Answer:
Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese
Explanation:
Suppose that Italy and Sweden both produce rye and cheese.
Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 bushels of rye while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 bushels of rye.
<u>By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese because it has a lower opportunity cost (as a matter of fact half the cost) in comparison with Sweden.</u>
<u>Comparative advantage is an economic term that refers to an economy's ability to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost than that of trade partners</u>

Answer:
Explanation:
The total equivalent units of direct materials and conversion costs for the month has been computed and attached.
Note that the conversion cost for the ending work in process was calculated as:
= $35,000 × 28%
= $35,000 × 0.28
= $9,800
Check the attachment for further analysis.
Answer:
In the first range of prices (with PED 15 - 2.5) as the price of the good or service falls, total revenue should increase. Imagine that a 1% reduction in price will result in a 15% increase in quantity demanded. The same happens when PED = 2.5, since a 1% reduction will increase quantity demanded by 2.5%.
e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 115, total revenue = $11,385
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 102.5, total revenue = $10,147.50
On the other range (PED = 1.5 - 0.75) as the price of the good or service falls, at first total revenue will increase but then it will decrease.
e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 101.5, total revenue = $10,048.50
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 100.75, total revenue = $9,974.25
