Trade agreements can cause jobs to go to countries that provide those jobs

Business
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

efficiently.

Explanation:

A trade agreement can be defined as a pact or treaty signed between two or more countries to encourage the free flow (import and export) of goods and services among its members, as well as eliminating or reducing trade barriers such as quotas, tariffs on goods traded.

Trade agreements can cause jobs to go to countries that provide those jobs efficiently because all business entities or firms want to have competitive advantage over its rivals. Thus, business owners who have signed a treaty with other countries would tend to outsource or recruit workers from countries that provide their services efficiently.

Assume that the farmer and the rancher can switch between producing pork and producing tomatoes at a constant rate. Assume that
dusya [7]

Answer:

C) 6 pounds of pork and 8 pounds of tomatoes

Explanation:

Explanation:

            Labor hours to make 1 lb. of:          lbs. produced in 24 hours

                 Pork                  Tomatoes              Pork            Tomatoes

Farmer         6                            3                       4                       8

Rancher       4                            4                       6                       6

If both decide to specialize in producing only one good, the farmer will produce 8 pounds of tomatoes per day and the rancher will produce 6 pounds of pork per day.

This way when the rancher trades 4 pounds of pork in exchange for 6 pounds of tomatoes, he is gaining 2 pounds of pork which is equivalent to 8 labor hours.

When the rancher trades 6 pounds of tomatoes in exchange for 4 pounds of pork, he is gaining 2 pounds of tomatoes which is equivalent to 6 labor hours.

= 39.2%

Return on assets = Net income/Assets * 100

= $1,980,000/$9,900,000 * 100

= 20%

Profit margin = Net Income/Sales * 100

= $1,980,000/$20,710,000 * 100

= 9.6%

Asset turnover = Sales/Total Assets

= $20,710,000/$9,900,000 = 2.1 times

Return on equity = Net Income/Total Equity * 100

= $1,980,000/$5,300,000 * 100

= 37.4%
