Nick and Beth run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and

parties. It takes Nick 8 hours to prepare food for an event and 4 hours of effort to get each new client. For Beth, it takes 12 hours to prepare food for an event and 3 hours to get a new client.
1. Who has an absolute advantage in food preparation?
2. Who has a comparative advantage in food preparation?
Suppose that initially, Nick and Beth are both splitting both tasks for a large number of events. Then they decide to start shifting some work according to the principle of comparative advantage. In particular, the person with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event, and the other person will use the freed-up time to get more clients. As a result, the total number of events for which food is prepared will remain unchanged, but the number of new clients will increase by __?__.
The second part threw me off and I got confused. I put up the entire problem just to see if i answered it correctly or not to see whether that was what threw me off or not. Thanks in advance! :)

Answer:

NICK

NICK

2

Explanation:

A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries

Nick prepares food in 8 hours while Beth produces the food in 12 hours. ick thus has an absolute advantage in food preparation because he produces food in less time

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

Opportunity cost of Nick in food preparation = 4/8 = 0.5 hours

Opportunity cost of Beth in food preparation = 3 / 12 = 0.25 hours

Nick has a comparative advantage in food preparation

Which government policy will create the following results?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Any type of government policy that restricts free trade and the movement of capital can trigger the aforementioned consequences. Thus, the limitation of companies to obtain economic benefits can make them decide to close their activities, leaving employees on the street (increasing unemployment), reducing the country's economic production (causing the country's real GDP to decrease), and ultimately, generating monetary lags due to lack of economic production, generating devaluations that lower the international price level of the country's products.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

1. <u>implicit cost</u>

2.<u> explicit cost</u>

3. <u>implicit cost</u>

4. <u>explicit cost</u>

Explanation:

Implicit costs refer to those costs that represent opportunity cost. In simple terms they are notional or those which haven't been actually incurred but considered.

Opportunity costs refer to the cost of sacrificed alternatives when an alternative is opted for. For instance, a student pursuing post graduation incurs implicit cost in the form of income foregone had he chosen to work instead for the same duration.

In the given case, the foregone rental income Jacques would've earned had he chosen to rent out his showroom represents opportunity cost or implicit cost.

Similarly, the salary Jacques sacrificed by working in boat business represents implicit cost.

The wages and utility bills that Jacques pays and wholesale cost which he pays represent costs which have actually been incurred, which are termed as explicit costs.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Explanation:

If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that  the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.

In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
