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' .

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Subliminal stimuli

Explanation:

Subliminal stimuli is defined as a stimulus that is below the sensory capacity of an individual. It is below the threshold where the individual can perceive that there is a change in something. For example if a company is producing potato chips and they want to increase salt content.

The point at which the consumer starts to notice a change in salt content of the potatoe chips is above the subliminal stimuli.

Although subliminal stimuli is not readily perceived it can unconciously influence consumer behaviour.
