Answer:

Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables

Explanation:

                  Vegetables        Chicken        Trade Off Ratio

John             40                     10                4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)

George          25                      5                 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)

John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :

  • John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
  • George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).  

So,  John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.

  • It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
  • Unitary method:-  '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .

Describe at least one way in which a line of credit is different from a loan.
denis-greek [22]

A line of credit is similar to a credit card in that it is a flexible borrowing solution. You can draw on this revolving loan by writing a check.  You are can also borrow any part of your credit line again once you have repaid it. There are no payments until you use your line.

With a personal loan, you get the whole loan when you're approved and you start paying interest right after on the full amount. You have a schedule of payments that will get smaller until the loan is paid off.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of <u>LEMONS</u>, while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of <u>COFFEE</u>. Suppose that Candonia and Lamponia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of <u>36</u> million pounds of coffee and <u>36</u> million pounds of lemons.

Explanation:

Since a lot of information was missing, I looked it up and found the attached graphs. The graphs referred to production of coffee and lemons, but I guess they are similar questions.

For every pound of lemons that Candonia produces, it will not be able to produce ¹/₂ pounds of coffee (opportunity cost of producing lemons instead of coffee).

For every pound of coffee that Lamponia produces, it will not be able to produce 1¹/₂ pounds of lemons (opportunity cost of producing coffee instead of lemons).
