Answer:
a) see attached image
b) Atlantis's opportunity cost of producing one helmet = 200 / 100 = 2 baseballs
c and d) Atlantis's opportunity cost of producing one baseball = 100 / 200 = 0.5 helmets
Zanadu's opportunity cost of producing one baseball = 100 / 400 = 0.25 helmets ⇒ Zanadu has a comparative and absolute advantage in the production of baseballs
e) yes, Atlantis would produce 100 helmets, and if it trades 50 to Zanadu, it will get 150 baseballs in return. So it will gain from trade. If Zanadu produces 400 baseballs and trades 150 of them for 50 helmets, it will also benefit.

Answer: x-inefficiency.
Explanation: Since it does not face any competition in its industry, the actions of Metropolitan Power and Light are an example of x-inefficiency which is a situation in which monopolies find themselves wherein they do not have to act efficiently since they are protected from competitive pressures. X-inefficiency is also applied to analyzing the average costs in imperfectly competitive markets whose average costs are higher than they would be if the market was more efficient.
Answer:
The book value of the machine at the end of year 2 is $35,000
Explanation:
Straight line method depreciates the asset on its useful life after deducting salvage value from the cost of the asset.
Depreciation per year = ( Cost of Machine - Residual Value ) / Useful life
Depreciation per year = ( $42,000 - $7,000 ) / 10 years
Depreciation per year = $3,500 per year
Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $42,000 - ( $3,500 x 2 )
Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $42,000 - $7,000
Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $35,000
