Answer:

Paul samuelson argued that contrary to the standard interpretation, in certain circumstances the theory of comparative advantage predicts that a rich country might actually be worse off by switching to a free trade regime with a poor nation.

So the correct anwer is A. True

Explanation:

Paul Samuelson was an American economist called by the Swedish Academy as the American economist that contributed more to science than anyone else. He deduced that if a free trade deal would be pursued by a rich and a poor country, the one that would perform better would be the poor country because the currency exchange, the tariffs, the costs of production and the competence would make the poor country's products more attractive than the rich country ones.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

1. Overheads rate per activity

Setup = $4,100 per setup

Machining = $120 per machine hour

Engineering = $60 per engineering hour

Packing = $0.30 per packing order

2. Cost per unit

Deluxe = $162.60

Normal = $53.675

Explanation:

As for the provided information:

We have,

Different activities as follows:

Setups = $2,050,000

Total setups = 300 + 200 = 500

Rate = $2,050,000/500 = $4,100 per setup

Machining = $48,000,000

Total machine hours = 100,000 + 300,000 = 400,000

Machine hour rate = $48,000,000/400,000 = $120 per machine hour

Engineering = $9,000,000

Total engineering hours = 50,000 + 100,000 = 150,000

Rate per hour = $9,000,000/150,000 = $60 per hour

Packing = $150,000

Packing orders = 100,000 + 400,000 = 500,000

Rate per hour = $150,000/500,000 = $0.30 per order

2. Calculating per product cost

Particulars              Deluxe                 Normal

Setup Cost

In 3:2 ratio            $1,230,000              $820,000

Machining Cost

In 1:3 ratio             $12,000,000          $36,000,000

Engineering cost

In 1:2 ratio            $3,000,000               $6,000,000

Packing Cost

In 1:4 Ratio             $30,000                  $120,000

Therefore total cost for each printer

                              $16,260,000           $42,940,000

Number of units         100,000              800,000

<u>Cost per unit               $162.60             $53.675</u>

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

In case the consumers have a pessimistic tendency towards the future, they would expect the economy to face a downturn. They will, as a result, save their income and wealth for the future.  

This would cause a decline in consumer spending and the aggregate demand curve will move down to the left.  

An increase in consumer confidence, on the other hand, would cause consumer spending and aggregate demand to increase.
