Answer:

b. allows people to specialize according to comparative advantage.

Explanation:

A trade can be defined as the process that typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a buyer (consumer) and a seller (producer).

Trade can make everybody better off because it allows people to specialize according to comparative advantage.

This ultimately implies that, trade creates an enabling environment that suits a specific service provider or producer of a particular product.

<em>The cost of goods available for sale is the sum of the value of the opening inventory plus the cost of new purchase. The cost of new purchase would include carriage inward cost if any.</em>

<em>For Oriole company , the cost of goods available for sale would be computed as follows:</em>

                                                                           $

Opening inventory                                            2,340

Purchases

June 12                5,460

June 23               <u> 4,680 </u>                                 <u> 10,140</u>

Cost of goods available for sale                     <u>12,480</u>

<em>Note that the sales made are not relevant for the purpose of determining the cost of goods available for sale. Also, the closing inventory would have been deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to arrive at the cost of goods sold should the question require it.</em>

Jim Busby calls his broker to inquire about purchasing a bond of Disk Storage Systems. The broker quotes a price of $1,180. Jim
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Jim Busby and Bonds of Disk Storage Systems

The new price of the bond is:

= $21,059

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quoted price of bond = $1,180

Face value of bond = $1,000

Coupon interest rate = 14%

Bond's maturity period = 25 years

Current yield to maturity = 12%

Therefore, new price of the bond is computed as follows:

Bond Price = C* (1-(1+r)-n/r ) + F/(1+r)n

where C = Periodic coupon payment = $140 ($1,000 * 14%)

• F = Face / Par value of bond = $1,000

• r = Yield to maturity (YTM) = 12% and

• n = No. of periods till maturity = 25 years

= $140 * (1 – (1+0.12)^-25)/0.12 +$1000/(1+0.12)^25

= $140 * (1 - -17.00)/0.12 + $1,000/17.00

= $140 * (18.00)/0.12 + $1,000/17.00

= $140 * 150 + $59

= $21,000 + $59

= $21,059

Suppose that Spain and Denmark both produce jeans and olives. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pairs
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and

c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Explanation:

                 Olives       Jeans      Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)

Spain            1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Denmark      1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other,  in Olive & Jeans respectively.

Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.

  • '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
  • '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans  

'4 jeans pairs per olive crate'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:

  • 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).  
  • 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)

The Typhoon Resort, which has 100 rooms, has currently been experiencing an occupancy dip to a 60.00% level. The current rack ra
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

the current total contribution margin = 100 x 60% x ($80 - $20) = $3,600 per day

scenario 1: $10 discount

$3,600 = 100 x ?% x ($70 - $20)

$3,600 = $5,000 x ?%

$3,600 / $5,000 = ?%

occupancy rate = 72%

scenario 2: 10% discount

$3,600 = 100 x ?% x ($72 - $20)

$3,600 = $5,200 x ?%

$3,600 / $5,200 = ?%

occupancy rate = 69.23%
