Answer:

Bread and butter are complimentary goods if the price of butter is increased then the demand for butter will decrease and since bread and butter are used together when the demand of one good is decreased, the demand of the other good will also be decreased and the price of bread will decrease.

Because of this demand curve will shift downward towards the left along with the supply curve.

If the price of flour is decreased it will decrease the price of the bread and the demand of the bread will be increased but again when bread and butter are to be used together then as the demand of butter is decreased then the demand of the bread will also be decreased and at the end the equilibrium price of the bread will decrease.

English workers can produce 50 scones per hour which is 10 more than Scottish workers who can produce 40 scones an hour, they have an absolute advantage in producing scones.

Scottish workers can produce 2 sweaters compared with English workers who can only produce 1, they have an absolute advantage.

The opportunity cost of an English worker producing a sweater is 50 scones. This is because if they spend an hour producing a sweater, they could have been producing 50 scones.

The opportunity cost of a Scottish worker producing a sweater is 20 scones. This is because in an hour they can produce 2 sweaters or 40 scones. Therefore, for each sweater they lose 20 scones
