Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is an advantage an individual, organization or country has to use <em>opportunity costs</em> in their production compared to their competitors. The scenario described above does not imply that the individual, organization or country has an absolute advantage.

In the example proposed:

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in fishing boats = \frac{25}{150}=  0.17
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in fishing boats = \frac{30}{300} = 0.10

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in jars = \frac{150}{25} = 6
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in jars = \frac{300}{30} = 10

Thus, <em>the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.</em>

Quinton wants you to calculate his biweekly paycheck. How much would he earn each pay period if he has an annual salary of $55,5
koban [17]
$2,134.62.

There are approximately 52 weeks in a given year, meaning that there are 52/2, or 26, biweekly pay periods. Therefore, we divide the annual salary of $55,500 by 26 biweekly pay periods to get $2,134.62 for the biweekly paycheck. 

The formula is the annual amount divided by the number of periods. Here, there are 26 periods of biweekly (once every two weeks) paychecks.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1,333.33

Explanation:

Labor productivity is measures the hourly output of a country's economy. Specifically, it charts the amount of real gross domestic product (GDP) produced by an hour of labor.

total labor hours = 25milion x 36 hours per week

                            = 900 million

labor productivity = GDP ÷ total labor hours

labor productivity = $1,200 billion ÷ 900 million

                                $1,333.33 per hour
