Answer:

SHEILA

Explanation:

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

Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25

Jim's opportunity  cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33

Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries

Using accrual accounting, expenses are recorded and reported only: _A. when they are incurred and paid at the same time. B. if t
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

C. when they are incurred, whether or not cash is paid.

Explanation:

In accrual accounting, expenses are recorded in the moment they are incurred, even if they have not been paid for.

In fact, the term "accrued expense" means an expense that has been incurred, but not yet paid.

One common example of an accrued expense is accrued wages:

Suppose that a firm hires a worker on March 1, for a wage of $1,000 dollars per month, that is due to be paid at the end of the month (March 31). This worker is earning $33 per day. By March 4, the firm should have recorded accrued wages for $132 ($33 x 4 days) even if no payments will be made until March 31.

Which of the following is an INCORRECT statement regarding the right to stop delivery of goods in​ transit? A. If the lessee rep
Verizon [17]

Answer:

B. The lessor does not have the right to stop delivery in transit due to the​ lessee's breach of the lease​ agreement; instead, the lessor must deliver the goods to the lessee in spite of the​ breach, and then sue the lessee for damages.

Explanation:

During the transit of goods, if the lessor learns of a breach of the lease agreement, he has every right to stop the delivery of the goods in transit by notifying  the goods carrier or bailee. Since the carrier of the goods reports directly to the lessor, once he receives instructions from the lessor to stop delivery of goods, and he still has sufficient time, the delivery should be stopped.

Once the goods are reclaimed, the lessor can then decide to sue to recover damages. He can also, decide to cancel the contract at that point

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

D. $28

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Cost price = $20

Markup = 40%

To find the selling price;

Markup price = 40/100 * 20

Markup price = 800/100

Markup price = $8

Next, we would add the markup to the cost price;

Selling price = markup price + cost price

Selling price = 8 + 20

Selling price = $28

Therefore, the price of each pair of jeans is $28.
