Answer:
Bellisima's opportunity cost:
-
Production of corn per million hours of labor = 8 / 16 = 0.5 pairs of jeans
- Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 16 / 8 = 2 bushels of rye
Dolorium's opportunity cost:
-
Production of corn per million hours of labor = 5 / 20 = 0.25 pairs of jeans
- Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 20 / 5 = 4 bushels of rye
Dolorium has a comparative advantage int he production of rye while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.
If both countries specialize:
- Dolorium will produce 80 million bushels of rye.
- Bellisima will produce 32 million pairs of jeans.
Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.
Total production of jeans has increased by 9 million pairs.
Explanation:
1. If butter complements margarine for instance, and there occurs a sudden increase in the price of butter leading to lower demand, this would affect the demand for margarine negatively leading to a fall in the demand for margarine.
2. If this goods are substitutes the demand for butter will increase when the price of margarine rises.
This is because it is only natural for people to switch to the next best alternative (substitute) that fills the same purpose or needs.
3. Remember Ice cream and ice cream cones complementary goods; meaning the demand for one increases the demand for the other and vice versa.
4. If the price of ice cream increases, demand would also decrease for ice cream as consumers are usually sensitive to price.
This decrease in the demand for ice cream would also affect ice cream cones since they complement each other, leading to a decrease in the demand for ice cream cones.
Expected rate of return Probabilities
Booming 22% 5%
Normal 15% 92%
Recession 2% 3%
The expected rate of return on this stock is solved by multiply each expected rate of return to its corresponding probability and getting the sum of all products.
Booming: 0.22 x 0.05 = 0.011
Normal: 0.15 x 0.92 = 0.138
Recession 0.02 x 0.03 =<u> 0.0006</u>
Sum total 0.1496 or 14.96% is the expected rate of return on this stock
Answer:
At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.
Explanation:
The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.
Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.
Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
One of the difficulties associated with value-based pricing is that the producer may end up running at loss because the price does cover the cost incurred during production.
The value-based pricing entails fixing of prices based on customer's perceived value of the product.
The companies who practiced the value-based pricing do so to make sure the product price and expectation of the customers match.
However, one of the difficulties associated with value-based pricing is that the producer may end up running at loss because the price does cover the cost incurred during production.
