Answer: B. Mexico has a comparative advantage in grain production.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage simply means when an economy can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another economy.

From the information given, since Canada can produce 15units of timber or 3 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 15/3 = 5 timber

On the other hand, Mexico can produce 6 units of timber or 2 units of grain. Therefore, 1 grain = 6/2 = 3 timber.

Therefore, Mexico haa a comparative advantage in grain based on the above.

Last year, Jose had to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid simple interest per year, and he invested the rest
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:Please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. We do not have the rate interest for both accounts. We also do not know how much is invested in each account. The question also has a typo, the question says "he invested some of it in an account that paid simple interest per year and invested the rest in an account that paid simple interest per year". We will make some assumption in order to provide a proper solution to this question

Assumptions:

Firstly we will assume he invested in a simple interest account and a compound interest account. assume

The total investment is $1000. $5000 is invested in each account.

Therefore the  Present Value (PV) is $5000 for both accounts

Interest rate (R) is 10% per year for simple interest and 10% per per year   Compounded monthly for compound interest account

Period (n) = 1 year

Simple Interest Account

Future Value (Simple Interest) = P(1 + Rn)

Future Value (Simple Interest) = $5000(1 + 0.10 x 1) = $5500

Interest from Simple interest account = 5500 - 5000 = $500

Compound interest Account

Future Value (Compound interest) = P(1 + R)^n

Future Value (Compound interest) = $5000(1 + 0.10/12)^12 = 5523.565337

Interest form Compound interest account = 5523.57 - 5000 = $523

compound interest account earned more interest than Simple interest Account
