Answer:
The correct option is B,$6,710 million
Explanation:
First and foremost,one needs to be aware that net operating profit margin(NOPM) of 3.6% was computed by dividing operating profit after tax by the total revenue for 2016,hence we use same formula to determine the net operating profit after tax for 2017 by merely changing the subject of the formula.
NOPM=net operating profit after/total revenue
net operating profit after tax=NOPM*total revenue
NOPM remains at 3.6%
total revenue for 2017=total revenue for 2016*(1+growth rate)
total revenue for 2016 is $177,526 million
growth rate is 5%
total revenue for 2017= $177,526*(1+5%)=$ 186,402.30 million
Net operating profit after tax= 186,402.30 *3.6%=$ 6,710.48 million
Approximately $6710 million
Answer:
France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden
Explanation:
France can produce: 4 phones or 3 computers
The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (3 ÷ 4)
= 0.75 computers
The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (4 ÷ 3)
= 1.33 phones
Sweden can produce: 1 phone or 2 computers
The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (2 ÷ 1)
= 2 computers
The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (1 ÷ 2)
= 0.5 phones
According to the comparative advantage,
Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because the opportunity cost of producing computers is lower for Sweden than for France.
France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because the opportunity cost of producing phones is lower for France than for Sweden and import computers from Sweden because Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers.
Answer:
rises; demanded falls
Explanation:
The aggregate demand curve exhibits a negative relationship between aggregate price levels and aggregate output demanded. If aggregate price levels falls, aggregate output demanded rises and if aggregate price levels rises, aggregate output demanded falls.
The aggregate demand curve is negatively sloped.

Answer:
1. True
2. False
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
An example of perfect competition is the market for farm produce.
