Suppose that Portugal and Sweden both produce rye and shoes. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 3 bushe

ls of rye while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 11 bushels of rye.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell that

Portugal

Sweden

___________has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes and selector 2

Portugal

Sweden

_____________has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

Suppose that Portugal and Sweden consider trading shoes and rye with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than selector 1

1 bushel

1/11 bushel

1/3 bushel

3 bushels

11 bushels

1/11 bushell

Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than _____ of shoes for each bushel of rye it exports to Portugal

1/11 pair

1/3 pair

3 pairs

11 pairs

1 pair

1/11 pair

Answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of rye) would allow both Sweden and Portugal to gain from trade? Check all that apply. (TWO OUT OF FOUR APPLY)

7 bushels of rye per pair of shoes

10 bushels of rye per pair of shoes

2 bushels of rye per pair of shoes
1 bushel of rye per pair of shoes in terms of rye) would allow both Sweden and Portugal to gain from trade

Answer:

  • Portugal : Shoes Opportunity Cost ; Sweden : Rye Opportunity Cost
  • Trade gainful if :  Portugal gets > 3 rye per shoes; Sweden gets > 1/11 shoes per rye
  • Gainful Terms of Trade : '7 ryes per per shoes', 10 ryes per shoes'.

Explanation:

                  Shoes      Rye      Trade off Ratio (Rye:Shoes )

Portugal      1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Sweden       1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Portugal & Sweden have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other, in shoes & rye respectively. Portugal will export shoes to Sweden (importer). Sweden will export rye to Portugal (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio - Portugal gets more than 3 ryes per shoes, Sweden gets more than 1/11 shoes per rye.

'2 ryes per shoes' & '1 rye per shoes' : are not gainful trade ratios for Portugal, as it is getting more i.e 3 ryes per shoes at its own domestic ratio.

'7 ryes per per shoes'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Portugal: As it gets 7 i.e more than 3 ryes per shoes.
  • Sweden : As it gets 0.14 = (1/7) i.e more than 0.09 ryes per shoes

'10 ryes per shoes' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Portugal : As it gets 10 i.e more than 3 pairs of ryes per shoes
  • Sweden : As it gets 0.10 = (1/10) i.e more than 0.09 ryes per shoes

Determine if the people in the example have benefited (i.e., are winners) or have been harmed (i.e., are losers) by unexpected i
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Winners

  • 3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

Losers

  • Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.
  • Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.
  • Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.
  • The US federal government which had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Explanation:

When unexpected inflation occurs, the usual plan to by Monetary Institutions of a country is raising the interest rates.

By doing that, they want to stop it or slowly decelerate it.

So that it becomes more expensive to take a loan, the idea is to reduce consumption.

In Economics, it's a bad scenario after all. Few winners. Many losers.

So, let's examine them

Winners

  • 3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

At first, The 3rd National is going to be winning since the value of the debt will rise, depending on the type of contract and an increase in the interest rate will demand corrections on the monthly payments. But on the other hand, the number of default clients and overdue installments will raise for sure.

Losers

  • Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.

Inflation reduces the real buying value of her checks. And her pension can't grow otherwise this will feed the inflation too.

  • Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.

Since his money is not invested then He's not having any earning that might give him some compensation. So his money is even more devalued.

  • Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.

Depending on the contract Joy might be sleepless. Either her monthly payments will become more expensive or She may experience difficulties because of the weekly growing prices.

  • The US federal government had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Certainly, the president and his secretary will have to address the fact that due to inflation and the chosen medicine make the nation's debt up to the sky. They must renegotiate the payment deadlines.

In the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will earn: (A) normal profits because economic profits will attract new fir
enot [183]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.

In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.

There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.

This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.

At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.

Vivian goes to an auction and sees a rare antique lamp that is an identical match to one she already has. At the proper time she
BigorU [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Any auction is either “with reserve” or “without reserve.” And the answer how an auctioneer handles higher bids rests with the type of auction being conducted.

In a with reserve auction, the auctioneer may refuse a higher bid (reserve the right to refuse …) where in a without reserve auction, any higher bid must be accepted.

Said another way, in a with reserve auction, the auctioneer is not bound to sell to the highest bidder. In essence, the next higher increment represents the minimum bid.
