Answer:
1. Increase in number of orchards
2. Increase in housing prices
Explanation:
1. What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City?
There is going to be increased demand for apples due to this new diet and this increase in demand is going to bring about a hike in the price for apples. This price increase would make business to be viable for these apple farmers. More people would want to own orchards just to make money out of the boom in apples. Because apple farming now seems to be more profitable than other activities. <u><em>So this would cause the number of apple orchards that are within 100 miles of new york city to increase.</em></u>
2. What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?
- There would be an increase in housing prices in New york city as farmers would rather be planting apples on these lands instead of sellng them to developers for building houses. There would be a decrease in the supply of housing in New york.
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.
