How do comparative advantage and absolute advantage differ?

1 answer:

3 0

Absolute advantage is the ability to produce a good using fewer inputs than another producer, while comparative advantage is the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer (reflecting the relative opportunity cost). One key difference is that one person can have an absolute advantage in both goods, but it is impossible for one person to have a comparative advantage in both goods due to the opportunity cost of a product being the inverse of the opportunity cost of the other.

Mr. Dealer bought a fleet of SUVs (sport utility vehicles) from General Motors (GM) on credit, GM agreeing not to assign the res

Temka [501]

Answer:

Yes, Dealer could collect damages from GM because basically GM breached the contract. Any time a contract is breached, the non-breaching party can sue. But the real question here is what amount could the court assign to Dealer as compensation for damages incurred. If you want to rephrase this question, it would be: What damages did Dealer suffer due to GM's breach.

If the damages are not significant, then the court will probably assign some amount for nominal damages. To be honest, the greatest expenses here are actually the legal costs of the lawsuit. Unless Dealer can prove that assigning the contract actually hurt them (which I doubt), then the court will assign a small amount. Sometimes nominal damages can be very small and mostly symbolic, e.g. $1.

Answer:

perceptual screen

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Carl has most likely created a perceptual screen to shield him from all the competing messages. This term refers to a psychological window through which we interact with people that influences the quality, accuracy and clarity of the communication. Which seems to be the case with Carl, and why he no longer notices new groups or signs.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

How much should you contribute to the retirement account each pay period to take full advantage of the company match

Varvara68 [4.7K]

d) $16.92

Each paycheck is $22,000/26 times per year = $846.15

Your company will match up to 2% of this. .02*$846.15= $16.92

You should contribute this amount each pay period in order to take full advantage of the "company match" because your company will add that much money into your retirement account on top of what you pay in.
