Answer:

b) 5

<u>Workers     Total Production</u>

1                      100

2                      190

3                       270

4                       340

5                       400

6                        450

7                        490

8                        520

Explanation:

Profit is maximized when marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue.

i.e MC=MR.

<u>Workers     Total Production  TC        MC           TR           MR</u>

                                                   $            $            $              $

1                        100                 600           -          1000           -    

2                        190                1200       600       1900          900

3                        270               1800        600       2700         800

4                        340               2400       600        3400        700

<em>5  </em>                      400              3000       600         4000       <em> 600</em>

6                        450             3600        600          4500        500

7                        490             4200        600          4900        400

8                        520             4800        600          5200       300

Where TC=Total Cost=worker multiply by cost per worker=$600*1=$600; etc.

MC=Marginal Cost=TC minus preceding TC=$600.

TR=Total Revenue=Total Production multiply by production price=$100*$10=$1,000, etc.

MR=Marginal Revenue=TR minus preceding TR=$1900-$1,000=$900, etc.

If the United States could produce five televisions per hour of labor and China could produce three televisions per hour of labo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.

Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)

China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.

However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.
