Answer:

False

Explanation:

A proposed trade of 12.5 pounds of butter for 20 guns may NOT be mutually agreeable to both countries.

The main idea of comparative advantage is NOT trade by barter but buying and selling. Comparative advantage is a principle that states that a country should produce more of the goods and services which it can produce at a lower opportunity cost than that of trade partners and thereafter sell to those partners at a lower cost than they would have produced it themselves in the bid to be self reliant.

It is difficult to agree to such a deal of 12.5 pounds of butter for 20 guns because it is impossible to conclude that they are even or equal in value. The both countries should sell to each other as money is a common means of exchange.

The tragedy of the commons results when​ ___________. A. too many public goods are provided.B. common pool resources are overuse
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1)  "B": common pool resources are overused.

2) "C": overfishing in public waters.

Explanation:

1) The tragedy of the commons is a resource-based economic problem that takes place when given resources are overexploited without a clear renewable plan or government restrictions that avoid the extinction of those resources. Those resources are usually scarce.  

2) <em>Overfishing in public waters</em> is a clear example of the tragedy of the commons. Certain types of fish are scarce. The situation worsens when there are no clear limits imposed on fishermen who tend to overexploit fishing for economic purposes. A real-life example of this is the collapse of the North Atlantic Cod fisheries on Canada's eastern coast.

You can now sell 40 cars per month at $20,000 per car, and demand is increasing at a rate of 3 cars per month each month. What i
MArishka [77]

Answer:

More than $1500 price per car per month has to be dropped.

Explanation:

Given:

price per car = $20,000

car sale per month = 40

rate of increase in demand = 3

Solution:

Revenue R = Price × Quantity = P * Q

From the above given data

P = 20,000

Q = 40

R = P*Q

dQ/dt = 3

We have to find the rate at which the price is to be dropped before monthly revenue starts to drop.

R = P*Q

dR/dt = (dP/dt)Q + P(dQ/dt)  

          = (dP/dt) 40 + 20,000*3 < 0

          = (dP/dt) 40 < 60,000

         = dP/dt < 60000/40

         = dP/dt < 1,500

Hence the price has to be dropped more than $1,500 before monthly revenue starts to drop.

Answer:

Production plan that will yield the least cost of $49,630 is shown in the attached document.

It entails maxing out the regular capacity from period 1 to 5, and using regular to produce only 140 units in period 6

It further entails using overtime to produce 10 units from period 1 to 5. And subcontracting only in period 4 to cover the demand/production gap.

This will keep inventory of 10 units in period 2, which is carried into period 3 and consumed in period 4.

A farmer sells a bushel of corn to the supermarket for $12. The supermarket then sells the corn to customers for $25. What is th
allsm [11]

Answer:

$ 25

Explanation:

As per the description, the exact amount that is being contributed from the corn bushel to the Gross Domestic Product would be $ 25. The price at which the farmer sold it to the supermarket would not be included in the GDP because it would be considered as an intermediary good because the good purchased for the resale purpose is not included in GDP as it leads to double-counting. Thus, <u>only the price of the final good i.e. $ 25 would be included in GDP as it will now be used for final consumption by the customers</u>.
