Answer:
1.6 hour
Explanation:
Given
Rate of Arrival =30 per hour
Rate of Processing = 25 per hour
Open Time = 8am
Close Time = 4pm
How long the last package has to wait before it is processed is calculated by;
Duration = ∆Time/∆Rate
∆Time = 4pm - 8am
∆Time = 8 hours
∆Rate = Rate of Arrival - Rate of Processing
∆Rate = 30 - 25
∆Rate = 5 per hour
Duration = 8 hours ÷ 5 per hour
Duration = 1.6 hours
Answer: A firm may operate in multiple industries.
Different firms may use different accounting practices.
Explanation:
Ratio Analysis as you probably know is a very useful tool in financial analysis. It works by comparing ratios based on items in the financial statements of a company to measure certain things such as the Company's Liquidity, Profitability and the like.
It does have certain drawbacks though such as,
A firm may operate in multiple industries
When a firm is operating in multiple industries. Comparing ratios is not a simple task. Different industries record profits and costs differently and just because a ratio is held in high esteem on one company does not mean it is good in another thereby making comparison based on ratios alone quite cumbersome.
Different firms may use different accounting practices
Now if different companies use different Accounting practices, you might find that ratios cannot be straightforwardly compared because different types of figures were used by the different companies. For instance, some companies might use a Straight Line Depreciation method as opposed to a Reducing Balance method which will have varying effects on income.
Answer:
a. 30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat.
Explanation:
In a two-product, two-country world, international trade leads to specialization. Each country will produce the product in which it has comparative advantage. In this case, Freedonia will produce only corn and Sylvania will produce only wheat. With all constant, the country will consume the same amount of that product, but the surplus will exchange it for the other product. Freedonia will use all its workers to produce corn, in a year they will produce 6*10= 60 units of corn. Sylvania will use the 10 workers to produce wheat, in a year they will produce 6*10=60 units of wheat.
But, Freedonia will consume the same amount of corn (30 units). Then, Freedonia have 30 available units to trade with Sylvania. And the same for Sylvania, they will consume the same amount of wheat (30 units) and so Sylvania will have 30 available units of wheat to trade with Freedonia.
If the price, for both goods, is the same, Ricardo´s theory predicts that total consumption in both countries will increase, then consumer welfare will increase. Freedonia will consume the same 30 units of corn, but the other 30 will be exchanged by 30 units of wheat. Consumers are better and happier. Freedonia will consume 20 units more of wheat than before without sacrifying units of corn.
