Suppose that France and Denmark both produce fish and stained glass. France's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained gl

andriy [413]

Answer:

France has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass.

Denmark has a comparative advantage in production of fish.

France will gain from trade as long as it gets more than 3 pounds of fish for each pane of stained glass.

Denmark can gain from trade if it gets more than 0.09 pane of stained glass for each pound of fish it exports.

4 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass.

7 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass.

Explanation:

France and Denmark both produce fish and stained glass.

France's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass

= 3 pounds of fish

Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass

= 11 pounds of fish

France's opportunity cost of producing a pound of fish

= $\frac{1}{3}$

= 0.33 pane of stained glass

Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a pound of fish

= $\frac{1}{11}$

= 0.09 pane of stained glass

France has a lower opportunity cost of producing stained glass so we can say it has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass. While Denmark has a comparative advantage in the production of fish.

If both countries start to trade with each other, France will gain from trade as long as it gets more than 3 pounds of fish for each pane of stained glass.

While Denmark can gain from trade if it gets more than 0.09 pane of stained glass for each pound of fish it exports.

Both the countries will gain from trade if the trade price lies between their opportunity cost. both countries will gain from trade if the price is 4 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass or 7 pounds of fish per pane of stained glass.

Real per capita GDP in Taiwan in 1961 was about $500, but it doubled to about $1000.00 by 1981. a. What was the average annual e

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

the average annual economic growth rate in Taiwan from 1961 to 1981 was 41.42%

Explanation:

Hi, we need to use the following formula.

$FV=PV(1+r)^{t}$

Where:

FV = GDP in 1981 ($1,000)

PV = GDP in 1961 ($500)

r = growth rate

t = years from 1981 to 1961 (20 years)

So, it should look like this:

$1,000=500(1+r)^{20}$

Now, we solve for "r"

$\frac{1,000}{500} =(1+r)^{20}$

$2=(1+r)^{20}$

$\sqrt[20]{2} -1=r$

$r=0.4142$

So, the growth rate of Taiwan´s GDP is 41.42%

Best of luck.

In a market economy, a high price will usually cause

Talja [164]

Answer:

C) producers to supply more and consumers to buy less.

Explanation:

The typical supply curve is upward-sloping (higher price leads to higer quantity supplied) and the typical demand curve is downward sloping (higher price lower quantity demanded).

Price is a measure of how much one good can be exchanged for other things. Production incurred cost (tend to rise as more resources become harder to obtain) so to supply more suppliers will demand higher price. Purchasing higher price good means consumers have less money (less of other goods can be bought) consumer will buy less good at higher price.
