a. (Anita, Jerome) __Jerome____ absolute advantage in floral arrangements. __Jerome____ (Anita, Jerome) has an absolute advantage in deliveries.

b. Anita’s opportunity cost of making one floral arrangement is ___0.75__

( 1.33, 0.75, .33, 3) deliveries. Anita’s opportunity cost of making one delivery is __1.33_ (1.33, 0.75, .33, 3) floral arrangements.

c. Jerome’s opportunity cost of making one floral arrangement is ___0.33__(.75,3,1.33..33) deliveries. Jerome’s opportunity cost of making one delivery is 3 (3, 1.33, .75, .33) floral arrangements.

d. (Jerome, Anita)_Jerome____ has a comparative advantage in floral arrangements. (Jerome, Anita)__Anita___ has a comparative advantage in deliveries.

e. Suppose that, initially, both Jerome and Anita spend four hours each day doing floral arrangements and two hours each day doing deliveries. Now suppose they change their tasks, so that each individual does nothing but the task in which she or he has a comparative advantage. How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day?

____4_____ additional floral arrangements

____5____ additional deliveries

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Time it takes Anita to finish one floral arrangement = 30 minutes

Time it takes Anita to make a delivery = 40 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to finish one floral arrangement = 10 minutes

Time it takes Jerome to make a delivery = 30 minutes

b) Absolute Advantage: Jerome will finish 3 floral arrangements (30/10), whereas Anita can only finish 1 in 30 minutes.

c) Anita's opportunity cost is the time it will take her to make a delivery using the same time it takes her to finish one floral arrangement. In 30 minutes time, she can only make (30/40) 0.75 deliveries. Using 40 minutes of making a delivery, she can finish 1.33 (40/30) floral arrangements.

d) Anita's comparative advantage in making deliveries is based on her opportunity cost when compared with Jerome's opportunity cost of making deliveries.

You want to invest $50,000 in a portfolio with a beta of no more than 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. Bay Corp. has a beta

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;

(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

-0.036x = -0.024

x = 0.67

Portfolio beta is;

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8

= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.

Amount in Bay Corp.;

= 0.67 * 50,000

= $33,500

Amount in City Inc.;

= 50,000 - 33,500

= $16,500

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:

First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit using this formula

Variable cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Sales commissions per unit + Variable administrative expense per unit

Let plug in the formula

Variable cost per unit = $5.15 + $5.30 + $1.95 + $0.60 + $0.55

Variable cost per unit = $13.55

Now let determine the Contribution margin per unit using this formula

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Let plug in the formula

Contribution margin per unit = $26.00 - $13.55

Contribution margin per unit = $12.45

Therefore the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:$12.45

401k is an investment account that you can use to save your paycheck from your work. Most employers provide this.

A 529 is also another good investment for saving up for college as there are no taxes applied to the investment or income as long as it is used for schooling.

A HSA plan is able to accumulate value for a future health purchase and is also usually taken out of your paycheck. Taxes do not apply so you get the full value of the amount you decide to set aside.
