Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The amount of amortization expense the lessee would record for the first year of the lease is $131,125.

Explanation:

Since the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title of the asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term, this implies that the calculation of the amount of amortization expense the lessee would record will be based on the economic life of the asset. Therefore, we have:

First year amortization expense = (Amount at which the asset is recorded - Fair value at the end of 8 years) / Economic life of the asset = ($1,040,000 - $135,000) / 8 = $131,125

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Curtis

The total percentage return on the investment is:

= -7.86%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial share price at which the stock was purchased = $140

The selling share price = $119

Dividends earned during the stock ownership (holding period) = $10

Total returns, including proceeds from the sales = $129 ($119 + $10)

Total returns from holding the stock until sold

= Total returns + sales proceeds minus Initial purchase cost

= -$11 ($129 - $140)

Total percentage return on the investment = $11/$140 * 100

= 7.857

= 7.86%
