Nick and Beth run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and

parties. It takes Nick 8 hours to prepare food for an event and 4 hours of effort to get each new client. For Beth, it takes 12 hours to prepare food for an event and 3 hours to get a new client.
1. Who has an absolute advantage in food preparation?
2. Who has a comparative advantage in food preparation?
Suppose that initially, Nick and Beth are both splitting both tasks for a large number of events. Then they decide to start shifting some work according to the principle of comparative advantage. In particular, the person with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event, and the other person will use the freed-up time to get more clients. As a result, the total number of events for which food is prepared will remain unchanged, but the number of new clients will increase by __?__.
The second part threw me off and I got confused. I put up the entire problem just to see if i answered it correctly or not to see whether that was what threw me off or not. Thanks in advance! :)

Answer:

NICK

NICK

2

Explanation:

A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries

Nick prepares food in 8 hours while Beth produces the food in 12 hours. ick thus has an absolute advantage in food preparation because he produces food in less time

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

Opportunity cost of Nick in food preparation = 4/8 = 0.5 hours

Opportunity cost of Beth in food preparation = 3 / 12 = 0.25 hours

Nick has a comparative advantage in food preparation

valina [46]
<h2>Direct to the maintenance department</h2>

Explanation:

Jane here works only in the Maintenance department. The work that he does supports both Production as well as Research. We can calculate the expenses, only by associating the department of the employee.

So, the wages should be directly associated to the maintenance department only.

We cannot add one cost to multiple department and it is not the right approach of accounting system. So the below becomes invalid.

<em>Indirect to the production department Direct to the research department Direct to the production department Indirect to the research department</em>

Clay is a marketing student learning how to evaluate value propositions for effectiveness. He looked through ten different propo
Pepsi [2]

Answer: they were generic, and they had no unique value communicated

Explanation:

Value proposition refers to the promise

that's made by an organization to its customers indicating why a product should be bought.

Since Clay looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective, the reason attributed to this will be due to the fact that the propositions were generic, and had no unique value communicated.

Sebastian purchases two pieces of equipment for $100,000. Appraisals of the equipment indicate that the fair market value of the

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000
