Answer:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. It can be calculated by,

Opportunity Cost =\frac{Units of the Good Sacrificed}{Units of the good gained}

The country which has a lower opportunity cost is said to have a comparative advantage in producing a good.

In this case,

The opportunity cost of producing Turnip for the two producers is,

For selkirk- \frac{40}{40} =1 Clam

For Pirate Jack- \frac{60}{120} = \frac{1}{2} Clam

While, the opportunity cost of producing Clam for the two is given by,

For selkirk- \frac{40}{40} =1 Turnip

For Pirate Jack- \frac{120}{60} = 2 Turnips

Therefore, as can be seen the opportunity cost of producing Turnip is lower for Pirate Jack. So, Pirate Jack has a comparative advantage in Turnips.

While, Selkirk has a lower opportunity cost in digging clams so, it has a comparative advantage in Clams.

givi [52]

Answer: False

Explanation:

While a review of resumé would give some information about the job a physical interview would give a proper insight on the capabilities of the pool of applicants for the job.

So also verbal communication would help you access their strengths and properly allocate them to departments where they would be most efficient if selected.

A resumé wouldn’t give you such opportunities.

An account of an event created by someone who took part in or witnessed the event
castortr0y [4]
I think the correct answer would be primary source. It is an account of an event created by someone who took part in or witnessed the event. It is also known as original source.  It is any document, manuscript, diary, autobiography, artifact, recording or any source that was made at the time being studied. Examples are interviews, archives, photographs, letters, films and scrapbooks. When the data from these primary sources are obtained from other source wherein they are being analyzed and interpreted then these sources will be called as a secondary source. Examples are articles, books, magazines, surveys, internet resources.
