Answer:

Martha can produce 70 quilts or 140 batches of chocolate chip cookies:

Opportunity cost of producing a quilt = (140 ÷ 70)

                                                              = 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies

Opportunity cost of producing a batch of chocolate chip cookie = (70 ÷ 140)

                                                              = 0.5 quilts

Jane can produce 8 quilts or 24 batches of chocolate chip cookies:

Opportunity cost of producing a quilt = (24 ÷ 8)

                                                              = 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies

Opportunity cost of producing a batch of chocolate chip cookie = (8 ÷ 24)

                                                              = 0.33 quilts

Therefore, the comparative advantage is as follows:

Martha has a comparative advantage in producing quilt because it has a lower opportunity cost of producing quilt than Jane.

Jane has a comparative advantage in producing chocolate chip cookies because it has a lower opportunity cost of producing chocolate chip cookies than Martha.

Absolute advantage:

Martha has an absolute advantage in producing both the commodities because she can produce more amount of both the goods from the same level of resources as compared to Jane.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

no option is correct

Explanation:

stocks to be distributed = 13,000 x 12% = 1,560

1,560 stocks x $22 = $34,320

  • 1,560 x $6 = $9,360
  • 1,560 x ($22 - $6) = $24,960

the journal entry to record the declaration of a small stock dividend (less than 20% of outstanding stocks) should be:

    Cr Common stock dividend distributable (1,560 x $6) 9,360

    Cr Additional paid in capital 24,960

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Firms make normal profits

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is characterized by many firms selling similar but differentiated products. Each firm sets its price because they sell slightly different products. There are insignificant or no barriers to entry or exit in a monopolistic competition.

It is possible to make abnormal profits in monopolistic competition in the short run. Due to ease of entry and exit, a firm with abnormal profits will face competition from new entrants. In the long-run, no firm will dominate the market, which means all firms will be making normal profits.

Difference between private and public company
djyliett [7]

<span>The difference between a privately-held and public company is that the owners of the private company are the company’s founders or a group of private investors while in the public company, the company has undergone an initial public offering that means the company sold a portion of its shares to the public. The management of a public company is answerable to the shareholders as opposed to the private company. A public company sells the shares of stock and is listed in the stock exchange while a private company is unlisted. </span>

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: Participation

Explanation:

Participation financing is a firm of financing whereby a loan is shared by several parties because such loans are too huge and a party cannot take the loan alone.

To display desserts in restaurants, Mario Sclafani ordered refrigeration units from Felix Storch, Inc. Felix faxed a credit appl
Illusion [34]

Sclafani is a disclosed principal

<u>Principals are liable for contracts made by an agent when that contract was authorized by the principal. </u>

Explanation:

1) Who was the principal?

Sclafani is a disclosed principal

<u>Principals are liable for contracts made by an agent when that contract was authorized by the principal. </u>

<u> </u>

2) Who is the agent?

<u>The office worker </u>

3) Who is the third party?

<u>When a third party, in this case Felix, enters into a contract with a disclosed principal, in this case Sclafani, who is liable on the contract the principal alone </u>

In this case Felix alleged that Sclafani authorized the officer worker to sign and fax the credit application back to Felix. Felix likely alleged that in the event Sclafani did not give actual authority to the officer worker, the officer worker had apparent authority to contract with Felix.

Apparent authority is established when the principal leads a reasonably prudent person to justifiably believe that an agent has authority to act.
