Answer:

1. Greece, Germany

2. 2.2 barrels of oil, 0.45 pairs of shoes

3. d. 10 barrels of oil per pair of shoes

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

To produce a pair of shoes costs Greece 5 barrels of oil

To produce a pair of shoes costs Germany 11 barrels of oil

b) This means that it costs Germany more than Greece to produce a pair of shoes, and Germany produces a lot of oil to the extent that she is willing to exchange her 11 barrels of oil for a pair of shoes while Greece can only exchange 5 barrels of oil for a pair of shoes.

A new product made from recycled bio-plastics needs 25 labor hours to complete the build for the first unit. If production opera
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

166.25 hours

Explanation:

It take 25 hours if the production is going at 100% capacity, but the production is only going at 67%, therefore, 33% of the capacity is under utilized. It takes 8.25 more hours to finish the unit since the capacity is only at 67%. Finally, it takes 25+8.25 hours to finish a single product, hence taking 166.25 hours for 5 units.

We do this like this:

--> 25 ------ 100

--> X   ------ 33

--> 33*25 = 100*X

--> 825/100

--> X=8.25

Hope this clears everything. Thankyou.

Refer to the following selected financial information from Marston Company. Compute the company's accounts receivable turnover f
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The correct option is E

Explanation:

The formula to compute the accounts receivable turnover of the company for the Year 2 is as:

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

where

Net Credit Sales be $723,000

And

Average Accounts Receivable is computed as:

Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts receivable Year 1 + Accounts receivable Year 2 / 2

= $86,500 + $82,750 / 2

= $169,250 / 2

= $84,625

Putting the values in the above formula:

= $723,000 / $84,625

= 8.54

Andy can't make a deal with Danny. Andy has a Alex Rodriguez baseball card and would like to trade it to Danny for Danny's Alber
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A. the double coincidence of wants problem.

Explanation:

Trade by barter involves the exchange of goods and services for goods and services without the use of money as a medium of exchange. In barter system, there is what we call double coincidence of wants. This is the economic situation whereby both parties holds what the other wants to buy, so they exchange the goods directly. Here, both parties agrees to buy and sell each other commodities. However, if one of the party is not interested in what the other party is offering, it causes a disruption in the trade. This disruption refers to a drawback in the system like the example described in the question.

Here, Andy couldn't make a deal with Danny even tho he wants what Danny is offering. This is because what Danny isn't interested in what Andy is offering. Thus, the double coincidence of want and barter trade can't occur between the two parties.
