Assume the macro islands can produce either 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. the micro islands can produ
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is an advantage an individual, organization or country has to use <em>opportunity costs</em> in their production compared to their competitors. The scenario described above does not imply that the individual, organization or country has an absolute advantage.

In the example proposed:

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in fishing boats = \frac{25}{150}=  0.17
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in fishing boats = \frac{30}{300} = 0.10

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in jars = \frac{150}{25} = 6
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in jars = \frac{300}{30} = 10

Thus, <em>the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.</em>

So contribution margin equals
Sales-variable manufacturing cost-SG&A expenses
