Answer:
it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.
Explanation:
A country has comparative disadvantage in production if it produces at a higher opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The country with a comparative disadvantage can gain from trade by trading the good with a country that has comparative advantage in the production of that good. i.e. the country produces at a lower opportunity cost
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country B has a comparative disadvantage in the production of beans and country A has a comparative disadvantage in the production of rice
Country B should buy beans from A and A should buy rice from B
Answer:

Explanation:
Alain's net investment income tax is the lesser of 1) his net investment income ($53,000) or 2) his modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 .
Therefore
$304,000 - $200,000 = $104,000
3.8%×$104,000= $3,952
($53,000 × 3.8% )= $2,014
The additional tax that alain will pay on his net investment income for the year is $2,014
