Answer:

ROW

Explanation:

Given that,

UK has 50M workers and 100M units of capital.

ROW has 5B workers and 4B units of capital.

A country is labor abundant if the endowment of labor in that country relative to the other factors is greater than the other countries.

Therefore,

In UK:

= 50 workers ÷ 100M units of capital

= 0.5 workers

For every unit of capital there are 0.5 workers.

In ROW:

= 5B workers ÷ 4B units of capital

= 1.25 workers

For every unit of capital there are 1.25 workers.

Above calculations clearly shows that ROW is relatively labor abundant and UK is relatively capital abundant.

Juanita makes $42 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $4
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It will purchase at the local store at an economic cost of $123

Explanation:

Answer:

It will puchase the skirt across town as it has the less economic cost.

Explanation:

We are going to add up the opportunity cost (lost wages) to the cost of the skirt:

place          travel-time Price Cost to travel Economic Cost

local store       30  $ 102.00   $ 21.00   <u> $ 123.00 </u>

across town       60  $ 85.00   $ 42.00   $  127.00

neighboring city 120  $ 76.00   $ 84.00   $ 160.00

*travel-time we multiple the time it took each eway by 2

**The  cost to travle will be Juanitas wages per hour ($42) times the travel-time/ 60

That's because the wages are express in hours and the travel time in minutes so we convert into hours

Then, the economic cost is the sum of the value of the skirt and the lost wages.

<em>Juanita, as a rational consumer will chose to purchase at the lower cost.</em>

The typical consumer's food basket in the base year 2015 is as follows: 30 chickens at $4 each 10 hams at $5 each 10 steaks at $
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

A) change in the cost of eating index = <u>20% increase</u>

B) Suppose that consumers are completely indifferent between two chickens and one ham. For this example, how large is the substitution bias in the official "cost-of-eating" index?

The <u>INCREASE</u> in the cost-of-eating index is <u>18</u> %.

The <u>OVERESTIMATE</u> of inflation in the cost of eating reflects substitution bias.

Explanation:

2015

product               units              unit cost               total

chickens              30                      $4                   $120

hams                    10                      $5                     $50

<u>steaks                  10                      $8                     $80</u>

total                                                                       $250

2016

product               units              unit cost               total

chickens              30                      $5                   $150

hams                    10                      $7                     $70

<u>steaks                  10                      $8                     $80</u>

total                                                                       $300

A) ($300 - $250) / $250 = 20%

B)

if consumers are indifferent for 2 chickens per 1 ham, then the new basket should be assuming consumers will purchase the cheapest option:

2016

product               units              unit cost               total

hams                    25                      $7                   $175

<u>steaks                  10                      $8                     $80</u>

total                                                                       $255

the increase in inflation would have been = ($255 - $250) / $250 = 2%

the substitution bias = reported inflation - real inflation = 20% - 2% = 18%
