Explanation:
1) Famous celebrities and the people with lots of money are often seen with workers round them for their household chores/tasks. Although they are paying money for the work they could have done by themselves but if we analyze closely, they are actually taking advantage of the opportunity cost. The time when they were suppose to do the household work, now they are performing other task in that time which will be giving them much greater economic benefit, taking advantage of the concept of opportunity cost. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo can focus on his workout and daily exercise instead of making daily meals for himself, so he should have hired someone to do the meal work for him while he perform his workout which will help him on the field and will earn him much money.
2) Yes, it is possible for 2 countries to benefit from trade as a whole because they can get into an agreement by allowing free trade between the countries, for example, both the countries could agree that all the trade which will be executed between them would be tax free and no duties will be paid on them. This way the trade numbers would increase and industrialization would take place to meet the export/import orders. On the contrary, trading individually can be not so beneficial because there will be no free trade agreements between individuals i.e. no free lunches, that is why it could cost individuals much more than they can make money out of it.
3) One of the main reasons to oppose policies that restrict trade among the nations is that GDP. GDP is a measure of growth in any country, therefore when there will be no trade among countries, it would result in less productions of goods and services which which lead to less industrialization, which then will result to low employment and more unemployment, ultimately resulting in very low growth for any country and since growth is the only way forward for any nation, economists oppose policies that restrict trade among countries/nations.
I hope this detailed answer of mine help the poster.
Thank You and Good Luck.
Answer:
D. C
Explanation:
As Downtown Coffee Roasters is a premium cafe which is reputed for its superior customer service. The coffee shop also serves gourmet food to its customers, which allows it to charge a premium price. Whereas, Budget Beans is a chain of coffee shops that charges the lowest price in the industry due to its self-service policy. However, Perky's Coffee Inc. has found a balance between these two strategic groups by using automated ordering to free up its employees to work as master baristas and bakers, thus focusing on creating excellent products. It charges a price slightly above that of Budget Beans. In this scenario, Perky's Coffee is following a blue ocean strategy. In blue ocean strategy, organizations pursuit differentiation and low cost at the same time simultaneously which Perky's Coffee Inc. is doing here in this case. Perky's has created a totally new demand by following this strategy quite successfully and has made the competition totally and almost irrelevant.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
All of the statements being made are False. Productivity is measured by stats. For example, in any given month a certain number of products are produced by a fixed number of employees, the next month the same value is calculated and compared with the previous month. This lets you know if productivity is increasing or decreasing. The quality of anything depends on the time and effort being implemented in making something, if this changes then so does the quality. Exogenous variables are simply variables that are not affected by other variables in a given environment, this does not mean that they cannot change. Even though they are independent they can still change. For example, the weather is an exogenous variable but it can still change from Raining to Sunny.
