Question Completion:
Production outputs
Luxland Leanderland
Chips 10 4
Pretzels 10 8
Total output 20 12
Answer:
Assuming that Luxland and Leanderland specialize and trade in a way that is advantageous for both of them, the number of pretzels that Leanderland can produce will be 16.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Specialization Output:
Luxland Leanderland
Chips 20 0
Pretzels 0 16
Total output 20 16
b) While it is acknowledged that Luxland has absolute advantage in the production of both chips and pretzels when compared to Leanderland, the total output for both economies, without specialization, remains 32 units (of both chips and pretzels). When they specialize, Leanderland's output increases to 16 units from 12. This results in total output of 36 units instead of 32 for both economies.
Answer:
Cash Balance at the beginning of the year = $4,600
Explanation:
Opening Cash Balance = Closing Cash Balance - Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash
Opening Cash Balance = $18,100 - $13,500 = $4,600
Answer:
. All countries can gain from trade if they all specialize in production according to comparative advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is when a country produces a product at a lower opportunity cost when compared with its trading partners.
Absolute advantage is when a country produces more quantities of goods and services than its trading partners.
A country can still have comparative advantage in production if opportunity cost is increasing once it's opportunity cost doesn't become greater than that of its trading partners.
A country can have comparative advantage without having absolute advantage.

Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Productivity of labor refers to the term which is used by the firms for knowing the efficiency of the labor employed into the production of the output.
Productivity is determined by dividing the output of the firm by the inputs used in the production of the goods and services.
Productivity = (Output ÷ Input)
If the productivity of the labor is not achieved as per the company requirement then there is a fall in the labor employment.
