Answer: (i) $20 per model

(ii) $27 per model

(iii) Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models.

Explanation:

A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore,

Ginny's Opportunity cost of producing one model = \frac{400}{20}

                                                                                      = $20 per model

Eric’s opportunity cost of building models = $20 + 35% of $20

                                                                      = $20 + $7

                                                                      = $27 per model

Hence, Ginny has a comparative advantage in building models because Ginny's opportunity cost of building model is lower than Eric's opportunity cost.

In the short run, which of the following rates of growth in the money supply is likely to lead to the lowest level of unemployme
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

C) 9 percent per year

Explanation:

In the short run an increase in the money supply should increase total output in the economy, decreasing unemployment. Therefore, the larger the increase in the money supply, the larger the decrease in unemployment.

But in the long run it will also increase the inflation rate, increasing the interest rates and producing a boomerang effect which will lower the money supply and increase unemployment.  

The Fed should try to maintain low, stable interest rates, not roller coaster type interest rates.
