Answer:

Emily's opportunity cost of producing 1 milkshake is 1 ice cream sundae.

Ben's opportunity cost of producing 1 milkshake is​ 0.5 ice cream sundae.

Explanation:

Both Emily and Ben own an ice cream parlor.

In an hour Emily can produce 40 milkshakes or 40 ice cream sundaes.

Emily's opportunity cost of producing a milkshake is

= \frac{What\ is\ sacrificed}{What\ is\ gained}

= \frac{40}{40}

= 1 ice cream sundae

In an hour Ben can produce 20 milkshakes or 10 ice cream sundaes.

Ben's opportunity cost of producing a milkshake is

= \frac{What\ is\ sacrificed}{What\ is\ gained}

= \frac{20}{10}

= 0.5 ice cream sundae

We see that Ben has a lower opportunity cost of producing milkshake, so we can say that he has a comparative advantage in producing milkshake.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Arbitrary

Explanation:

The exchange merely serves as a reminder that language is arbitrary. It is subjective and not objective in nature.

  • A widely accepted interpretation of a word or phrase can be change later on with new trends developing.
  • When we say something is arbitrary, it implies that it is subjected to individuals interpretation.
  • One version of analogy is not binding.
  • Nathan must have had his own version of the interpretation of the phrase "cool cat" for him to object the perceived view point of his grandfather.

Appellate courts.

No courts are legislative, they do not make law; they are ‘judicial.’

Only the Supreme Court is a court of original jurisdiction AND a court of appellate jurisdiction. See: US Constitution.
