Answer:

a) Jean b) Jean c) Vincent d) Jean              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Vincent can bake 10 cakes or make 5 pizzas

Jean can bake 12 cake or make 8 pizzas.

a) Absolute advantage of baking cake

Jean has the absolute advantage of baking cake as he can bake more cakes as compared to Vincent.

b) Absolute advantage of making pizza

Jean has the absolute advantage of making pizza as he can make more pizzas as compared to Vincent.

In order to find comparative advantage, we find the opportunity cost which can be defined as:

\text{Opportunity Cost} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{What one sacrifices}}{\text{What one gains}}

c) Comparative advantage in baking cakes

Opportunity cost of Vincent for baking cakes = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}

Opportunity cost of Jean for baking cakes = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Vincent has comparative advantage in baking cakes.

d) Comparative advantage in making pizzas

Opportunity cost of Vincent for making pizzas = \frac{10}{5} = 2

Opportunity cost of Jean for making pizzas = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Jean has comparative advantage in making pizzas.

How many 5-digit palindromes contain only even digits?
34kurt

Answer:

The correct answer is - 900

Step-by-step explanation:

A palindrome is a positive integer that is same whether read from left to right or from right to left. For example, 123321 palindromes.

An n-digit palindrome is determined from the first  n/2  digits if n is even, and from the first n+1/2 digits if n is odd.

Therefore, if  n  is even, there are  9×10⁽n⁻²/²⁾  palindromes; and if n is odd, there are  9×10⁽n₋²/²⁾ palindromes.  where n is number of digits.

For  n=5 , there are  9×10²=900 palindromes
