Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

a. Opportunity cost = $41,000

b

Working as dispatcher = Dispatcher pays + (Earn Percentage return × Opportunity cost)

= $32,000 + (9% × $41,000)

= $32,000 + $3,690

= $35,690

 Yes, Mr Dowd would sell the taxi and accept the position as a role of dispatcher

Pachacha [2.7K]

The answer is 27 hours

Explanation:

Solution

The Comparative advantage depends on  production of the lower opportunity cost

The opportunity cost of a production is =maximum production of other good /maximum production of the good

Now,

The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town A =10/4=2.5

The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town B=6/10=0.6

So,

The  town B has a comparative advantage in hot dog buns and A in sausages

Town A will produce-only sausages and it will take the time of  

time in hours =total required a quantity of the good /number of products in an hour

Now,

The time for Town A for sausages=120/10=12 hours

The time for Town B for hot dog buns=120/8=15 hours

Therefore, The total time =12+15=27 hours.
