Answer:

= $147.12

Explanation:

First, we determine the amount received by Mother in 199 9= $100

Based on this,

The Consumer Price Index in 1999 = 166.6

The Consumer Price Index in 2017 = 245.1

We then calculate the amount it would cost in 2017 to buy similar goods bought by mother in 1999

= Value in 2017 = Amount received in 1999 x (2017 CPI / 1999 CPI)

= $100 x (245.1/166.6)

=  $100 x 1.471

= $147.12

This means that the baby shower gift received at $100 in 1999 will cost  $147.12 to buy in 2017.

What is a foreign country that is currently being impacted financially due to the Coronavirus
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Macau

Explanation:

First, we need to understand that all countries are impacted financially due to the corona virus. It's predicted that Corona Virus will cause a loss of around $2.7 trillion in Global Economy.

That being said, some countries are impacted more than the others.

Especially those who rely on tourism and hospitality as their main economy. Macau is probably the one that got the hardest hit. Not only this country is located near China (where the virus originally came from) , tourism and hospitality accounted for around 43% of Macau's economy. Basically half of its  economic activity shut down due to the virus.

Suppose that Spain and Denmark both produce jeans and olives. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pairs
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and

c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives

Explanation:

                 Olives       Jeans      Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)

Spain            1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Denmark      1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other,  in Olive & Jeans respectively.

Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.

  • '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
  • '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans  

'4 jeans pairs per olive crate'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
  • Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans

Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:

  • 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).  
  • 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)
