b. It would be impossible for Korea to have an absolute advantage over another country in both products.
c. Korea is efficient in the production of both goods.
d. Korea's opportunity cost of shoes is the inverse of its opportunity cost of soccer balls.
Answer:
d. Korea's opportunity cost of shoes is the inverse of its opportunity cost of soccer balls.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is defined as the cost of choosing or picking particular option or alternative over another option or alternative.
In question, we are told that Korea is capable of producing either shoes or soccer balls or some combination of the two.
Therefore Korea would have to make a list of priorities also know as alternatives or options, to decide if
a. they would produce shoes,
b. or soccer balls
c. or a combination of both shoes or soccer balls.
This process described here is the process of Opportunity cost. Korea would then weigh their options and choose which is better for them either based on profit or any other reason.
Hence, Korea's opportunity cost of shoes is the inverse of its opportunity cost of soccer balls.
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Option (c) is not a disadvantage of a divisional type of organizational structure. All the other options are the disadvantages of a divisional organizational structure.
The divisional structure has drawbacks, including conceivably scattering specialized ability and skill or fostering unfortunate competitions among divisions. The divisional structure likewise may build costs by requiring useful pros and better qualified administrators for every division. Additionally, on the grounds that there is an overemphasis on divisional as opposed to organizational objectives, the divisional structure may bring about copying assets and endeavors -, for example, staff administrations, offices and work force - crosswise over divisions.
The correct answer is C. The government
Explanation:
The key feature of a planned economy is the strong influence and control of government in the economy. Indeed, in a planned economy it is the government the entity that decides on trade and production, this includes the prices of goods and the types of products that should be manufactured. Moreover, this does not occur in market economies because in these customers, produces and the law of supply/demand determine factors of the economy. According to this, in a planned economy prices are controlled by government.
