Answer:
. All countries can gain from trade if they all specialize in production according to comparative advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is when a country produces a product at a lower opportunity cost when compared with its trading partners.
Absolute advantage is when a country produces more quantities of goods and services than its trading partners.
A country can still have comparative advantage in production if opportunity cost is increasing once it's opportunity cost doesn't become greater than that of its trading partners.
A country can have comparative advantage without having absolute advantage.

Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

Explanation:
The price-earnings ratio is the financial ratio that compares the market price of a share with its earnings in order to determine whether the share gives earnings that makes it a good buy.
Price-earnings ratio=market price per share/earnings per share
market price per share for 2017 is $42
earnings per share=net income-dividends/average common stock outstanding
net income is $108,000
dividends is nil
average number of common stock is 90,000
earnings per share=$108,000-$0/90,000=$1.2
price earnings ratio=$42/$1.2=35 times
Answer: b. $30; $20; $0
Explanation:
<em>Admission prices to Dollywood are $50 for a one-day ticket, $80 for a two-day ticket, and $100 for an annual pass. Based on these prices, the marginal cost of visiting Dollywood the second day is </em><em><u>$30</u></em><em>, the third day is </em><em><u>$20</u></em><em>, and the fourth day is </em><em><u>$0.</u></em>
The marginal cost is the extra cost per day of going to Dollywood.
Second day
Marginal cost = Second day price - First day
= 80 - 50
= $30
Third day
Marginal cost = Third day price - Second day
= 100 - 80
= $20
Fourth Day
Marginal cost = Fourth day price - third day
= 100 - 100
= $0
