Who has the comparative advantageLOADING... in producing oil? A. Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because its opportunity cost of producing oil is lower. B. Neither country has a comparative advantage producing oil because their opportunity costs of producing oil are equal. C. The United Kingdom has a comparative advantage producing oil because its opportunity cost of producing oil is lower. D. Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil. E. The United Kingdom has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil.
Answer:
The answer is option D) Norway has a comparative advantage producing oil because it can produce more oil.
Explanation:
Norway currently produces 1,398 thousand barrels of crude oil per day. At this capacity, it can produce more oil in comparison to United Kingdom that produces 1000 thousand barrels per day.
This statistics gives Norway a comparative advantage over United Kingdom.
Also comparing the consumption rate for both countries with Norway having a population of 5,421,241 which is far less than 66, 650,000 of the United Kingdom, shows that Norway will have enough to cater for her citizens as well as for exports.
The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
The following units of an item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 8,100 units at $180 Sale 5,300 units at $300 First purchase 15,000 units at $185 Sale 13,000 units at $300 Second purchase 16,000 units at $192 Sale 14,000 units at $300 The firm uses the perpetual inventory system, and there are 6,800 units of the item on hand at the end of the year. a. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to FIFO? $ b. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to LIFO?
Answer:
a. $1,305,600
b. $1,258,000
Explanation:
FIFO - Assumes that the first goods received by the business will be first ones to be delivered to the final customer
FIFO Inventory = 6,800 units × $ 192 = $1,305,600
LIFO - Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer
LIFO Inventory = 2,800 units × $180 = $ 504,000
2,000 units × $185 = $ 370,000
2,000 units × $ 192 = $ 384,000
Total = $1,258,000
In 2017, Cullumber Corporation incurred research and development costs as follows: Materials and equipment $111000 Personnel 131000 Indirect costs 171000 $413000 These costs relate to a product that will be marketed in 2018. It is estimated that these costs will be recouped by December 31, 2020. The equipment has no alternative future use. What is the amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017
Answer:
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 is $413,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 we would have to use the following formula:
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017= Materials and equipment costs+ Personnel costs+Indirect costs
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017= $111,000+ $131,000+$171,000
amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017=$413,000
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2017 is $413,000
The amount of research and development costs that should be expensed in 2020
$ 99000 + $ 119000 + $ 159000

A company used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $15,350, had a salvage value of $3,200 and a six-year useful life. After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,535 but its total useful life remained the same. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the equipment during each of the remaining years of its useful life: Multiple Choice $2,880. $5,672. $1,215. $2,580. $3,200.
Answer:
The correct answer is $2,580.
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($15,350 - $3,200) / 6 years = $2,025 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation at Year 3 = $2,025 x 3 = $6,075
Net book value (NBV) becomes $15,350 - $6,075 = $9,275
New depreciation is ($9,275 - $1,535) / 3 years = $2,580 yearly depreciation expenses

Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000
Pharoah Company has had 4 years of record earnings. Due to this success, the market price of its 500,000 shares of $4 par value common stock has increased from $15 per share to $55. During this period, paid-in capital remained the same at $6,000,000. Retained earnings increased from $4,500,000 to $30,000,000. CEO Don Ames is considering either (1) a 15% stock dividend or (2) a 2-for-1 stock split. He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on (a) retained earnings, (b) total stockholders’ equity, and (c) par value per share.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
1) 15% Stock Dividend-
Retained Earnings = Increase Value of Retained Earnings - (Total Shares × 15% Stock Dividend × Increase Value of Per Share)
= $30,000,000 - (500,000 × 15% × $55)
= $30,000,000 - $4,125,000
= $25,875,000
2) 2-for-1 stock split-
Retained earnings = $30,000,000
The 2-for-1 stock split will not impact retained earnings.
a and b) The before, after effects of each option are shown in the attachment below
c) Par value per share
Par value per share of stock dividend = $4
Par value per share of 2-for-1 stock split = $4 ÷ 2 = $2
According to the analysis, stock dividend will not make any impact.
A firm that has an ROE of 12% is considering cutting its dividend payout. The stockholders of the firm desire a dividend yield of 4% and a capital gain yield of 9%. Given this information, which of the following statements is (are) correct? I. All else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change. II. All else equal, the firm's stock price will go up after the payout change. III. All else equal, the firm's P/E ratio will increase after the payout change. Multiple Choice I only
Answer:
I only is correct. That is, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.
Explanation:
Holding every other condition constant, the cutting of the company's dividend payout will lead to a permanent fall in the dividend per share and this will cause a decrease in price.
However, the cutting the company's dividend payout will increased the retention rate that will increase the growth rate of the company.
Therefore, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.

