Answer:
Following is the solution for the given problem.
Explanation:
Best order size, EOQ =√2DS/H
EOQ = √2*4700*60/5
EOQ = 336 units.
D = 4700/300 = 15.66.
σ L= √∑σ²
= √3*(5)² = 8.66.
Reorder point, R = D*L+ z σ L
Reorder point, R = 15.66*3 + 1.282*8.66
Reorder point, R = 58 units.
Answer:
should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A should specialise in the production of beans and B should specialise in the production of rice

It can affect the money supply, or the money of the country, because it encourages debtors to keep loaning from the government to finance their personal interests.
