Keuka Studies does custom metal sculptures of horses and other animals. A horse sculpture is composed of numerous parts. They use a lathe to construct two types of parts. The "Body" part is used to support the torso of the horse and the "Leg" part is used to support the legs. Each horse sculpture needs 1 Body part and 4 Leg parts. Switching between either of the types of parts requires 12 minutes. Once ready to produce, the lathe produces a Body part in 3 minutes and a single Leg part in 3 minutes. The lathe only makes horse parts. For parts (a)-(d) assume Keuka operates a cyclic schedule in which they make 100 Body parts and then 400 Leg parts. Furthermore, assume the lathe is the bottleneck. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

Consider two neighboring island countries called Arcadia and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.

Country Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor) Corn(Bushels per hour of labor)
Arcadia 5 10
Dolorium 4 16

Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. Consequently, Arcadia produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Dolorium produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of corn and jeans it produces.

Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is _____ of corn, and Dolorium's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is _____ of corn. Therefore, ____ has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and ____ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $87,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $29,000 or will be entitled to an additional $29,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $29,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.
Required:
1) Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract.
2) Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the bonus will be received.
