Assume that two countries (Home and Foreign) each produce two goods (corn and wheat) under constant cost production. Home produc

Answer:

1/2 ton of wheat per ton of corn

Explanation:

Home produces 0.5 ton of corn or 1 ton of wheat with a day of labor:

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of corn = (1 ÷ 0.5)

                                                                         =  2 tons of wheat

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of Wheat = (0.5 ÷ 1)

                                                                             =  0.5 tons of corn

Foreign produces 1 ton of corn and 0.5 ton of wheat:

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of corn = (0.5 ÷ 1)

                                                                         =  0.5 tons of wheat

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of Wheat = (1 ÷ 0.5)

                                                                             =  2 tons of corn

Therefore,

Foreign has a comparative advantage in producing corn because of lower opportunity cost and Home has a comparative advantage in producing wheat.

So, home country will be importing corn from foreign. Hence, if the international price will be 0.5 tons of wheat per ton of corn then the home country will get the largest gains from the trade because it is willing to sacrifice 2 tons of wheat for a ton of corn.

Suppose the company that owns the vending machines on your campus has doubled the price of a can of soda. if they then still sel
Ierofanga [76]
The answer would be that there are few other places to purchase soda on campus; competition (or lack thereof) can play a big factor in determining price elasticity.

While nutrition information can shift consumers' preferences, we have no indication within the question of whether or not the students are well-informed of the impact of their drinking choices.

As for the third option, we are not given any information on the students' budgets, and no information with which to infer this, either. We only have information on their spending as it is related to soda, not as compared to other purchases.

Finally, given that the quantity sold does not change much despite the change in price, we can conclude that this price curve is relatively inelastic, in which case the price elasticity of demand would be closer to zero than one. This effectively rules out the last answer.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$153,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of all cash inflows including salvage value after considering the discount factor - initial investment

where,

Present value  is

= Four year cash inflows × PVIFA factor for 11.5% for 4 years + (one year cash inflow + salvage value) × discount rate for 11.50% at five year

= $300,000 × 3.0696  + ($300,000 + $100,000) × 0.5803

= $920,880 + $232,120

= $1,153,000

And, the initial investment is $1,000,000

So, the net present value is

= $1,153,000 - $1,000,000

= $153,000
