to refer the DerivaGem Model to dig out the change in price equation for both the options.

So, according to DerivaGem Model, We have following data:

For First Option:

Value  = -5.413

Delta Value = -0.589

For Second Option:

Value = -1.014

Delta = -0.284

Change in Price = (Delta value of First Option x Stock Price)Y1 + (Delta value of the second option x Stock Price)Y2

Change in Price = (-0.589 x 50)Y1 + (-0.284 x 20)Y2

So, We will get the Change in Price Linear Equation for both the options.

Change in Price = -29.45Y1 -5.68Y2

Now, we have to calculate the Daily Volatility Percentage.

Formula:

Daily Volatility Percentage = Volatility/ Square root of number of days active in annum

Number of Days Active = 252

Volatility for First Option = 28%

Volatility for Second Option = 25%

Daily Volatility Percentage for First Option = 28%/\sqrt{252}

Daily Volatility Percentage for First Option = 0.0176

Similarly,

Daily Volatility Percentage for Second Option = 25%/\sqrt{252}

Daily Volatility Percentage for Second Option = 0.0157

Now, utilizing the above calculated data, we can find the one-day variance of change in price.

1-Day Variance =(29.45^{2} *0.0176^{2}) + (5.68^{2} * 0.0157^{2}) - (2 * 29.45 * 0.0176 * 5.68 * 0.0157 * 0.4)

Solving the above equation:

We get:

1-Day Variance = 0.2396

Now, we have to find the standard deviation of 1-Day Variance:

SD of 1-Day Variance = \sqrt{0.2396}

SD of 1-Day Variance = 0.4895

So,

Now, in order to find the value of one day 99% VaR from the table, we have all the prerequisites.

So,

Value of One day 99% VaR from table = 2.33

But we need 10-Day 99% VaR.

So, number of days = 10

Hence,

10-Day 99% VaR = 0.4895 * 2.33 * \sqrt{10}

10-Day 99% VaR = 3.61

quizlet If a country can produce more of a good or service, it has a(n) advantage. If the country can produce a good or service
poizon [28]

If the country can produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost, it has a comparative advantage.

<h3>What is comparative advantage?</h3>
  • In an economic model, agents have a comparative advantage over others if they can produce that good at a lower relative opportunity cost or autarky price, i.e. at a lower relative marginal cost prior to the trade.
  • Comparative advantage describes the economic reality of trade advantages for people, firms, or nations as a result of disparities in their factor endowments or technological progress.
  • (The absolute advantage, comparing output per time (labor efficiency) or per quantity of raw material (monetary efficiency), is typically considered more intuitive but less accurate – productive trade is possible as long as the opportunity costs of manufacturing commodities vary between countries.)

Therefore, if the country can produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost, it has a comparative advantage.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Increase by $37,100.

It will accept any time the price is above $43 with the condition it will not incur in additional fixed cost.

$63. is the sales price that generates 106,000 dollar of operating income

Explanation:

As the units will not inccur in any additional fixed cost we should check for the contribution margin this units will provide:

50 dollars - 43 dollar of variable cost = 7 dollars

5,300 saws x $7 = 37,100

The sales reveues will increase by that amount.

(5,300 x $43 dollars each in cost + 106,000 contribution )/5,300 = sales price

sales price = 63

horrorfan [7]

Based on the amount of raw materials requisitioned, the journal entry to debit the Manufacturing Overhead would be $4,000.

<h3>What amount would be debited to manufacturing overhead?</h3>

The manufacturing overhead is for expenses that are not directly involved in the manufacturing process.

This is why it is the indirect material amount of $4,000 that will be debited to the manufacturing overhead account.
