8. The factor-price equalization theory and transportation costs

Which of the following statements about the factor-price equalization theory and the effects of transportation costs are correct? Check all that apply.

In trading nations, the cheap resource becomes even less expensive, and the expensive resource becomes even more expensive, which facilitates the growth of trade.

Differences in transportation costs across countries are a source of comparative advantage.

The factor-endowment theory accounts for transportation costs and other trade barriers.

When nations trade, the cheap resource becomes relatively more expensive, and the expensive resource becomes relatively less expensive, until price equalization occurs.

Which of the following statements about transportation costs are correct? Check all that apply.

When transportation costs rise, markets tend to substitute goods that are from closer locations.

Transportation costs have declined due to technological improvements for transporting goods.

International transportation costs are increasing everywhere in the world except in the United States.

Since the 1960s, transportation costs, as a percentage of the value of all U.S. imports, increased twofold.

The decline in the U.S. relative cost of international transportation has contributed to a higher volume of trade.

Q: Assistance in understanding and solving this example from Data Structure & Algorithms (Computer Science) with the steps of the solution to better understand, thanks.

##Using R studio language and code to use provided below, thanks.

In this assignment, we will implement a function to evaluate an arithmetic expression. You will use two stacks to keep track of things. The function is named ‘evaluate’, it takes a string as input parameter, and returns an integer. The input string represents an arithmetic expression, with each character in the string being a token, while the returned value should be the value of the expression.

Examples:

• evaluate ('1+2*3') ➔ 7

• evaluate ('1*2+3') ➔ 5

1. Shanahan Ltd is registered for VAT and is partially exempt. During the year the company incurred input tax of £136,000. Of this, £100,000 was attributable to taxable supplies, £13,000 was attributable to exempt supplies and £23,000 was unattributable. The total VAT exclusive value of supplies made by Shanahan Ltd for the year was £975,000. £100,000 of the £975,000 was in respect of zero rated supplies. £80,000 of the £975,000 was from exempt supplies. How much of Shanahan Ltd’s input tax is recoverable?

1. £113,000

Post-Lab Questions

Which data point can you obtain with greater accuracy from your graph-the pK values from the "legs" or the isoelectric point from the point of inflection? Explain your answer.

A top-loading washing machine has a cylindrical drum that rotates about a vertical axis. The drum of one such machine starts from rest and reaches an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 12.0 s. The lid of the machine is then opened, which turns off the machine, and the drum slows to rest in 11.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the drum turn during this 23 s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.

two techniques for implementing a top-down parser: a recursive descent parser and a table-driven parser.

a.What are the advantages of writing a recursive descent parser instead of a table-driven parser?

b.What are the disadvantages of recursive descent?

Hand-to-Mouth (H2M) is currently​ cash-constrained, and must make a decision about whether to delay paying one of its​ suppliers, or take out a loan. They owe the supplier $ 11,500 with terms of 1.8​/10 Net​ 40, so the supplier will give them a 1.8 % discount if they pay by today​ (when the discount period​ expires). ​ Alternatively, they can pay the full $ 11,500 in one month when the invoice is due. H2M is considering three​ options:

Alternative​ A: Forgo the discount on its trade credit​ agreement, wait and pay the full $ 11,500 in one month.

Alternative​ B: Borrow the money needed to pay its supplier today from Bank​ A, which has offered a​ one-month loan at an APR of 11.6 %. The bank will require a​ (no-interest) compensating balance of 5.3 % of the face value of the loan and will charge a $ 95 loan origination fee. Because H2M has no​ cash, it will need to borrow the funds to cover these additional amounts as well.

Alternative​ C: Borrow the money needed to pay its supplier today from Bank​ B, which has offered a​ one-month loan at an APR of 14.8 %. The loan has a 0.5 % loan origination​ fee, which again H2M will need to borrow to cover.
