Insurance is a social and merit good as it makes financially risk averse people better off. It can help protect a business or a person from financial loss, liabilities or instability in the case of an owner or business partner's death. The benefit is administered by a central organization such as a government agency, private business, or not-for-profit entity.

Which of the following statements is true?a. A country cannot have comparative advantage in producing a certain item if it incur
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

. All countries can gain from trade if they all specialize in production according to comparative advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is when a country produces a product at a lower opportunity cost when compared with its trading partners.

Absolute advantage is when a country produces more quantities of goods and services than its trading partners.

A country can still have comparative advantage in production if opportunity cost is increasing once it's opportunity cost doesn't become greater than that of its trading partners.

A country can have comparative advantage without having absolute advantage.

I hope my answer helps you.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

BEGINNING INVENTORY

70 units at $150 = $10,500

cost of BI                 $3,600

Contribution Begining Inventory         $6,900

get the production of this year contribution

Sales Units              150

Direct Materials 25

Variable S&A       6

Total Variable           56

Contribution            94

Contribution Produced units 42300

Second, the operating income:

     Contribution Begining Inventory         $6,900

     + Contribution Produced units             42,300

                                    Total contribution = 49,200

 Fixed Cost

fixed MO 15,600

fixed S&A 13,000

                                       Total Fixed Cost    28,600

                                     Operating Income 20,600

According to the factor price equalization theorem, if country B is labor abundant, then if country B initiates trade with count
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

wages should rise and rents should fall in A

Explanation:

The Factor Price Equalisation Theory states that when two countries trade, the price of identical factors of production will tend to be equalised across the countries. Factors of production include wage rate and rent of capital.

So if a country that is labour abundant trades with another country A there will be tendency for exportation of the excess labour of country B to country A.

As a result country A will become more labour intensive and wages of workers will rise since focus is more on use of labour.

However since less capital will now be used the money spent on renting capital will reduce.
