Answer: $80

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Vietnam and Ecuador both produce shrimp and rice. Vietnam can produce 180 thousand pounds of shrimp or 60 thousand pounds of ric
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(a) 3 pounds of shrimp

(b) 5 pounds of shrimp

Explanation:

Opportunity costs refers to the costs or benefits that are foregone to select some other alternative.

Vietnam can produce 180,000 pounds of shrimp or 60,000 pounds of rice in a year:

Opportunity cost of producing one pound of rice = 180,000 ÷ 60,000

                                                                                  = 3 pounds of shrimp

Ecuador can produce 130,000 pounds of shrimp or 26,000 pounds of rice in a year:

Opportunity cost of producing one pound of rice = 130,000 ÷ 26,000

                                                                                  = 5 pounds of shrimp

Therefore,

According to the principle of comparative advantage, the Vietnam has a comparative advantage in producing rice because it has a opportunity cost of producing rice than Ecuador.

On January 1, 20Y8, Crabb & Co. sold land to ASP, Inc. and accepted a two-year, $500,000 face value note as payment. 6% inte
jeka94

Answer:

1. Discount

2. $449,298.47

3. $369,298.47 gain

4. land reduces by $80,000, investment increases by $449,298.47, reserves increases by $369,298.47

Explanation:

Question 1

Using the formula below

Price=\frac{I_{1}}{1+r} +\frac{I_{2}+F}{(1+r)^{2}}

where

I = interest rate, which is 6% of 500,000 = 30,000

F = Face value, 500,000

r = borrowing cost = 12%

Therefore, the price of the note at the time it was used for payment was

Price=\frac{30,000}{1.12} +\frac{30,000+500,000}{(1.12)^{2}}

= $449,298.47.

As the price is lower than the face value of the note, the note was issued at a discount.

Question 2

The fair market value of the note is $449,298.47, the compute price in question 1.

Question 3

The gain/loss on the sale of the land

= sale price - purchase price

= $449,298.47 - 80,000

= $369,298.47.

Question 4

The transaction would affect Crabb & Co's balance sheet as follows.

<em>Asset side:</em>

land reduces by $80,000

investment increases by $449,298.47

<em>Equity & liabilities side:</em>

reserves increases by $369,298.47

Planter Corporation used debentures with a par value of $566,000 to acquire 100 percent of Sorden Company's net assets on Januar
loris [4]

Answer:

$78,000

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash & Receivables A/c Dr $53,000

Inventory A/c Dr $203,000

Land A/c Dr $109,000

Plant & Equipment A/c Dr $310,000

Discount on Bonds payable A/c Dr $16,000 ($566,000 - $550,000)

      To Account payable $47,000

      To Bond payable $566,000

      To gain on purchase $78,000

(Being the exchange is recorded and the balancing figure is credited to gain on purchase account)

The computation of gain on purchase account would be

= Fair value of assets - fair value of account payable -  fair value of the bonds issued by Planter

= $675,000 - $47,000 - $550,000

= $78,000

Note: The land historical cost and fair value is $62,000 and $109,000 respectively
