Assume both Atlantis and Zanadu produce helmets and baseballs. Using equal amounts of resources, Atlantis can produce 100 helmet

s or 200 baseballs, whereas Zanadu can produce 100 helmets or 400 baseballs.
Required:
a. Assume both Atlantis and Zanadu experience constant opportunity costs in producing helmets and baseballs. Draw a correctly labeled graph illustrating the production possibilities curves (PPCs) for Atlantis and Zanadu, showing helmets on the horizontal axis and baseballs on the vertical axis. Plot the numerical values provided above on your graph.
b. Calculate the opportunity cost of one helmet for Atlantis. Show your work.
c. Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of baseballs?
d. Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of baseballs? Explain.
e. If Atlantis and Zanadu specialize based on comparative advantage and trade, would they be able to gain from trade if the terms of trade are 1 helmet for 3 baseballs? Explain.

Answer:

a) see attached image

b) Atlantis's opportunity cost of producing one helmet = 200 / 100 = 2 baseballs

c and d) Atlantis's opportunity cost of producing one baseball = 100 / 200 = 0.5 helmets

Zanadu's opportunity cost of producing one baseball = 100 / 400 = 0.25 helmets ⇒ Zanadu has a comparative and absolute advantage in the production of baseballs

e) yes, Atlantis would produce 100 helmets, and if it trades 50 to Zanadu, it will get 150 baseballs in return. So it will gain from trade. If Zanadu produces 400 baseballs and trades 150 of them for 50 helmets, it will also benefit.

a) Data and Calculations:

Product  Inventory    Cost per Unit  Market Value per Unit     LCNRV

              Quantity                              (Net Realizable Value)

Model A       12                $106                   $102                  $1,225 (12*$102)

Model B      45                    84                       70                     3,150 (45*$70)

Model C     36                  254                    243                     8,748 (36*$243)

Model D     31                     85                      88                     2,635 (31*$88)

Model E     41                    132                    148                      5,412 (41*$132)

City Foods, is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm just paid a dividend of $2.00 yesterday. They expect to see th
slega [8]

Answer:

The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $45 per share.

Explanation:

To calculate the current share price or the maximum that should be paid for the stock today, we will use the dividend discount model approach.

The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.

The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +

[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n

Where,

g1 is initial growth rate

g2 is the constant growth rate

r is the required rate of return

So, the price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 2 * (1+0.20) / (1+0.12)  +  2 * (1+0.20)^2 / (1+0.12)^2  +    

[( 2 * (1+0.20)^2 * (1+0.06)) / (0.12 - 0.06)] / (1+0.12)^2

P0 = $45

dsp73

Answer:

A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the firm can sell as much output as it chooses at the current price.

Explanation:

The perfectly elastic demand implies that the demand curve is horizontal line parallel to the X axis. The price is fixed at a point and the firm can sell any amount of output at this point. The demand is infinite at the given price level. If the firm makes any changes in this price level, the demand will become zero.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

D) An illusory promise

Explanation:

An illusory promise is not enforceable. Illusory promises are simply illusions that seem or appear to a contract, but are not.

In this case, there is no consideration at all, therefore none of the parties is bound by a contract. It would be different if the company promised to pay a bonus if its profits are xx%. How can someone determine what is considered high profits, and how can you be sure that management will agree?

It is basically like telling someone else that you will give them something if you are happy and willing to do it. How can someone determine if you are happy or not, and how can someone know if you are willing to do it or not?
