e. Suppose that, initially, both Jerome and Anita spend four hours each day doing floral arrangements and two hours each day doing deliveries. Now suppose they change their tasks, so that each individual does nothing but the task in which she or he has a comparative advantage. How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day?

____4_____ additional floral arrangements

____5____ additional deliveries

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time it takes Anita to finish one floral arrangement = 30 minutes

Time it takes Anita to make a delivery = 40 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to finish one floral arrangement = 10 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to make a delivery = 30 minutes

b) Absolute Advantage: Jerome will finish 3 floral arrangements (30/10), whereas Anita can only finish 1 in 30 minutes.

c) Anita's opportunity cost is the time it will take her to make a delivery using the same time it takes her to finish one floral arrangement.  In 30 minutes time, she can only make (30/40) 0.75 deliveries.  Using 40 minutes of making a delivery, she can finish 1.33 (40/30) floral arrangements.

d) Anita's comparative advantage in making deliveries is based on her opportunity cost when compared with Jerome's opportunity cost of making deliveries.

When may an item attached to a structure be considered personal property rather than real property?
GaryK [48]

An item of personal property that has been converted to real property. Even though it is attached to a structure, an item may be considered personal property rather than real property if: A. the owner originally intended to remove it after a period of time.

Any movable thing or intangible object of value that is able to being owned through someone and now not identified as actual belongings. personal belongings may be characterized as either tangible or intangible. Examples of exact non-public assets consist of motors, furnishings, boats, and collectibles. stocks, bonds, and financial institution bills fall underneath intangible personal belongings.

Movable assets on land (large livestock, for example) become no longer automatically sold with the land, it become "non-public" to the owner and moved with the proprietor.

Billy’s Exterminators, Inc., has sales of $592,000, costs of $284,000, depreciation expense of $36,000, interest expense of $28,
defon

Answer:

EPS = $1.9825

Explanation:

EPS (earnings per share) = Net Income / shares of common stock outstanding

Income before taxes = $592,000 - $284,000 - $36,000 - $28,000 = $244,000

Tax = $244,000 x 35% = $85,400

Net Income = $244,000 - $85,400 = $158,600

EPS = $158,600 / 80,000 = $1.9825

Hope this helps!

Hogan Industries had the following inventory transactions occur during 2017: Units Cost/unit Feb. 1, 2017 Purchase 108 $45 Mar.
kirill [66]

Answer: $1,982.40

Explanation:

The company's after-tax income using LIFO will be:

Sales = 306 × $63 = $19,278

Less: Cost of Goods Sold

132 × $49 = $6,468

174 × $47 = $8,178

Coat if goods sold = $14,646

Gross Profit = $19,278 - $14,646 = $4,632

Less: Operating Expense = $1,800

Income Before Tax = $2,832

Less: Tax = 30% × $2832 = $849.60

Income after Tax = $1,982.40

At the end of 2009, the following information is available for Clobes Company, Snyder Company, and Welz Company (you must show y
ella [17]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.

Solution:

1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.

Formula used:

Debt-to-equity ratio  =  Total liabilities divided by owner's equity

For Clobes:

Total liabilities = 100,000

Owners' equity =  200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5

For Snyder:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5  

For Welz:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 100,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3

Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.

2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)

Formula used:

ROE = Net income / Owner's equity

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125

For Snyder:

Net income = 30,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2

Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.

As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.

3. Return on assets:

Formula used

Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Total assets = 300,000

Return on Assets  = 25,000  / 300000 = 0.08

For Snyder:  

Net income = 30,000

Total assets = 500000

Return on Assets  = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Total assets = 400,000

Return on Assets  = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05

Hence,

Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.
