Complete/Correct Question:
Assume that Brad and Theresa can switch between producing wheat and producing beef at a constant rate.
Minutes Needed to Make
1 Bushel of Wheat
Brad: 10
Theresa: 6
1 Pound of Beef
Brad: 12
Theresa: 10
Brad has a comparative advantage in the production of
a. wheat and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of beef.
b. beef and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
c. both goods and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of neither good.
d. neither good and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of both goods.
Answer:
B, beef and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's define comparative advantage.
Comparative advantage can be said to be the ability to produce a product at a far lesser rate than is obtainable.
From the above question, it can be deduced that Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat going by the huge difference in the time needed to produce wheat.
On the other hand, Brad has a comparative advantage in the production of beef. This is because the time difference in the production time of wheat isn't the same with beef and as such Brad has some advantage in this regard.
Cheers.
Answer: Option C
Explanation: In a market system, the suppliers are willing to produce those goods that have value to the consumers directly or indirectly. The focus is on maximizing output for achieving the economies of scale so that goods could be sold at a lower price, thus, increasing the sales.
Hence,the suppliers in case of market system use more of capital goods as they produce more output and relatively shortens the cost per piece.
Thus, the correct option is C.
Answer:
$10,503.59
Explanation:
This question requires us to find how much you have to deposit today if:
Fv = 18,000
Time = 9 years
PV= fv/(1 + i)^n
N = 9 X 12 = 108
I/y = 0.5%
PV = $18,000 / 1.005^108
= $10,503.59
Therefore what you have to deposit today is $10,503.59
Answer:
Option B, positively skewed, is the right answer.
Explanation:
A positive-skewed distribution generally has a long right or positive tail. The positive-skew distributions are also known as the Right-skewed distribution. The main reason behind calling this a positive-skew is that this skew has a long tail in the positive direction on the number line.
In the given question, positively-skewed implies to one-year return risk-neutral distribution, as the delta put raises, the volatility decreases but not in the same proportion. In such a condition, the median will be less than the mean. Therefore, it will be Right-Skewed or Positively Skewed Distribution.
