The correcto answer for this question is the letter c
Answer:
$1,521,800
Explanation:
The computation of cost basis is shown below:-
Three cells cost price = 3 × $470,000
= $1,410,000
Combination of rate charges = $30,000 + $16,000 + $39,000 + $3,600
= $88,600
Wages of one foreman = wage per hour × weeks worked × hours per week
= $29 × 5 × 40
= $5,800
Wages of 4 foremen = 4 × $5,800
= $23,200
Three cells cost basis = Three cells cost price + Combination of rate charges + Wages of one foreman
= $1,410,000 + $88,600 + $23,200
= $1,521,800
Answer:
Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables
Explanation:
Vegetables Chicken Trade Off Ratio
John 40 10 4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)
George 25 5 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)
John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :
- John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
- George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).
So, John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.
- It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
- Unitary method:- '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .
