Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
If workers demand and receive higher real wages the cost of production will rise. This is because workers(labor) is an input of production. The wages is the reward for the direct labor for work done. So increase in wages lead to an increase cost of production.
Due to this, the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts leftward i.e reduces the market supply because producers will produce less at a high cost of production and produce more at a lower cost of production.
Answer:
Explanation:
United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.
United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers
= 
= 0.3
United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.
= 
= 3.33
So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.
Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.
Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers
= 
= 1.25
Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos
= 
= 0.8
So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.
Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.
Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.
