Response:

The avoidable costs linked to the segment amount to $754,000

Detailed explanation:

The costs tied to the segment under consideration for elimination are as follows:

- Advertising costs = $140,000

- Salaries for supervisors = $300,000

- Allocation of costs at the company level = $130,000

- Loss incurred from unsold building (*): $60,000

- Maintenance costs on equipment = $112,000

- Real estate taxes on the building = $12,000

The cumulative cost amounts to $754,000

(*) The earnings from the sold building (book value) = Market value of the building $160,000 - Book value of the building $100,000 = $60,000

Response:

50 cartons of eggs

Clarification:

Comparative advantage refers to the economic principle where a country focuses on producing goods that it can make at lower opportunity costs compared to others.

                 Bottles of milk     cartons of eggs

India                  15                              50

Indonesia          25                             35

In this context, India's opportunity cost for producing 1 bottle of milk equates to 3.33 cartons of eggs. Meanwhile, Indonesia's opportunity cost for producing one bottle of milk translates to 1.4 cartons of eggs. Thus, Indonesia has a comparative advantage in bottle production due to its lower opportunity cost.

On the opposite side, India’s opportunity cost for generating one carton of eggs is 0.3 bottles of milk, compared to Indonesia’s 0.71 bottles. Hence, India has a comparative advantage in egg production due to its lower opportunity cost.

Accordingly, India will specialize in producing eggs since it holds the comparative advantage, resulting in a production of 50 cartons of eggs.
