Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Nathan has a comparative advantage in producing timber.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage can be defined as the advantage an individual, institution or country has over competitors by producing at lower opportunity costs. Having a comparative advantage does not imply the individual or country has an absolute advantage which implies industry rivals are unlikely to imitate the comparative-advantage company due to factors such as uniqueness of the raw materials or processes in production.

Thus, <em>as Nathan can grow trees closer to each other than in Lucas's farm, Nathan has a comparative advantage over Lucas since possessing farms the same size and counting on the same resources, Nathan can grow more trees and produce more timber.</em>

Gary, a new salesperson for a reputed cellphone manufacturer, meets the owner of a transport company that employs 50,000 people
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option B. It is unrealistic

Explanation:

The reason is that the people have different likes which means we will never see 100 percent acceptance from the customers which might in the way of rejecting the offer of Gary. So the assumption that 50,000 cab drivers will purchase its product is truly optimistic which in other words is unrealistic assumption. So the option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the assumption is less qualitative as it doesn't relies on realistic assumption.

The cab drivers sales are relevant here but the sales assumption was unrealistic (Highly optimistic assumption) so the option C and D are incorrect.

Option E is also incorrect because the sales to cab drivers can be measure by initially directly selling 1000 cell phone to 1000 cab drivers which will give an actual idea of sales units expected, which means it is measurable.