We can consider the case where wine producers in Chile ask the government to tax imported wines from France with a tax. They consider that this tax would increase both the State's tax revenue and employment in the Chilean wine industry. What kind of economic argument is this in relation to international trade? Do you agree or not with the argument presented by wine producers in Chile? If the state government adopts this position, does it consider it to be good economic policy or not? Briefly explain your answers using the concepts of international trade discussed in your Textbook.
Answer:
If the Government executes taxes on lavender trade from France (therefore creating French wine beloved than national wine), the local wine manufacturers would take pleasure in such a strategy because it would create French wine much economical (since it'll value extra) and therefore doubtless growth in local wine drinking. This might additional because additional service chances within the national wine region and conjointly rise the Government's government revenue (income from taxes on the wine trade). Such a procedure is hidden wanting i.e. an advocate procedure in expressions of Global trade wherever the govt. is protective the benefits of the native wine manufacturers by heavy imports.
If the Chilean wine trade isn't terribly inexpensive in relations of value, feature etc. and remains at an emergent phase then it's vital to safeguard the local trade from global competition.
Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%

Bass Accounting Services expects its accountants to work a total of 26 comma 000 direct labor hours per year. The company's estimated total indirect costs are $ 390 comma 000. The company uses direct labor hours as the allocation base for indirect costs. What is the indirect cost allocation rate? A. $ 18.00 per hour B. $ 30.00 per hour C. $ 15.00 per hour D. $ 150.00 per hour
Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) $15 per hour
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Expected wok for accountants = 26,000
The company estimated total indirect costs - 390,000
The next step is to find the allocation base cost for indirect cost.
Now,
The indirect labor cost is calculated as follows:
indirect cost allocation rate:
= Total indirect costs/Labor hours
= $390,000/26,000
= $15 per hours

Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195

Cost of 10-ton draw press is $183,000 and if the cost paid before 15 days, there will be a 4% discount.
Discount Value is
= Cost of Draw Press × Discount Rate
= $183,000 × 4%
= $7,320
Total Capitalized Amount is
= (Total Cost of Draw Press - Discount Value) + Shipping Cost + Installation Cost
= ($183,000 - $7,320) + $4,300 + $12,900
= $175,680 + $4,300 + $12,900
= $192,880
According to the analysis, the capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is $192,880.
Because any cost which incurred for using an asset should be capitalized.

The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.
The following costs are included in a recent summary of data for a company: advertising expense, $85,000; depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000; direct labor, $250,000; direct material used, $300,000; factory utilities, $105,000; and sales salaries expense, $150,000. Determine the dollar amount of conversion costs.
Answer:
Conversion costs= $488,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000
direct labor, $250,000
factory utilities, $105,000
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Manufacturing overhead= 133,000 + 105,000= 238,000
Direct labor= 250,000
Conversion costs= $488,000
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Please help ASAP giving BRAINLIEST , Did I get this correct?
Answer:
No, in my opinion I would choose:
A) the properties of free-market system that determine what the outcomes will be.
Explanation:
That would be my answer because the definition of market forces is "the economic factors affecting the price of, demand for, and availability of a commodity."(off the internet) and the answer which fits that definition the most in my opinion is A.
That would be my answer at least.
Hope this helps!

Explanation:
A Company manufactures coffee tables. The Company has a policy of adding a 20% markup to full costs and currently has excess capacity. The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 30,000 tables Machine-hours 6000 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 10,000 hours Direct materials per unit $50 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $322,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $1,200,000 Product and process design costs $600,000 Marketing and distribution costs $1,290,000 For long-run pricing of the coffee tables, what price will most likely be used by the Company
Answer:
$201.30
Explanation:
Direct materials = $50
Total Direct manufacturing labor = $12.00 * 10,000 = $120,000
Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $322,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs = $1,200,000
Product and process design costs = $600,000
Marketing and distribution costs = $1,290,000
Total cost apart from direct material = $120,000 + $322,500 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,290,000 = $3,532,500
Cost per unit apart from direct material = $3,532,500 / 30,000 = $117.75
Total cost per unit = $117.75 + $50 = $167.75
Mark up per unit = $167.75 * 20% = $33.55
Price per unit = $167.75 + $33.55 = $201.30
Answer: $201.30
Explanation:
To solve this all the expenses incurred per unit need to be included in the unit.
Direct Materials $50
Direct Manufacturing Labour Hours per unit
= (10,000/30,000 units) * 12 (direct Manufacturing Labour per hour)
= $4
Variable Manufacturing Overhead Cost
= 322,500/30,000
= $10.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs
= 1,200,000/30,000
= $40
Product and process design costs
= 600,000/30,000
= $20
Marketing and distribution costs
= 1,290,000/30,000
= $43
Adding everything up,
= 50 + 4 + 10.75 + 40 + 20 + 43
= $167.75
Company adds 20% to costs so,
= 167.75 * ( 1 + 20%)
= $201.30
Company will most likely sell at $201.30
elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Incremental Cost of Making Product
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,
= 2.95 * 50,000
= $147,500
Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,
= 147,500 + 67,000
= $214,500
$214,500 is the cost making the product.
Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.

In performing accounting services for small businesses, you encounter the following situations per taining to cash sales. 1. Poole Company enters sales and sales taxes separately in its cash register. On April 10, the register totals are sales $30,000 and sales taxes $1,500. 2. Waterman Company does not segregate sales and sales taxes. Its register total for April 15 is $25,680, which includes a 7% sales tax. Prepare the entry to record the sales transactions and related taxes for each client.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entries of the given data are as follow:-
1.Journal Entry of Poole Company
April 10
Cash A/c Dr. $31,500
To Sales A/c $30,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,500
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
2. Since Register total for April $25,680 includes 7% sales tax.
So Sales of Waterman Company
= Registered Total Amount ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
= $25,680 ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $25,680 ÷ 1.07
= $24,000
Now
Sales tax = $24,000 × 7% = $1,680
Journal Entry of Waterman Company
On 15 April
Cash A/c Dr. $25,680
To Sales A/c $24,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,680
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
