Answer:

The correct answer is A. a hotter climate, which makes it possible to produce shirts outdoors, eliminating the need for factory buildings and hence reducing costs.

Explanation:

The principle of comparative advantage explains why countries benefit from international trade. This term was first raised by Adam Smith when referring to the specialization in production. Later it was David Ricardo who developed the concept as it is understood today, in his book "On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation", published in 1817, where he develops Your own trade theory.

When comparing two countries, even if one of them has an absolute advantage in the production of two goods in relation to the other, it may be possible for both countries to obtain a profit by trading between them. The key lies in the fact that each country should only produce that good that has the lowest opportunity cost. When a country specializes in goods in which it has a comparative advantage, total production increases.

Following Ricardo's example, Portugal can produce cloth and wine with fewer productive factors than England. However, the opportunity cost of Portugal when producing wine is lower than when producing cloth, while in the case of England the opportunity cost of producing cloth is lower. If Portugal specializes in the production of wine and imports cloth, and England specializes in the production of cloth and imports wine, both countries can benefit from their comparative advantage.

Dvinal [7]

Answer: variable; fixed

Explanation: In the short run, Kyoko's workers are variable inputs. This is because, the number of workers needed can be varied based on production needs, even in the short run. Examples are energy, labor etc.

Kyoko's ovens are fixed inputs. Fixed inputs are those inputs whose quantities cannot be changed in the short run by a firm as it seeks to change the quantity of output produced. Examples are equipment, land and building.

It is estimated that 100,000 fans will attend a football game. Forty-two percent of them will not be able to park at the stadium
egoroff_w [7]

The answer is: 30 Trips


Total fans = 100,000

<u>The amount of fans that need satelite parking </u>

= 100,000 x 42%

= 42,000 fans


<u>There are 20 buses and each of them can carry 70 fans in one trip. So the maximum number of fans that all of them can carry in one trip:</u>

= 70 x 20

= 1400 fans


<u>Total trips that each bus need to take all fans to stadium </u>

= 42,000 / 1400

= 30 trips

For the cost and price functions below, find
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

a) The number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15

b) The price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not giben in the question)

c) Maximum Profit = P = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Explanation:

The cost function and price per unit function are given respectively as

C(q) = 70 + 17q

p = 77 - 2q

where q = quantity or number of units

a.) the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit

Total cost = C(q) = 70 + 17q

Revenue = (price per unit) × (Number of units) = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q = (77q - 2q²)

Profits = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)

P(q) = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)

P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

To maximize the profits, we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.

At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0

Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

(dP/dq) = -4q + 60

At maximum point,

(dP/dq) = -4q + 60 = 0

q = (60/4) = 15

(d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)

Hence, the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15.

b.) the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit

The price per unit is given as

p = 77 - 2q

Maximum profit occurs at q = 15

p = 77 - (2×15) = 47

Hence, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not given in the question)

c.) the maximum profit, P.

The Profit function is given as

Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

At maximum Profit, q = 15

Maximum Profit = P(15)

= -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70

= 380 (currency not given in the question).

Hope this Helps!!!
