Answer:

The United States could trade Canada 20 pounds of food for 17 televisions.

The US receives TV at a rate of 17/20 = 0.85 which is higher than their opportunity cost therefore, making a gain

While Canada receive TV at a rate lower than their economy can produce them (0.85<0.9090) thus, also making a gain

Explanation:

US

100 television or 150 pounds of food

Opportunity cost: of TV 1.5 pounds of food

Opportunity cost of food: 2/3 of a TV

CANADA

300 televisions or 330 food

Opportunity cost: of TV 1.1 pounds of food

Opportunity cost of food: 90/99 of a TV

It is cheaper for canada to produce TV and cheaper for the US to produce food.

Which one of the following is NOT one of the arguments against social responsibility as used by economist Milton Friedman?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B) Businesses can actually do very little in terms of social responsibility.

Explanation:

Milton Friedman is most famous for the defense of the Chicago School economics which is a neoclassical approach to macroeconomics. He favored free trade, smaller government and a slow but constant growth of the money supply. I personally disagree with neoclassical economists because they have the tendency to mess things up and time proves they are always wrong (that is a biased but positive statement). He was the father of monetarism, but if you look at his last two disciples, George Bush and George W. Bush, the outcome was not positive ⇒ 3 deep recessions in 3 presidential terms.

As a neoclassical economist, Friedman believed and argued in favor of the trickle down in economics. That means that if you allow the rich to get overwhelmingly rich, their riches will spill over to the rest of society. Not because they are good people that like to share their wealth, but because they need workers and employees to keep consuming goods and services in order to get the economy moving. Eventually the spilled over wealth should return to the top. So it is no wonder why he opposed corporate social responsibility, since wasting time and money in the community, employees or the environment was simply a waste of resources that could be used to increase stockholders' wealth.

I understand how theoretically this might work, but it takes the human factor out of the equation and expectations are extremely important in economics, that is why they always fail.

The purchasing agent of an organization acquired some raw materials at a bargain price, even though she knew that their quality
pshichka [43]

Answer:

So a favorable material price variance might be more than offset by an adverse usage variance

Explanation:

<em>Material price variance</em>

<em>A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. </em>A favourable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials of a given quantity is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite

<em>Material usage variance</em>

<em>A material usage variance occurs when the standard quantity required to active a particular level of production is higher or lower than than the actual actual quantity used.</em> A favorable variance would mean than less quantity of materials were  used than the standard to achieve a given output level. And an adverse variance would mean the opposite

<em>Relationship between Usage variance and Price variance</em>

Where savings are made from purchase of cheap and inferior quality materials these  might lead to an adverse usage variance by a greater value .This is so because  workers might need to use a larger quantity ( more than the standard required) of a low-quality materials to achieve production.

So a favourable material price variance might be more than offset by an adverse usage variance
