Assume France and Mali can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning

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.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?

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.

. How does analyzing fixed and variable costs help you to set a sale price that will generate profit? 2. How is profit affected
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1. Apart from helping to know the average cost of a product, analyzing fixed and variable cost will help to derive the break even point.

2. Profit will go down

Explanation:

1. The size of the selling price and the variable cost determine contribution per unit of a product. Contribution per unit is Price minus variable cost. This shows the  contribution of sales revenue towards covering the fixed cost of a product.

2. Relevant range is the estimated or budgeted activity level which defines a business volume of production or operation, it is both maximum and minimum threshold within which the entity must operate to expect certain level of cost and revenue.

Sometimes fixed costs are fixed within a relevant range of activities and outside such range, fixed cost may become variable, which will all things being equal impact negatively on the price.

Also, within relevant range volume discount may be achieved and outside such range, this may be forfeited which, will also reduce profit all things being equal.
