dily available to them, and the only scarce resource is the cooks' time. Vincent can bake 10 cakes or make 5 pizzas in an hour. Jean can bake 12 cakes or make 8 pizzas in an hour. Please answer the four questions. 1 . Which cook has the absolute advantage in baking cakes? Vincent Neither Jean 2 . Which cook has the absolute advantage in making pizzas? Vincent Neither Jean 3 . Which cook has the comparative advantage in baking cakes? Vincent Neither Jean 4 . Which cook has the comparative advantage in making pizzas? Vincent Jean Neither

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.

Select the point that satisfies
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

A. (5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Plug in (5,5) for the x and y values according to the ordered pair. In this case the equation should turn out like this :5 ≤ 5²- 4(5) + 2
  • Simplify the equation : 5 ≤ 25 - 20 + 2
  • 5 ≤ 7
  • A is the answer because it satisfies the inequality as 5 is less than or equal to seven. Though, in this case it is just less than, but not equal to.

(High points) please solve with explanation. Legit answers only thank you!
ollegr [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is at (-3, 0). To find the slope of the perpendicular line, let's rewrite the equation to its slope-intercept form, which is

y = (2/3)x + 2

This means that the perpendicular line has a slope m = -3/2. So the slope-intercept form of this new line is

y = -(3/2)x + k. Since this line passes through (-3, 0), we cal solve for k:

0 = -(3/2)(-3) + k or k = -9/2

So our equation becomes (slope-intercept form)

y =   - \frac{3}{2}x -  \frac{9}{2}

or in its standard form,

3x + 2y + 9 = 0
