Suppose that France and Sweden both produce jeans and olives. France’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 pairs of jeans, while Sweden’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 10 pairs of jeans. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of olives, and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that France and Sweden consider trading olives and jeans with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of jeans for each crate of olives it exports to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of olives for each pair of jeans it exports to France. Based on your answers to the previous question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of jeans) would allow both Sweden and France to gain from trade? a. 1 pair of jeans per crate of olives b. 2 pairs of jeans per crate of olives c. 16 pairs of jeans per crate of olives d. 7 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Answer:

France - Comparative Advantage in Olives, Sweden - Comparative Advantage in Jeans. France gains in trade by > 4 jeans/ olive, Sweden gains in trade by > 1/10 olive/jeans. d) 7 pair jeans per crate olives.

Explanation:

France opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 pairs of jeans, while Sweden’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 10 pairs of jeans.

As France opportunity cost of olive (in terms of jeans' pair sacrifised) is lesser than Sweden, it has comparative advantage in olives. Similarly, Sweden opportunity cost of jeans (in terms of olives sacrifised) is lesser ie 1/10, than France opportunity cost ie 1/4. So, Sweden has opportunity cost in Jeans.

France can gain in trade if it gets more than 4 pair jeans per olive crate. Sweden can gain in trade if it gets more than 1/10 olive crate per jeans pair.

'7 pairs of jeans per crate of olives' satisfies gainful trade conditions for both France & Sweden as : 7 (ie > 4) Jeans per olive, 1/7 (ie > 1/10) olive per jeans.

Anchor, Inc. had income after taxes of $500,000 for the current year. An average of 125,000 shares of Anchor’s common stock was outstanding for the entire year, and 130,000 shares were outstanding at year-end. In addition, options were outstanding throughout the year to buy 12,000 shares of Anchor common stock at $7.50 per share. During the year, Anchor’s common stock had an average market price of $9 per share. The stock was selling for $10 per share at year-end. Anchor is subject to a 34% tax rate and amortizes its bonds using a straight-line method.
Anchor had the following convertible securities outstanding throughout the current year:
1. 6%, cumulative, convertible preferred stock. Each $10 par value share is convertible into 1.5 common shares. A total of $100,000 par value is outstanding.
2. 8%, 10-year, $1,000 par convertible bonds that were issued at 105. Total par value outstanding is $100,000. Each bond converts into 90 shares of common stock.
3. 13%, 5-year, $1,000 par convertible bonds that were issued at 97. Total par value outstanding is $30,000. Each bond converts into 30 shares of common stock.
4. 7%, 8-year, $1,000 par convertible bonds that were issued at 95. Total par value outstanding is $60,000. Each bond converts into 20 shares of common stock.
5. An 11%, 20-year, $1,000 par convertible bonds that were issued at face value. The total par value outstanding is $500,000. Each bond converts into 20 shares of common stock.
Required:
Calculate Anchor Inc.’s basic and diluted EPS for the current year.
Note: Use straight-line amortization for all the bonds. For example, if you have a 15 year, 10%, $1,000 face value bond issued at 85 and a $150 discount at issue, then $10 will be amortized each period using straight line amortization. You would have the following:
At issue:
Cash 850
Discount on B/P 150
Bonds Payable 1,000
Periodic entries:
Interest Expense 110
Discount on B/P 10
Cash 100

JLR Enterprises provides consulting services throughout California and uses job-order costing system to accumulate the cost of client projects. Traceable costs are charged directly to individual clients; in contrast, other costs incurred by JLR, but not identifiable with specific clients, are charged to jobs using a predetermined overhead application rate. Clients are billed for directly chargeable costs, overhead and markup. JLR's director of cost management, Brent Dean, anticipates the following costs for the upcoming year. Cost Percentage of Cost Directly Traceable to ClientsProfessional staff salaries ………………………….$2,500,000 ………………………………80%Administrative support staff ………………………. 300,000 ……………………………… 60%Travel ……………………………………………… 250,000 ………………………… 90%Photocopying ………………………………………….50,000 ……………………………… 90%Other operating costs ………………………………. 100,000 ……………………………… 50%Total ……………………………………………… $3,200,000 …………………The firm’s partners desire to make a $640,000 profit for the firm and plan to add a percentage markup on total cost to achieve that figure.On March 10, JLR completed work on a project for Martin Manufacturing.

SNC is considering evaluating the payment profile of its customer base, especially focusing on customers who are chronically delinquent in paying invoices. Super Sports Centers-a national, mall-based, upscale fitness network and a key SNC customer (accounting for 20% of SNC's overall sales)-routinely takes almost 200 days to pay its invoices. That far exceeds the 90-day average collection period for SNC's other customers. If SNC drops Super Sports Centers from its customer base, sales will decrease by $2 million. However, the cash-flow measure of days sales outstanding (DSO) will quickly improve. What would you like to do about this opportunity?

Hi, Sierra,
1. As your CPA, I'm happy to respond to your request for clarification of the tax status of profits from eBay.
2. Or one of the other online sellers such as Etsy, Amazon, and Bonanza.
3. As you are probably already aware, you can use eBay or one of the other sellers to clean out your closets or to run a small business.
4. Tax liabilities should definitely be clarified.
5. Although no clear line separates fun from profit or a hobby from a business.
6. One thing is certain: the IRS taxes all income.
7. A number of factors will help you determine whether your hobby is a business.
8. To use eBay safely, the following questions should be considered:
9. Do you run the operation in a businesslike manner?
10. That is, do you keep records, is your profit and loss tracked, and how about keeping a separate checking account?
11. Do you devote considerable time and effort to your selling?
12. If you spend eight or more hours a day trading on eBay.
13. The IRS would tend to think you are in a business.
14. Some people depend on the income from their eBay activities for their livelihood.
15. Do you?
16. Are you selling items for more than they cost you?
17. If you spend $5 for a garage sale vase and sell it for $50.
18. The IRS would probably consider this a business transaction.
19. All profits are taxable.
20. Even for eBay sellers who are just playing around.
21. If you wish to discuss this further, please call me at 213-456-8901. Justin Corona
