1. a. Under free trade, China's peanuts domestic production will be 100 units (50 + 5 x 10).

b. Under free trade, China's peanuts import will be 200 units (300 - 100).

c. Under free trade, China's peanuts export will be negative 200 units (100 - 300).

d. Free trade ensures that domestic consumption is met because domestic manufacturers will produce 100 units while the remaining 200 units demanded by consumers will be met through imports.

2. a. With a quota limit of 200 units for peanuts import, peanuts production will still be 100 units (50 + 5 x 10).

b. Under the quota limit, China's peanuts import will be 200 units (300 - 100) since internal production is not more than 100 units.

c. Under the quota limit, China's peanuts export will be zero units.

d. The quota limit will still ensure that domestic consumption is met because the quota of 200 units plus 100 units of internal production will meet domestic demand for 300 units.

<h3>What are Free Trade and Quota?</h3>

Free trade implies the absence of any government-imposed limits on imports and exports. On the other hand, quota refers to the trade restriction imposed by governments.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

D = 400 - 10P

S = 50 + 5P

Where:

D = Demand

S = Domestic Supply

P = Price

Price = $10

a. The quantity demanded will be 300 units (400 - 10 x 10).

b. The quantity supplied (domestically) will be 100 units (50 + 5 x 10).

c. The import quantity will be 200 units (300 - 100).

c. Quota imposed on imports of peanuts = 200 units

Thus, <u>there will be no changes</u> in the welfare of consumers and manufacturers under the quota limit compared with free trade because the quota meets domestic demand.

Airida [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Minimum wages can be defined as the minimum level of wages that an employer is supposed to pay to workers for their work. It cannot be reduced through an individual contract or collective agreement.

Minimum wages are fixed above the equilibrium level of wages. At this level, the demand for labor is lower while supply is more because of high wages. This creates surplus labor in the market.

Alliance Company budgets production of 24,000 units in January and 28,000 units in the February. Each finished unit requires 3 p

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Total direct material needed in pounds= 101,400 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each finished unit requires 3 pounds of raw material K that costs $3.00 per pound.

Each month's ending raw materials inventory should equal 35% of the following month's budgeted materials.

The January 1 inventory for this material is 25,200 pounds.

Production:

January= 24,000 units

February= 28,000 units

<u>Direct material budget:</u>

Production= 24,000*3= 72,000 pounds

Desired ending inventory= (28,000*0.35)*3= 29,400 pounds

Total direct material needed in pounds= 101,400 pounds

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 101,400 - 25,200

Purchases= 76,200 pounds

Direct material purchase cost= 76,200*3= $228,60

Snyder's-Lance is a leading snack-food company. The following note was contained in its recent annual report:

Mademuasel [1]

The reported ending inventory was $43,112 thousand. If FIFO were used exclusively, the ending inventory would have been $6,964 thousand higher than reported, or $50,076 thousand.

Inventory refers to all the items, goods, goods, and materials that a business holds for sale in the market to make a profit. Example: If a newsagent uses a vehicle to deliver newspapers to customers, only the newspapers are considered inventory. A car is treated as an asset.

The manufacturer has three types of inventory. There are raw materials (awaiting processing), work in process (processed), and finished goods (preparing for shipment). The LIFO method assumes that the most recently purchased inventory units are sold.
