that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries.
Each farmer in France can produce 10 metric tons of grain or 5 metric tons of dates in a season. Each farmer in Mali can also produce 10 metric tons of grain or 25 metric tons of dates. Please answer the four questions below.

Answer:

In France:

Farmer can produce = 10 metric tons of grain or 5 metric tons of dates in a season

In Mali:

Farmer can produce = 10 metric tons of grain or 25 metric tons of dates.

(1) Mali has the absolute advantage in producing dates because Mali produces more metric tons of dates than France from the same level resources.

(2) No country has an absolute advantage in producing grain because same amount of grain were produced by both the countries with the same level of resources.

(3) Opportunity cost of dates in France = \frac{10}{5}

                                                                 = 2 grain

Opportunity cost of dates in Mali = \frac{10}{25}

                                                       = 0.4 grain  

Therefore, Mali's opportunity cost of producing dates is lower than France, so Mali has a comparative advantage in producing dates.

(4) Opportunity cost of grain in France =  \frac{5}{10}

                                                                = 0.5 dates

Opportunity cost of grain in Mali = \frac{25}{10}

                                                      = 2.5 dates

Therefore, France's opportunity cost of producing grains is lower than Mali, so France has a comparative advantage in producing grains.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (<span>/<span>ruːˈsoʊ</span>/</span>;[1] French: [ʒɑ̃ʒak ʁuso]; 28 June 1712 – 2 July 1778) was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century, mainly active in France. His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment across Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought.

Rousseau's novel Emile, or On Education is a treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship. His sentimental novel Julie, or the New Heloisewas of importance to the development of pre-romanticism[2] and romanticism in fiction.[3] Rousseau's autobiographical writings—his Confessions, which initiated the modern autobiography, and his Reveries of a Solitary Walker—exemplified the late 18th-century movement known as the Age of Sensibility, and featured an increased focus on subjectivity and introspection that later characterized modern writing. His Discourse on Inequality and The Social Contract are cornerstones in modern political and social thought.

During the period of the French Revolution, Rousseau was the most popular of the philosophes among members of the Jacobin Club. He was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris, in 1794, 16 years after his death.

expeople1 [14]
I am pretty sure that correct definition looks like this: A court order to compel or restrain a particular action is called writ of injunction. For example, you have a lawn, and someone deliberately spoils it every day. You can apply to the court for the injunction against this person to deny the access to your lawn for this person.

What trait are narcissists likely to have that is associated with leader emergence but not effectiveness?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

c. high creativity

Explanation:

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by the behavior of an individual who has a great need to feel admired, this individual has a mental disorder that leads him to have an exacerbated perception of himself and his characteristics, having a vanity and a sense of very strong self-importance.

The characteristic that narcissists probably have and is associated with the emergence of the leader, but not effectiveness, may be high creativity, as such individuals can be creative in the sense of self-valuing themselves and their personal achievements, leading to even making up stories to feel valued, while the creativity present in a leader is focused on a vision of the business and management of a company and people, so it is correct to say that a leader's creativity aims to make business more efficient and improve working conditions of its employees.
