Answer: The opportunity cost of producing 1 apple will be 1 orange.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is defined as the loss or cost of another alternative when another alternative is being chosen by an economic agent.

In this scenario, the opportunity cost of producing every additional apple will be 1 orange due to the fact that as there's an increase in the production of apple from 80 to 90, there'll be a reduction in the production of orange from 30 to 20.

This indicates that for the increase of 10 apples, there's a reduction of 10 oranges which implies that an increase of 1 apple brings about a reduction by 1 orange.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Debit Insurance expense    $10,000

Credit Prepaid Insurance    $10,000

Being entries to recognize insurance expense for the period (August to December).

Explanation:

Given;

Insurance policy was purchased on July 10 to run for 3 years.

Cost of policy = $72,000

Start date is August 1st. As at 31 December, the policy should have been amortized for 5 months (August to December)

Monthly depreciation = $72,000/(3 × 12)

                                    = $2,000

Total amortization between August and December = 5 × $2,000

                                                                                      = $10,000

Journal entries

olganol [36]

Answer:

B. Herbania is technologically superior to Duckistan in producing civilian goods.

Explanation:

Duckistan Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    20  18   14    8    0

Military Goods     0     1    2     3    4

opportunity cost  -     ¹/₁₈  ¹/₇  ³/₈   4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  20  18   7   2.7   -     military goods

Herbania Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    40  36  26   14   0

Military Goods     0    1     2     3    4

opportunity cost  -    ¹/₃₆  ¹/₁₃  ³/₁₄  4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  40 36   13  4.7   -     military goods

Herbania has an absolute advantage in the production of civilian goods. Since it also has a lower opportunity cost of producing civilian goods, therefore, it also has a comparative advantage at producing civilian goods. Assuming that resources are equal in both countries, then we can assume that Herbania is technologically superior in the production of civilian goods.

Dukistan has a lower opportunity cost of producing military goods, therefore, it has a comparative advantage at producing military goods.
