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.

How much water needs to be mixed with three liters of
irinina [24]

Answer:

The volume of water needed=0.86 liters

Explanation:

Step 1: Form an equation

The equation can be expressed as follows;

(Ac×Va)+(Wc+Vw)=Fc(Va+Vw)

where;

Ac=initial concentration of antifreeze

Va=volume of antifreeze in liters

Wc=concentration of water

Vw=volume of the water in liters

Fc=final concentration of the antifreeze

This expression can be written as;

(concentration of antifreeze×volume of antifreeze in liters)+(concentration of water×volume of the water)=final concentration of the antifreeze(volume of antifreeze in liters+volume of the water in liters)

In our case;

Ac=45%=45/100=0.45

Va=3 liters

Wc=0

Vw=unknown

Fc=35%=35/100=0.35

Replacing;

(0.45×3)+(0×Vw)=0.35(3+Vw)

1.35=1.05+0.35 Vw

0.35 Vw=1.35-1.05

0.35 Vw=0.30

Vw=0.3/0.35=0.86

Vw=0.86 liters

The volume of water needed=0.86 liters

Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $150,000 and $40,000 was indirect.

This $40,000 indirect payroll cost will be treated as Factory overhead and will be debited.
