Answer:

a. 2,142 million pounds of food

b. 4,284,000 people

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the additional costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.

In this case, a person from North Korea could be working as a farmer instead of being a soldier. Opportunity cost per soldier = 1,800 pounds of food per year. Total opportunity cost of North Korea's army = 1,800 pounds x 1,190,000 soldiers = 2,142 million pounds of food

this is equivalent to feeding 2,142,000,000 / 500 = 4,284,000 people

kozerog [31]

Answer: Option D  

Explanation: In simple words, technology upgrading refers to the process in which a firm intensely changes the level of technology it is using for its operations. In such a process the organisation implements a more advanced technology so that it can enhance the operational activities within.

Technology up gradation is a necessity in today's competitive business environment but if implemented in a right way it can give an organisation a strong competitive advantage which will open new doors to success.

     For example automobile industries upgraded their technology to a higher level which made the operation at such a high scale that it became an oligopoly industry.

An oligopoly industry is the one in which there are few firms operating at a high scale with difficulty in entry due to heavy investments.

Libby Company purchased equipment by paying $6,700 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $6,700 every six months during th
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The answer is $53,732.

Explanation:

The value of the equipment reported on Libby Company's balance sheet is equal to:

Cash payment at purchase + Present value of 8 equal semiannual payment, $6,700 each discounted at 3% ( because semiannual payment is made for 4 years so we have 2 x4 = 8 payments; and annual borrowing rate is 6% so we have discount rate = 6% /2 = 3%).

with:

Cash payment at purchase = $6,700;

Present value of 8 equal semiannual payment, $6,700 each discounted at 3% = (6,700/3%) x ( 1 - 1.03^(-8) ) = $47,032 ( that is, apply the formula to find present value of annuity).

we have:

The value of the equipment reported on Libby Company's balance sheet = 6,700 + 47,032 = $53,732.
