Answer:
Option E
Explanation:
Absolute advantage means that with the same input one country is able to produce more goods and services as compared to the other.
As we can see, Germany is able to produce 40 tons of steel with the same inputs as that of South Korea.
In the same way, Germany is able to produce 10 personal computers with the same inputs as that of South Korea.
Hence, Germany has an absolute advantage in the production of both steel and PCs
Option E is correct
Answer:
The requirement for the next four years higher than the current available capacity.
Explanation:
AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc., has 3 bronze machines and one injection molding. The bronze machine total available capacity is 60,000 / year which is calculated by 20,000 sprinkles * 3 machines.
For molding machine the available capacity for the year is 320,000 sprinkles per year.
The capacity requirement for next four years will be greater for bronze and the company needs to consider buying more machines.
Answer:
Monthly payment = $769.27
Explanation:
First we have to determine the future value of the ordinary annuity:
Payment = $235.15
N = 20 * 12 = 240
Rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.267%
Using a financial calculator and the FV function, the FV = $78,910.41
Again, using the financial calculator or Excel, you can determine the monthly payment:
N = 10 / 12 = 120
Rate = 0.267%
PV = $78,910.41
FV = $0
Monthly payment = $769.27
Answer:
External funds needed = $40,000.
Explanation:
An increase in the firm's retained earnings (a component of the shareholder's equity) arises as a result of higher sales volume, thereby making the Asset = Liability + Shareholder's Equity Equation unbalanced.
Therefore, there must be an increment in the firm's assets by an equal amount in order to re balance the equation. If there is an increase in assets by a greater magnitude than retained earnings increment, the gap is filled by external financing (which is a liability and increases the liability component of the equation).
Net income = Sales * profit margin = $500000*10% = $50000
Dividend= Net income * payout ratio = $50000*20%= $10000
Increase in retained earnings = Net income - Dividend = $(50000-10000)
= $40000
Increase in assets = $80000
External funds needed = $(80000-40000) = $40,000.
