Answer:

If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative​ advantage, ______.

Mary would specialize in making cakes while Tim would specialize in making pies.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mary's opportunity cost of making a cake = 2 pies

She can make additional 5 (10/2) cakes instead of making pies

This will increase her cakes to 25 a day (20 + 5)

Tim's opportunity cost of making a cake = 4 pies

She can make additional 40 pies (10 * 4) instead of making cakes

This will increase her pies to 60 pies a day (20 + 40)

When they specialize there will be 25 cakes and 60 pies produced in a day instead of 30 cakes and 30 pies.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Residual income= $36,000

Explanation:

Residual income is the income that is generated in excess of the minimum required rate of return, which in this case is 10%. Any income above 10% return is considered as residual income. In this case the investment is 1,800,000 and 10% of that is 180,000 (0.1*1,800,000). So any income made above $180,000 will be residual income. In order to find the residual income we subtract the minimum income required from the actual income.

In this case the minimum income required is 180,000 and the actual operating income is 216,000 so residual income=

216,000-180,000= $36,000

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage.

Explanation:

The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.

The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:

1. The bargaining power of suppliers.

2. The bargaining power of customers.

3. Threat posed by substitute products.

4. Threats posed by new entrants.

5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.

The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually the competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. When the amount of competitors (sellers), as well as the quantity of goods and services they provide are large, the lesser their competitive strengths or advantage in the market because the customers have a large pool of finished goods and services to choose from and vice-versa.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The answer is: Compensation

Explanation:

Compensation is not only the money you earn as a salary for the job you perform. It is the total amount of monetary (salary) and non-monetary benefits provided to an employee by his employer.

Non-monetary benefits include perks which aren't part of the salary but have real value for the employees.

The problem for small companies is that their pockets aren't as deep as corporate pockets, so they can offer limited compensation (both monetary and non-monetary).
