Answer:

US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.

Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)

China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.

However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$1,524 underapplied

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Estimated Activity.

                                                  = $560,324 ÷ 22,060

                                                  = $25.40

Applied Overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity

                                 = $25.40 × 22,000

                                = $558,800

<em>Where,</em>

Actual Overheads are  $560,324 (given)

<em>Conditions :</em>

If Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads, we say overheads are under-applied and if Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads, we say that overheads are over-applied.

<em>Therefore ,</em>

In our case, Actual Overheads : $560,324 > Applied Overheads : $558,800. Overheads have been under-applied by $1,524 ($560,324 - $558,800).

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

D. 9.44%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:

Weighted average cost of capital is

= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt + cost of equity × weight of equity

= 8% × (1 - 0.30) × 40% + 12% × 60%

= 2.24% + 7.2%

= 9.44%

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 9.44%

Therefore the right option is D.

Select the correct statement regarding the contribution margin ratio. Multiple Choice The contribution margin ratio equals contr
Art [367]

Answer:

The contribution margin ratio can be calculated using either total amounts or per unit amounts.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio = \frac{Contribution\:per\:unit}{Selling\:price\:per\:unit}

This can even be done by \frac{Total\:Contribution\:}{Total\:Sales}

This will calculate contribution as a percentage of Sales, with this margin ratio we get break even sales value, and not the units.

Whenever there is an increase in variable cost it decreases the contribution.

Therefore, correct statement is

The contribution margin ratio can be calculated using either total amounts or per unit amounts.

A Japanese worker can produce 6 units of steel or 3 televisions per hour. A Korean worker can produce 8 units of steel or 2 tele
kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 and 4

Explanation:

Japanese worker can produce 6 units of steel or 3 televisions per hour.

Korean worker can produce 8 units of steel or 2 televisions per hour.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. So when the country decides to produce only televisions it has to give up on steel production. Thus, the units of steel forgone for each unit of television gained is an opportunity cost of a television.

Opportunity cost  = \frac{Units of Steel lost}{Units of Television gained}

Thus,

Opportunity cost of television for Japan = \frac{6}{3}  = 2

Opportunity cost of television for Korea = \frac{8}{2}  = 4
