Answer:
D. Neither country could gain from trade with each other because neither one has a comparative advantage
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to the units sacrificed from production of one good to produce an extra unit of another good.
In the given case, the number of workers are same.
The opportunity cost for producing corn instead of oats by Cornland would be : 10/40 units of oats = 0.4 units of oats
Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing corn by Oatland = 5/ 20 = 0.4 units of oats
Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing oats by Cornland = 4 units of corn
Opportunity cost for producing oats by Oatland = 4 units of corn.
As can be seen, none of the two i.e Cornland or Oatland enjoys a comparative advantage over other since for both, the opportunity cost is the same.
Hence, neither country would gain out of trade.
Answer:
They should conduct a market research, since probably they are targeting the wrong market segment.
Explanation:
A market research, if done correctly, should allow them to gather information about who are their potential customers (target market) and what do they need or want.
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Nominal GDP:
= (No. of burgers sold × Selling price of each) + (No. of fries sold × Selling price of each)
= (4000 × 3) + (6000 × 1.5)
= 12,000 + 9,000
= $21,000
Real GDP (in 2008 prices)
= (No. of burgers sold × Selling price of each) + (No. of fries sold × Selling price of each)
= (4,000 × $2.50) + (6000 × $2)
= 10,000 + 12,000
= $22,000
GDP deflator:
= (Nominal GDP ÷ Real GDP) × 100
= (21000 ÷ 22000) × 100
= 95.45
B. demand and supply both decrease, leaving price essentially unchanged.
Answer: suggests that the firm's previous choices were not the best ones.
Explanation: For a long-tenured top-level manager to make such proclamation, shows the inefficiencies of the firm which he is a part of. He obviously has been with the firm for a very long time and making that proclamation will also be a dent in his image as a manager.
