Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
France can produce four phones or three computers:
Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (3 ÷ 4)
= 0.75 computers
Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (4 ÷ 3)
= 1.33 phones
Sweden can produce one phone or two computers:
Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (2 ÷ 1)
= 2 computers
Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (1 ÷ 2)
= 0.5 phones
Therefore,
France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than Sweden. France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden.
Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than France. Sweden should specialize in producing computers and import phones from France.
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
The government takes contractionary measures to check against rising inflation. Contractionary policies reduce liquidity in the market, thereby reducing the rate of money circulation.
<u> Four measures that may control inflation include</u>
1<u>. Increasing interest rates</u>: An increase in interest rates increases the cost of borrowing money. When the cost of money becomes expensive, firms and households reduce the borrowing rate, reducing the money supply rate. In turn, the inflation rate declines.
2. <u>Increasing reserve requirement:</u> Reserve is the proposition of customer discounts that commercial banks are expected to maintain at their custody at all times. Increasing the reserve requirement means banks will reduce lending, thereby reducing the money supply in the economy.
3. <u>The open market sells</u>: The government makes available many treasury bills and bonds for purchase in the market. It offers attractive rates that encourage banks and other institutions to buy them. Buying the treasury bills means banks will use a substantial percentage of customer deposits on treasury bills other than lending to customers. Open market sales mop up excess liquidity in the markets, reducing the rate of cash circulation.
4. <u>Reduction of government spending:</u> Government spending is a fiscal policy tool. The government is a big spender in an economy. If the level of spending is decreased, the money supply in the economy is reduced.
Answer: The equilibrium price is $68, Quantity 32 million barrel, The quantity to import is 53 million barrel
Explanation:
Given that D = -2 + (1/2)P, S = 15 - (1/4)P
At equilibrium Qd = Qs
-2 + (1/2)P = 15 - (1/4)P
Change 1/2 P and 1/4 P to decimal we have 0.5, and 0.25 respectively
Collect like terms
-2 -15 = 0.25P - 0.5P
17 = 0.25P
Divide both sides by P
17/0.25 = 0.25P /0.25
68 = P
P = 68
Substitute the value of P into equation 1 and 2 determine the value of Q
-2 + 0.5 (68)
-2 + 34
= 32
15 - 0.25 (68)
15 + 17
= 32
To determine the quantity to import when world price is $11.00 per barrel ,substitute the value into equation 1
-2 + 0.5 (11)
-2 + 55
= 53
Therefore quantity to import is 53 millions barrel
