Answer:
100 bushels of oranges
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
for Greece
opportunity cost of producing oranges = 20 / 100 = 0.2
opportunity cost of producing tomatoes = 100/ 20 = 5
For turkey
opportunity cost of producing oranges = 30 / 40 = 0.75
opportunity cost of producing tomatoes = 40 / 30 = 1.33
Greece has a comparative advantage in the production of oranges. If it specialises in the production of oranges, it would produce 100 bushels
Answer:
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60
Increase in the price of beef = 20%
Now,
Price elasticity of demand for beef,
Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price ]
or
0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 12%
Also,
Price and Quantity are inversely proportional
Hence,
With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease
Therefore,
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Answer:
(a) = $468
(b) = 52%
(c) = $144
(d) = 28%
(e) = $1150
(f) = $920
Explanation:
selling price variable cost contribution margin contribution ratio
1. $900 $432 (a) $ (b)%
2. $200 $ (c) $56 (d)%
3. $ (e) $(f) $230 20%
contribution = selling price - variable costs
Margin contribution ratio = contribution / sales
Variable cost = selling price - contribution
Selling price = contribution / margin contribution ratio
Answer:
Promissory estoppel
Explanation:
Promissory estoppel means that in legal tenet that a promise or pledge can be enforced by law, actually if formulated without legal consideration, if the George now the (promisor) has made a pledge to a Susy the (promises) who then depends on that promise for a subsequent detriment. So what Promissory estoppel is expected to do is to stop the (George) promisor from insisting that an underlying promise should not be legally authorized or implemented. So Susy can sue George on the basis of promissory estoppel and get a reward for George's disappointment
