Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Specialization means a company or country concentrating on producing few commodities. In practice, a state or company will focus on the products it can produce more efficiently. It means focusing on goods they can manufacture at a lower cost compared to other countries.

The USA can specialize in the goods and services it can produce at a lower cost than other nations. It can then export these products to other countries at competitive prices. For products that are costly to manufacture in the USA, it is prudent to import them from countries that can produce them at lower costs.

Some products manufactured in other countries at a lower cost may be sold in the USA at fair prices than when produced in the USA.

joja [24]

Answer:

A.$12,000

B.$8000

C.MRPL/PL = 3

MRPK/PK =2

D) Since each of the above calculated ratios are more than one, therefore adding additional worker or tractor will increase the total revenue for each of the dollar spent.

Explanation:

(a) The Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRPL) can said to be the additional revenue generated when an additional worker is employed.

$66,000 - $54,000 = $12,000

Thus, MRPL is 12,000

b) Marginal revenue product of capital is

( 62000 - 54000)= $8000

c) MRPL/PL = 12000/ 4000= 3

MRPK/PK = 8000/4000=2

Therefore Since these two ratios are not equal it means the firm is not using the least cost combination of inputs.

d) Since each of the above calculated ratios are more than one, therefore adding additional worker or tractor will increase the total revenue for each of the dollar spent.
