Answer:

Both Hillyland and Flatland will be better off in a win-win solution if they engage in comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Suppose each nation decides to specialize in the most suitable​ crop, and trade with the other nation for the other product, the trade-offs will be the products they supposedly can produce but do not have comparative advantage in. For Hillyland it will be rice and for Flatland it will be coffee.

When both nations practice comparative advantage there will be no losers because economic theory suggests that, when countries practice comparative advantage, the sum total of their combined output will be greater than if they had produced all products themselves because they wanted to be self sufficient.

The logic is simple, goods are less costly to produce in a country that has comparative advantage and at the end they could be sold cheaper to the country that traded it off.

lianna [129]

Answer:

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²

According to BMI, this patient is diagnosed as Obese.

Explanation:

BMI known as body mass index is taken from a person height and weight. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. BMI is usually expressed in kg/m².

Mathematically ,

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

we have to convert the weight and the height to the required units.

converting pounds to kg

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

210 pounds = ?

cross multiply

210/2.2 = 95.50 kilograms

converting foot to inches and to meter.

1 foot = 12 inches

5 foot = ?

12 × 5 = 60 inches

60 inches + 9 inches = 69 inches

1 inches = 0.0254 meters

69 inches = ?

69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526  meters

using the formula

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

BMI = 95.50/(1.75)²

BMI = 95.50/3.0625   kg/m²

BMI = 31.1836734694  kg/m²

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²

Nastasia [14]

Letter of credit that can be split up between many suppliers, each able to present their own documents for payment and allowing the trader to take his profits from the balance of the credit, is called Transferable Letter of Credit .

Explanation:

Transferable Letter of Credit is a credit document in which the party can transfer the credit in full or partial to another beneficiary.

A transferable credit letter that enables a receiver to further pass all or part of the payment to another supplier in the chain or to some other receiver. This usually occurs when the recipient is merely a conduit to the actual supplier. Such LC allows the beneficiary to have their records, but to further pass the credit.
