Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

It is reasonable to infer that Iceland have a comparative advantage in producing coats, it is may be due to the lower opportunity cost of producing than the other country.

A country is exporting a commodity in which it has a comparative advantage and also, a country is exporting a commodity if the world price of the product is greater than the domestic price of the product.

Under a free trade condition, Iceland continue exporting coats until the domestic price become equal to the world price.

Hence, if there is any increase in the domestic price of the coat then this will result in a reduction in consumer surplus.

If Iceland exports coats at the world price then the producers of the coats will experience an increase in the producers surplus.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

B. The lender would benefit.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the one who would benefit from a lower inflation rate would be the lender. That is because by there being a lower inflation rate it means that the money that the borrower needs to pay back the loan does not have the buying power he predicted it would have when he borrowed it. Meaning that he would need to pay more money to the lender than originally anticipated.

SashulF [63]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

 Breakeven point = Fixed cost divide by Contribution margin

Contribution margin = Sales minus Variable cost.

Fixed cost

Particular           Amount

Salaries                  $5000

Utilities                   $1100

Depreciation   $1200

Maintenance   $780

Total Fixed cost = $8,080.

Variable cost =Maid services plus Other cost = $7 plus $13 = $20

Contribution = $40 minus $20 = $20.

Breakeven point in number = $8080 divide 20 = 404 rented rooms per month.

Breakeven point in $ = Breakeven point rented rooms × rent cost.

=> 404 rooms multiply $40 = $16,160.
