Answer:

In economics, the principle of absolute advantage refers to the ability of a party (an individual, or firm, or country) to produce a greater quantity of a good, product, or service than competitors, using the same amount of resources

(i.e :  India has an absolute advantage in operating call centers compared to the Philippines because of its low cost of labor and abundant labor force.)

kirill [66]

Answer and Explanation:

a and b. The average total cost and the marginal cost is shown below:

As we know that

Average cost is

= Total cost ÷ total number of customer loads

And, the Marginal cost is

= Additional total cost incurred for extra units generated

So based on this, the marginal cost and the average total cost are as follows

Customer load level   Total cost  Average cost   Marginal cost

     0                               $27

     1                                 $30          $30 ÷ 1 = 30        30 - 27 = 3

    2                                 $32          $32 ÷ 2 = 16        32 - 30 = 2

    3                                 $35        $35 ÷ 3 = 11.67     35 - 32 = 3

    4                                  $38        $38 ÷ 4 = 9.5       38 - 35 = 3

    5                                  $42       $42 ÷ 5 = 8.4       42 - 38 = 4

    6                                  $48       $48 ÷ 6 = 8          48 - 42 = 6

    7                                  $57        $57 ÷ 7 = 8.14      57 - 48 = 9

    8                                  $68       $68 ÷ 8 = 8.5      68 - 57 = 11

c. Now the customer loan you want is

As we know that

Profit = Marginal revenue - marginal cost

And, as we can see that at marginal cost 9 we can load 7 customers so the 7 customers would be wanted
