Answer: Higher; Comparative advantage
Explanation:
A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Therefore,
United states's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = 
= 5 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes
Canada's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = 
= 2 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes
Hence, Canada has a comparative advantage in producing pairs of shoes because Canada's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is lower than United states opportunity cost.

Answer:
22 months
Explanation:
The 20% down payment which is target savings =$165,000*20%=$33,000
The are two paychecks which is $1,400 each
monthly savings is one paycheck=$1,400
rate of compounding is 7.83% yearly=7.83%/12=0.006525 monthly
The number of months the savings will reach $33,000 can be computed using the nper formula in excel as shown below:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate is the monthly rate i,e 0.006525
pmt is the monthly savings of $1,400
pv is the present worth of the savings which is unknown
fv is the future value of target savings which is $33,000
=nper(0.006525,-1400,0,33000)=22 months approximately
Answer:
Standard.
