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.

Susan williams runs a small flagstaff job shop where garments are made. the job shop employs eight workers. each worker is paid
slavikrds [6]

Labour Productivity is basically the worth of goods produced by each labour or collectively in an hour, This can be expressed in the formula below:

Labour Productivity per hour of work=\frac{Worth of Goods Produced}{Total Number of Labour Hours}

In order to find worth of goods we shall use below Formula:

Worth of Goods= Sale Price per Unit*Number of Units Sold

In given case there are 2 types of goods sold as below

1. Proper Garments

Worth of Goods Sold= $210*78 Garments

Worth of Goods Sold=$16380

2. Seconds

Worth of Goods Sold= $100*54

Worth of Goods Sold= $5400

Total Goods Sold= $5400+$16380

Total Worth of Goods=$21780

Total Hours Worked= No of Workers*Hours Worked each Worker

Total Hours Worked= 8*45

Total Hours Worked=360 Hours

Labour Productivity=\\ \frac{21780}{360}

Labour Productivity=$60.5 per Hour
