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.

Dahlia can earn​ $60,000 a year working at a relatively safe​ job, or​ $65,000 a year working at a riskier job. The probability
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

C) ​$6.25 million

Explanation:

Compensating wage differentials are paid to workers so that they accept tasks that are considered dangerous or hazardous.

A worker’s utility function is:

Utility = f (w, risk of injury)

Dahlia's safe job utility function = f(60000, 0.0002)

Dahlia's riskier job utility function = f(65000, 0.001)

A 400% increase in risk will increase Dahlia's salary by $5,000,

When you are using the compensation differential approach, you can determine the value of a life by dividing the compensating differential by the increased chance of death.

($65,000 - $60,000) / (1/1000 - 1/5,000) = $5,000 / 0.0008 = $6,250,000
