Suppose that Spain and Denmark both produce jeans and olives. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pairs

of jeans while Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 11 pairs of jeans.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that Spain has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and Denmark has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.
Suppose that Spain and Denmark consider trading olives and jeans with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 3 pairs of jeans for each crate of olives it exports to Denmark. Similarly, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/11 crate of olives for each pair of jeans it exports to Spain.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of jeans) would allow both Denmark and Spain to gain from trade? Check all that apply.

a. 2 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
d. 13 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Answer:

b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and

c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Explanation:

                 Olives       Jeans      Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)

Spain            1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Denmark      1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other,  in Olive & Jeans respectively.

Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.

  • '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
  • '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans  

'4 jeans pairs per olive crate'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:

  • 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).  
  • 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)

With its current levels of input use, a firm's MRTS is 1/3 (when capital is on the vertical axis and labor is on the horizontal
bixtya [17]

Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:

= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital

= 1 / 3

Marginal product of labor = 1

Marginal product of capital = 3

This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.

If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.

If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.

What are the primary strategies that can help groups reach consensus?
stiv31 [10]

Answer and explanation:

In the decision-making process, the consensus is the point at which the members of a given group agree with having decided which is the best path they should take to reach an objective. Strategies that can help come to that state faster include encouraging participation since the most team members collaborate in the decision-making, the more involved they will be the project; introducing a voting system in case there are too many differences among the team members to eventually decide what the majority agrees with; and, creating a team developing a solution in case natural consensus cannot be achieved. They will be in charge of deciding what to do based on information obtained from the discussion.

Cognitive evaluation theory would question the use of money as a motivator because external motivational tools may lower intrinsic motivation because people will start working to get the reward, NOT because they are intrinsically motivated or challenged.
