Answer:
($3.00, 420 lbs) and ($2.10, 510 lbs)
Explanation:
A shift in demand occurs when the quantity of a product consumers wants changes at all price levels.
A shift to the right indicates an increase in quantity demanded at all prices, while a shift to the left indicates a reduction in quantity demanded at all prices.
In the given scenario there is a shift in demand to the right with increase in 20 lbs of onions.
So at every price level there will be an increase in quantity demanded by 20 lbs.
According to the diagram at price $3 quantity initially demanded was 400 lbs. With the demand shift it will now be 400 + 20 = 420 lbs.
At price $2.10 demand was initially 490 lbs now it will be 490 + 20 = 510 lbs
Answer:
Explanation:
United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.
United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers
=
= 0.3
United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.
=
= 3.33
So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.
Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.
Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers
=
= 1.25
Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos
=
= 0.8
So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.
Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.
Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.
