Answer: a). Spain
b). none
c). 2.4
Explanation: a). Absolute advantage occurs when a country produces more of a good than the other country. In this case, Spain produces 50 units of Tractors while, Bolivia produces only 30 units of Tractors. Thus, Since Spain is producing more it has an absolute advantage in Tractors.
b). Both the countries are producing equal units of Cotton. Thus, we can say that none of them has an absolute advantage in cotton production.
c. Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. When Spain produces Tractors it is sacrificing production of Cotton. So, opportunity cost on 1 unit of Tractor will be,
Thus, 2.4 units of cotton which is given up is the opportunity cost of Spain for producing 1 unit of Tractor.
Answer:
D.
Municipal bond because the equivalent taxable yield is 6.6%
Explanation:
we should make the important difference that municipal bonds are tax free while corporate bonds don't.
Therefore we should solve for the after tax rate fo the corporate bond:
The corporate bond as a yield of 4.5% after taxes which is lower than the municipal bond. This make it more attractive
We can also solve for the pre-tax rate of the municipal bond:
the municipal bonds would be equivalent to a 6.6% corporate bonds.
This makes option D correct.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense and book value at the end of 2016 is shown below:
But before that first determine the cost of the asset which is
Cost of the asset is
= Purchase price + rear hydraulic lift + sales tax
= $62,000 + $8,000 + $3,000
= $73,000
Now the depreciation expense is
= ($73,000 - $8,000) ÷ (10 years)
= $6,500
ANd, the book value is
= $73,000 - $6,500 × 2
= $60,000
