Answer: $112.08
Explanation:
Given that,
Life insurance policy = $240,000
Cost = $210
Amount to be paid by company to old lady if she survives (A):
= $240,000 - $210
= $239,790
Probability that she survives (P1) = 0.999592
Probability that she doesn't survives (P2) = 1 - 0.999592
= 0.000408
Expected value of this policy for the insurance company:
= (P1 × cost of policy) - (P2 × A)
= 0.999592 × $210 - 0.000408 × $239,790
= $209.91432 - $97.83432
= $112.08
Answer:
US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.
Explanation:
Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.
Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)
China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.
However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.

Cite one example in each category; provide a sentence or two in support of each choice. (Hint: A "99cents menu" is very easily copied and is not a good source of sustained advantage.)
