Answer:

The inventory forecast for next year is $ 120.4.

Explanation:

In this question relationship between sales and inventory is expressed in the form of an equation. This problem requires us to tell the value of inventory if sales is $ 400. So we can simply calculate the inventory value by putting value of x= 400 in the equaltion given in the question.

Inventories = $26.8 + 0.234 x

Inventories = $26.8 + 0.234 ($400)

Inventories = $ 120.4

(<em>Assume sales increase is due to increase in quantity sold not price</em>)

If a nation has a comparative disadvantage in the production of some commodity: Group of answer choices it cannot gain from inte
vazorg [7]

Answer:

it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.

Explanation:

A country has comparative disadvantage in production if it produces at a higher opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

The country with a  comparative disadvantage can gain from trade by trading the good with a country that has  comparative advantage in the production of that good. i.e. the country produces at a lower opportunity cost

For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.  

for country A,  

opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5

opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2

for country B,  

opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5

opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2

Country B has a comparative disadvantage in the production of beans and country A has a comparative disadvantage in the production of rice

Country B should buy beans from A and A should buy rice from B
