Absolute advantage is the ability to produce a good using fewer inputs than another producer, while comparative advantage is the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer (reflecting the relative opportunity cost). One key difference is that one person can have an absolute advantage in both goods, but it is impossible for one person to have a comparative advantage in both goods due to the opportunity cost of a product being the inverse of the opportunity cost of the other.
Answer:
The expected profit is -$13,162.
I would not recomend the investor to make this investment.
Explanation:
The expected profit can be calculated multypling the probabilities of every outcome and the profit of each outcome, and substracting the total invevstment.
The outcomes are:
1) probability 0.39 of a $23,000 loss,
2) probability 0.24 of a $8700 profit,
3) probability 0.12 of a $31,000 profit, and
4) probability 0.25 of breaking even
NOTE: It is assumed that the outcomes does not include the initial investment.
Then, the expected profit of this investment is:
![E(P)=[0.39*(-23,000)+0.24*8,700+0.12*31,000+0.25*0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=[-8,970+2,088+3,720+0]-10,000\\\\E(P)=-3,162-10,000\\\\E(P)=-13,162](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%28P%29%3D%5B0.39%2A%28-23%2C000%29%2B0.24%2A8%2C700%2B0.12%2A31%2C000%2B0.25%2A0%5D-10%2C000%5C%5C%5C%5CE%28P%29%3D%5B-8%2C970%2B2%2C088%2B3%2C720%2B0%5D-10%2C000%5C%5C%5C%5CE%28P%29%3D-3%2C162-10%2C000%5C%5C%5C%5CE%28P%29%3D-13%2C162)
Answer : The amount needed to spend to save $170 is, $32.3
Explanation :
As we are given that an online buying club requires an annual fee of $170 and a 19% discount on purchases.
Now we have to determine the amount needed to spend to save $170.
As, for every $100 the discount will be = $19
So, for every $170 the discount will be = 
= $32.3
Thus, the amount needed to spend to save $170 is, $32.3
