The percentage increase in the total sales for 2006 is 15% while the increase in sales of the trench coats is 23.3%; therefore the percentage increase in total sales of trench coats is 8.3% faster.
Computation:
1. The total amount of sales for 2006 and 2007:
![\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2006}&=103+297+210+213+137\\&=960\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202006%7D%26%3D103%2B297%2B210%2B213%2B137%5C%5C%26%3D960%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
![\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2007}&=127+223+210+285+259\\&=1104\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202007%7D%26%3D127%2B223%2B210%2B285%2B259%5C%5C%26%3D1104%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
2. Now, the percentage increase will be determined for the total number of coats and trench coats:
For the total number of coats, the values used will be the total sales of 2006, and total sales of 2007.
![\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{1104-960}{960}\times100\\&=15\%\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BPercentage%20Increase%7D%26%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202007%7D-%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202006%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202006%7D%7D%5Ctimes100%5C%5C%26%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1104-960%7D%7B960%7D%5Ctimes100%5C%5C%26%3D15%5C%25%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
For the trench coats the values used will be the sale of trench coats in 2006 and 2007.
![\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase in Sale of Trench Coat}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{127-103}{103}\times100\\&=23.33\%\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BPercentage%20Increase%20in%20Sale%20of%20Trench%20Coat%7D%26%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202007%7D-%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202006%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BSales%20of%202006%7D%7D%5Ctimes100%5C%5C%26%3D%5Cdfrac%7B127-103%7D%7B103%7D%5Ctimes100%5C%5C%26%3D23.33%5C%25%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
3. Now, the net percentage increase in sales due to the trench coats is computed as follows:
![\begin{aligned}\text{Net Percentage Change}&=\text{\text{Percentage Increase in Trench Coat}-\text{Percentage Increase}}\\&=23.33\%-15\%\\&=8.3\%\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Ctext%7BNet%20Percentage%20Change%7D%26%3D%5Ctext%7B%5Ctext%7BPercentage%20Increase%20in%20Trench%20Coat%7D-%5Ctext%7BPercentage%20Increase%7D%7D%5C%5C%26%3D23.33%5C%25-15%5C%25%5C%5C%26%3D8.3%5C%25%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Therefore, the correct option is option B. Sales of trench coats increased 8. 3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

Answer:
On the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost
Explanation:
Given that:
- Daily operating costs of $500
- Purchasing cost for the item: $10,000
- Lease amount: $700
Let x is the number of days the purchase cost be the same as the lease cost. As we now that:
The total cost should be equal to the total lease received
<=> 10,000 + 500x = 700x
<=> 200x = 10000
<=> x = 50
Hence, on the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost
Answer:
D)reducing its need to be self-sufficient,
Explanation:
Specialisation by a country's economy means that it produces only the specialised goods & even export it, import the other goods.
It decreases opportunity costs, decreases cost of voluntary exchanges. Higher level of specialisation implies there is increased labor force division.
However, it reduces need of country to be self sufficient. As, it can gainfully trade its specialised goods for other goods (in which other economy specialises).
