Answer:
it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.
Explanation:
A country has comparative disadvantage in production if it produces at a higher opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The country with a comparative disadvantage can gain from trade by trading the good with a country that has comparative advantage in the production of that good. i.e. the country produces at a lower opportunity cost
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 B has a comparative disadvantage in the production of beans and country A has a comparative disadvantage in the production of rice
Country B should buy beans from A and A should buy rice from B
It would be 6 because -2x-3= 6 and the exponent comes out to one so 6 times nothing is 6. :)
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Decrease and transfer payments increase.
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers soften cyclic fluctuations through their effect on aggregate demand. Indeed, when the economy is in a contractive or recessive phase, the negative or very reduced economic growth generates a decrease in fiscal revenues while higher unemployment increases public expenditures. Consequently, private sector disposable income decreases less than GDP does, thus limiting the contractual effect on aggregate demand, growth and employment. Therefore, the budget balance worsens in this phase by stimulating the economy and facilitating economic recovery. In the opposite sense, in times of expansion, automatic stabilizers generate higher public revenues and lower spending, which allows to increase the public surplus - or reduce the deficit - avoiding excessive expansion that could have negative effects on cycle volatility and price stability.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Total Revenue is the total amount that is received in return on sales of goods and services.
It is calculated as Price multiply by Quantity.
If the price of a product increases the revenue would also increase ceteris paribus( all things being equal). If the price of a product was $10 and 4 units were purchased Total revenue would be $40 and if price increases to $20 and 4 units were still purchased total revenue would be $80 assuming that we’re not taking into consideration any other factor like elasticity or type of good.
If price increases revenue increases too.
