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

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

In each of the following cases, determine how much GDP and each of its components is affected, if at all:
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

In option A, Its increase in consumption and GDP is $200.

In option B, Investment decisions increase about $1800, net exports drop by $1800 and therefore GDP should remain constant.

In option C, GDP or investment wasn’t increasing only at present because estimates were produced last year.

In option D, Market growth is $470 million, options trading is rising by $30 million but GDP is growing by $500 million.

GDP is just a misleading indicator, it does not take into account recreation, environmental protection, education and health rates, non-market behaviors, changes in wealth disparity, increases of variety or rises in innovation. HDI's social progress Index could be used to highlight a need for people or their ability to assess national growth as the supreme requirement.

You, being a supplier of steak dinners, opened your steak house. Assume the market-clearing price is $20 and the market clearing
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price

Explanation:

A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal &  these curves intersect each other.

Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.

If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)

B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.
