The nations of Pamland and Lillytonia can produce two goods, DVD

Business
1 answer:
vampirchik [111]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The best deal would be option B) that is

Lillytonia sells 1/4 bushels of wheat to Pam land and gets 1 DVD player in return.

Explanation:

STEP 1

The output of DVD per unit of labor for Pamland = 150.

The output of Bushels of wheat per unit of labor for Pamland= 300.

The output of DVD per unit of labor for Lillytonia = 200.

The output of Bushels of wheat per unit of labor for Lillytonia= 600.

STEP 2

To calculate the comparative advantage, we use the following formula:

Comparative Advantage = DVD Output / Wheat Output

STEP 3

In Pamland, the opportunity cost, or the comparative advantage, of DVD is

300 / 150 = 2 bushels of wheat.

The opportunity cost of wheat in Pamland is 120/ 300 = 0.5 DVDs.

In Lillytonia the opportunity cost, or comparative advantage, of DVD is 600/200 = 3 bushels of wheat, while

The opportunity cost of wheat in Lillytonia is 200/600 = 1/3 or 0.33333 DVDs

STEP 4

As is clear from the calculations, Pamland should produce more wheat because it has the lower opportunity cost during production 2 against 3 for Lillytonia. Conversly, Lillytonia has the lowest opportunity cost for the production of DVD clocking 1/3 against a higher 1/2 for Pamland.

The countries should therefore trade in such a way that Pamlan is selling it's Wheat while Lillytonia is selling it's DVDs.

STEP 5

Given that Pamland's 2 bushels of wheat will cost it 0.5 DVDs, 4 bushels will thus cost it 1 DVD. It is impracticable (in any case) to have 1/2 of a DVD player.

In 2013, Chandler Company had net credit sales of $1,125,000. On January 1, 2013, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit b
mezya [45]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $33,000

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $33,000

Explanation:

The question states that the allowance for doubtful debts are expected to be 10% of the accounts receivables. As at 31 December, accounts receivables is $330,000

This means that the allowance for doubtful debts is it is: $330,000 x 10%= $33,000

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 10% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply an estimation made, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The entry to record the above transaction is:

Debit : Bad Debts = $33,000

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $33,000

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.

Why do businesses take financial cost into account other than social cost when making decisions.
deff fn [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Why do businesses take financial costs into account other than social costs when making decisions.?

The reason why is because businesses are created to make profits. And financial costs directly impact sales, revenue, and profits. Any other consideration that does not directly affect the balance sheet or the bottom line, is not considered a priority and takes the back seat when business decisions are made.

On the other hand, the social cost should be important and it is, but not as important as the financial costs for the above-mentioned reasons.

Social costs are more on the side of the ethics of the managers or leaders of the organizations. And ethics and moral values are not a prominent thing to be considered in the decision-making process of modern corporations.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Balance with Fed on last day to be $ 800

Explanation:

Computation of balance on last day of maintenance period

Balance maintained   $ 450 for 2 days                                 $   900

                                    $ 700 for 3 days                                 $ 2,100

                                    $  650 for 2 days                                $ 1,300                                    

                                    $ 450 for 3 days                                 $ 1,350

                                    $ 650 for 3 days                                 <u>$ 1.950</u>

Average of balances maintained

                                                    13 days                                $ 7,600

Average balance maintenance required for 13 + last day)

$ 600 * (13 + 1) 14 days                                                            $ 8,400

so the balance with the Fed on the last day has to be

$ 8,400 - $ 7,600                                                                 $ 800
