Through free trade, countries specialize in the goods for which they have a comparative advantage and trade for those in which they do not. Specialization allows a country to divide labor among the various production segments, which results in higher productivity and greater economic growth for the involved countries.

What Are the Economic Impacts of Specialization?

Specialization, along with the complementary concept of the division of labor, occurs when the innate inequalities of human productive output are intensified along different skills. An individual becomes economically specialized when he focuses his productive efforts on an increasingly narrow range of tasks. The most obvious economic impact of specialization can be seen in the tendency for individuals to choose different vocations that are more in line with their interests, skills, opportunities, and education.

Division of labor:

The division of labor is the separation of the tasks in any economic system or organisation so that participants may specialize (specialization). Individuals, organizations, and nations are endowed with or acquire specialized capabilities and either form combinations or trade to take advantage of the capabilities of others in addition to their own. Specialized capabilities may include equipment or natural resources as well as skills and training and combinations of such assets acting together are often important. For example, an individual may specialize by acquiring tools and the skills to use them effectively just as an organization may specialize by acquiring specialized equipment and hiring or training skilled operators. The division of labor is the motive for trade and the source of economic interdependence.

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because the expected return must be greater than the marginal cost of the capital which means that the Net Present Value must be positive.

Option B is correct because the increase in cost of debt or capital would increase the weighted average cost of capital. This is because weighted average cost of capital is directly proportional to cost of capital sources.

Option C is incorrect because its not the cost of one of the capital sources, actually it is the weighted average cost of capital which when starts increasing at a point due to increase in the level of financing is known as breaking point.

So the only statement that is correct is option B.

= Purchase cost + raze old building cost + ownership cost + title guarantee cost - Proceeds from sale of salvaged materials

= $770,000 + $69,000 + $9,900 + $16,400 - $6,900

= $858,400

charle [14.2K]

You said that                             S     =  2(lw + lh + wh)

Divide each side by  2 :             S/2  =  lw + lh + wh

Subtract  'lh'  from each side:    S/2 - lh = lw + wh

Factor the right side:                S/2 - lh  =  w(l + h)

Divide each side by  (l + h) :    (S/2 - lh) / (l + h)  =  w
