Answer:
a. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
Mali
b. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?
None
c. Which country has the competitive advantage in producing dates?
Mali
d. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing grain?
Ireland
Explanation:
Opportunity cost of producing dates:
Ireland = 10 / 5 = 2 tons of grains
Mali = 10 / 25 = 0.4 tons of grains
Opportunity cost of producing grains:
Ireland = 5 / 10 = 0.5 tons of dates
Mali = 25 / 10 = 2.5 tons of dates
Answer: Inelastic
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we would calculate the elasticity of demand which would be:
= (Change in Quantity / Change in Price) (Initial Price/ Initial Quantity)
Change in Quantity = 1800 - 2000 = -200
Change in Price = 50 - 40 = 10
Initial Price = 40
Initial Quantity = 2000
Elasticity of demand would then be:
= (-200/10)(40/2000)
= (-20)(0.02)
= -0.4
Since elasticity of demand is less than 1, it is an inelastic demand.

The principle in Law 'Nemo dat quod non habet' states that an individual connot give what he does not have
Indeed Tom can rescind the contract with Matthew as he possesses voidable title to the balls
Explanation:
Until consideration has moved from Matthew to Tom the validity of the agreement/Contract remains inconclusive.
Considering his Account is not funded means he has no valid title to the Balls, he is merely in possession of the Balls but not the Owner.
Tom can sue demanding a return of the Balls irrespective of Matthew having sold them to Aaron.
Another illustration could be given of a thief who sells off a property. Inspite of the Buyer being unaware, because the thief has a voidable title it makes the transaction invalid.
Answer:
The correct answer is competitive intelligence.
Explanation:
Competitive intelligence is the systematic collection of open information, which once combined and analyzed provides a better understanding of the structure, culture, behavior, capabilities, and weaknesses of a competitor's firm.
It is a very important activity because it helps companies to better understand how the business works. This way you can learn to be better than your competitors.
Companies use competitive intelligence to compare themselves with others, allowing them to make informed decisions. Most firms today realize the importance of knowing what their competitors are doing, and the information collected allows organizations to find out about their strengths and weaknesses.
