Answer:

6 Cookies {or any >5, <7)

Explanation:

Theory of Comparative Advantage states : A person/ economy having lesser opportunity cost (i.e other good sacrifised) to attain a good, should sell it to - other person/ economy having the good's higher opportunity cost.

Trade is beneficial if the terms of trade exchange ratio is better than own account production sacrifise ratio.

Bill can bake a pie with opportunity cost of 5 cookies. Fred can bake a pie with opportunity cost of 7 cookies. Bill has less opportunity cost of Pie in terms of Cookies, so should sell it to Fred.

The trade between them will be beneficial only if : both of them gain from trade - i.e get a good at lower opportunity cost than their own. Fred getting 1 pie per 6 cookies is better than his own sacrifise ratio i.e 1pie : 7 cookies.  Bill getting 1 cookie per 0.16 (1/6) pie is better than his own sacrifise ratio i.e 1cookie : 0.25pie (1/5)

How can a renter reduce the amount of money he or she spends on monthly
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

From the options given above, the correct way a renter can reduce their rent it to get a roommate or roommate. Getting just one roommate can help to reduce your basic living expenses by 30%.

This is achievable because various costs like rent, utilities, and even groceries can be shared among the roommates.

The only downside to this method is the lack of privacy that comes with having roommates. But in general, having roommates is a sure way for renters to spend less, or live in a nicer location.

andre [41]

Answer:

The growth of the real GDP per capita was 7.18%

Explanation:

It is important to establish that:

Future Value = Present Value × ((1 + r)^t), given that <em>r</em> is the <em>interest rate</em> and <em>t</em> is the <em>time period</em>  

Real GDP per worker increased from $40,000 to $320,000 in 30 years    

Therefore, we have;

320000 = 40000*(1+r)^30    

(1 + r)^30 = 8    

1 + r = 8^1/30    

1 + r = 1.0718    

r = 0.0718 = 7.18%
