Answer:

C. 42 years

Explanation:

Rule 72 is used in finance and economics to estimate the number of years it will take for a given capital value to be doubled, given a given annual interest rate. In the case of GDP, the interest rate is replaced by the growth rate of the economy.

The formula for this rule consists of dividing 72 by the growth rate of the economy. The result will be the number of years for the capital value to double.

72 / growth rate = years to double

If the GDP growth rate is 1.7%, we have:

72 / 1.7 = 42.3 years

uysha [10]

Answer:

Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.

When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.

However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.
