Answer:

D

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

For example, England produces 10 yards of clothes and 5 kg of cheese. France produces 5 yards of clothes and 10 kg of cheese.  

for England,  

opportunity cost of producing clothes = 5/10 = 0.5

opportunity cost of producing cheese = 10/5 = 2

for France,  

opportunity cost of producing cheese = 5/10 = 0.5

opportunity cost of producing clothes = 10/5 = 2

England has a comparative advantage in the production of clothes and France has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the highest of the minimum wages.

Explanation:

The company will have the pay the minimum wage that is the highest because they are under the authority of all three governments and paying the highest minimum wage would ensure that they automatically follow the minimum wages set by the other two authorities.

For instance; the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, the state minimum wage is $10 per hour and the city minimum is $12 per hour. When the company pays $12 an hour, they would be adhering to the city minimum and automatically adhering to the Federal and State minimums as well.

Depends on if you've got it on PC or console. The console versions obviously work on the latest generation machines and come with the texture pack (which has always been free), modding capabilities (better on XBONE) and all DLC's.

So if you're looking to take your PS3/XB360 copy to the next level then I'd say yes, personally.

The PC version gets you the DLC's thrown in and that's all, assuming you don't own any of the DLC's this might be he better value overall depending on offers, so do some research, you're not gaining anything bar the DLC's though, you could already get the texture pack and mod.

Short answer: Consoles: Yes. PC: Only if the DLC's are cheaper that way.
