Answer:
The answer is: C) The minimum price sellers are willing to accept to sell an extra unit of a good.
Explanation:
A normal supply curve should move upward from left to right. The expresses the Law of Supply: (given that all other factors remain without change) As the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied should also increase.
For example:
An ounce of gold costs right now $1,500 and 100 ounces of gold are being traded right now at that price. If a new buyer comes in and wants to buy the 101th ounce of gold, then following a normal supply curve, the new buyer would need to pay more for that extra ounce of gold, maybe $1,510.
What the supply curve shows us is that given a certain price Y, a company will be willing to sell X amount of goods. The more demand a product has (X + 1) > X, then the price Y will increase until a new balance is found.
Answer:
Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.
When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.
However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.

Answer: d. $240,400
Explanation:
To calculate the Cost of Goods sold for the year we simply add the Opening Balance of Finished goods to the Cost of Goods for the year and then subtract the Finished goods balance at year end (ending).
That would be,
= 233,000 + 31,600 - 24,200
= $240,400
$240,400 is the Cost of Goods sold for the year so Option D is correct.
Answer:
- I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.
Explanation:
<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.
Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.
Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>
Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.
This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.
I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.
I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.
