Answer:
(b) $ 43 comma 750 increase
Explanation:
Consider the Incremental Costs and Revenues arising from accepting the Special Order.
Note: Cozy Company has  enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order, therefore the fixed costs are irrelevant for this decision, since order is accepted within the normal operating capacity.
Sales (25,000×$ 7.50)                                  $187,500
Variable manufacturing (25,000× $ 5.75)  ($143,750)
Net Income/(loss)                                           $43,750
<u>Conclusion</u>
Therefore, Operating Income would increase by $43,750 as a result of Accepting the Special Order.

Answer:
d. Thailand should export rice and import cell phones
Explanation:
Analyzing the question, it is correct to say that Thailand should export rice and import cell phones.
To understand why this statement is correct, we need to understand the concept of comparative advantage and absolute advantage.
The comparative advantage occurs when a country has great efficiency in producing a certain good, that is, the production is specialized and therefore advantageous in relation to another country. So it is correct to say that Thailand, having a comparative advantage in rice, should export rice to achieve greater economic advantage.
The absolute advantage, on the other hand, corresponds to the production of a good with lower costs than another country, but Thailand should import cell phones because Indonesia has a comparative advantage in cell phones, which makes it more competitive than Thailand in this segment.

Answer:
$41,354.98
Explanation:
Required future worth = Annual savings x FVIFA(r%, N) x (1 + r)
Required annual savings ($) = [Required future worth / FVIFA(r%, N)] / (1 + r)
= 725,000 / [FVIFA(10%, 10) * 1.1]
= 725,000 / (15.9374 * 1.1)
= 725,000 / 17.53114
= 41354.98318991235
= $41,354.98
Note: Since this is annuity due (deposit made at beginning of year), FV is divided by (1+r).
