Answer:

C) The theory of Comparative Advantage

Explanation:

The theory of Comparative Advantage is a theory of international trade and it comes into effect in a situation where the <u>opportunity cost of producing a good or offering by a service by a country is lower than that of other countries. </u>

Specifically, to understand the theory of comparative advantage the opportunity cost of production or offering a service has to be measured in terms of the trade off between those countries. It simply means when a country has the comparative advantage then it derives more benefits from other countries buying its products as compared to buying their products and vice versa.

In the question, the European Union has the Comparative advantage over South Africa because the trade-off between buying South Africa's edible fruits and nuts and selling other products to South Africa benefits the European countries.

European countries derive more benefits because South Africa buys their goods at a cost higher than it takes them to produce while they buy at the normal cost from South Africa. The <u>trade-off benefits Europe </u>

Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Economic Growth can be defined as an increment in production capacity of an economy using all its available resources. The PPF illustrates the largest possible quantity of goods and services a nation can produce base on its available resources. An outward shift in the economy’s production possibility frontier (PPF) depicts  a raise in productive capacity of an economy.  An outward shift implies that an economy has capacity to  increase its production outputs. This can be as a result of   the economy employing new technology, allowing specialization, increasing its labour force, using new production approaches etc. Likewise, an inward shifting PPF implies an economy has witness a loss or exhaustion of some of its scarce resources and it will culminate into reduction in an economy’s productive potential.

Effects of saving and investment upon national GDP

level of savings direct related to the level of investment, investment feeds on available finance from saving. If more people save, the banks will be able  to lend more to firms to support their investments.

low savings and investment implies a PPF inward shift. low savings  in economy implies that the economy is opting for short-term consumption over long-term investment, and this will lead to future undue pressure on available infrastructures ad resources.

spending  on consumer goods vs capital goods effect on the economy

In the short run, the economy must prefer using available resources to produce capital rather than consumer goods. Standards of living will be affected, as private consumption will have access to fewer resources. However, in the longer run, the raised production of capital goods will boost  the production of more consumer goods ad therefore standards of living will experience more increase than they would have witness if the economy had spent most of its income on consumer goods.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

In marketing, price discrimination refers to selling the same product to different buyers at different prices depending on each buyer's purchasing power or preferences which result in them being able and willing to pay different prices. E.g. a movie theater that charges different prices depending on the age of the movie goers.

In this case, the fact that a factory is located far away from your house might result in a higher price due to delivery costs, but that doesn't meant that it is using price discrimination. E.g. I just purchased a new refrigerator online and I had to pay a delivery fee that increased its price because the seller is from another state. I purchased the refrigerator from that retailer because it lower prices including delivery costs, but someone that purchased it from the same city will probably pay even less than me. But it is just logistics, since I live far away I have to wait 3 days for delivery and pay for it.
