The answer is Country B
Comparative advantages can be described as a country's ability to product a certain product in higher quantities and lower price (efficiently) compared to another country.
In this case, Country A can product 100 CDs and only 100 DVDs, by while country B has the capacity to produce 50 CDs but 200 DVDs.
Clearly Country B has a better infrastructure to produce DVDs in bulk
Answer:
C. $9.50 per direct labor-hour
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)
where,
Total estimated manufacturing overhead equals to
= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Direct labor hours × variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour
= $497,000 + 70,000 × $2.40
= $497,000 + $168,000
= $665,000
And, the direct labor-hours is 70,000
So the rate is equal to
= $665,000 ÷ 70,000
= $9.5 per direct labor-hour

Answer:
3.96
Explanation:
A company's Time Interest Earned ratio shows us its ability to pay its debts.
The income before expenses is given as: $575000
The interest expenses = $145000
The question wants us to find time interest earned ratio. We get this by:
Company's initial income/interest expenses
= $575,000/$145,000
= 3.96
This is the correct answer to the question. The right answer was not listed in the options.
Answer:
Current yield is 10.3%
Explanation:
Coupon payment = 1000 x 7% = $70 annually
Number of periods = n = 20 years
Yield to maturity = 11% annually
Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Price of the Bond = $70 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 11% )^-20 ) / 11% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 11% )^20 ]
Price of the Bond = $557.43 + $124.03 = $681.46
Current yield is the ration of coupon payment to the price of the bond.
Current Yield = Coupon Payment / Price of Bond = $70 / 681.46 = 0.1027 = 10.3%
