Develop an arithmetic example that illustrates how a nation could have an absolute disadvantage in the production of two goods a

nd still have a comparative advantage in the production of one of them.
Assume that by devoting all of its resources to the production of steel, France can product 40 tons. By devoting all of its resources to televisions, France can produce 60 televisions. Comparable figures for Japan are 20 tons of steel and 10 televisions. In this example, France has an absolute advantage in the production of steel and televisions. France has a comparative advantage in televisions.

Answer:

Comparative advantages result form lower opportunity costs.

  • France's opportunity cost of producing steel instead of TVs = 60 / 40 = 1.5 TVs per ton of steel
  • France's opportunity cost of producing TVs instead of steel = 40 / 60 = 0.67  tons of steel per TV

  • Japan's opportunity cost of producing steel instead of TVs = 10 / 20 = 0.5 TVs per ton of steel
  • Japan's opportunity cost of producing TVs instead of steel = 20 / 10 = 1  tons of steel per TV

France has a comparative advantage in the production of TVs (0.67 < 1), but Japan has a comparative advantage in the production of steel (0.5 < 1.5)

Advertising sales agents typically work under the direct supervision of a manager or supervisor.
wolverine [178]

Advertising sales agents typically work under the direct supervision of a manager or supervisor. True.

Initally, an advertising sales agent works under the direct supervision of a manager or supervisor. They are trained and coached by those who are experienced in the field. Once the sales agent has completed a set amount of hours (based on different agency requirements) they are no longer required to complete check-ins as often. These sales agents are then on their own most of the time by setting their own hours for work as long as they meet company goals.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The performance problem to minor burns will be mainly psychological.

Explanation:

The staff involved will most likely exhibit a reduction in speed at which he or she executed the task which led to the burn.

If the personnel is in a chain of production where their own activity feeds others, it may translate to the increase in the time taken to achieve results.

One solution to this is to critically examine the production process and eliminate the cause of the accident if any.

If the cause of the incident was as a result of carelessness on the part of the staff, then he or she might have to be rescheduled to another department or unit where their current mindset will not stall the overall performance of the team/production line.

Cheers!

Contribution margin per unit and break-even units LO P2 SBD Phone Company sells its waterproof phone case for $90 per unit. Fixe
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $90

Unitary variable cost= $36

Fixed costs= $135,000

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit.

Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Contribution margin= 90 - 36= $54

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 135,000 / 54

Break-even point in units= 2,500 units

The price of digital cameras fell because of improvements in production technology. As a result, the demand for non-digital came
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The statement is false. A decrease in the price of digital cameras would decrease the demand for non-digital cameras, but a decrease in the price of non-digital cameras would not cause the demand for non-digital cameras to decrease.

Explanation:

Suppose we are not currently living in 2019, instead we are back 12 years to 2007 (before the iPhone). Back then , digital cameras were still used by common "unprofessional" users. Digital cameras were an improvement compared to non-digital cameras, so the price of non-digital cameras were much lower than their digital counterparts.

If the price of digital cameras decreased, then the price of non-digital cameras would decrease also. For example, if luxury car companies like Mercedes Benz started selling sedan cars for $20,000, Ford and Chevrolet would be forced to lower the price of their cars since they wouldn't be able to compete with MB at the same price.

But a decrease in the price of non-digital cameras would never decrease their demand. Something else would have caused that decrease. Probably digital cameras became so cheap that everyone could afford one and since they were so much better than non-digital cameras, people simply stopped buying non-digital cameras.
