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.

You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $255,000 upfront payment from you and generates
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

6.32%

Explanation:

Bonds yield amount = $1,030 × 6.14% = $63.242

Coupon rate = Bond yield amount ÷ Par value of the bond = $63.242 ÷ $1,000 = 0.063242, or 6.32%

Therefore, the coupon rate on the bonds must be 6.32%.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Lindsey's total investment in education is $18,000.

Since Lindsey's college will cost a total of $6000 per year for the next three years, her total investment in education will be  6000*3 = 18,000.

The $26000 per year that's given in the question is the value of Lindsey's earnings if she chose to work at the local mall. This is the gain Lindsey foregoes in each of the three years in order to learn, and represents her opportunity cost or alternate costs.

Dr Copyright (Intangible Asset) $34,000

Cr Cash $34,000
