Answer: Third
Explanation:
Diminishing returns to labor refers to the phenomenon where every additional worker leads to an increase in production at a decreasing rate.
Using the scenario described, when there was only one employee the company could mow 4 lawns a day. They added a 2nd worker and that figure went to 9 lawns a day which is an increase of FIVE.
When they added a 3rd worker, the figure again went up but only to 12 which is an increase of THREE only as opposed to the last increase of FIVE.
After the third worker therefore, there was an increase but at a smaller rate.

The correct answer is A. Test.
Explanation:
A test is different from an experiment: Before performing a test, there is an expected result. The test is performed to show this result. In an experiment, the result is open. Very often, tests are performed as part of an experiment.
Answer:
7 years (to the nearest year)
Explanation:
Given that;
A = amount
P= principal
t = time
r = rate
A =3P(given in the question)
Formula for compound interest;
A = P(1 + r)^t
Substituting values;
3P = P(1 + 18/100)^t
3P/P= (1.18)^t
3 = (1.18)^t
log 3 = t log 1.18
t = log 3/log 1.18
t = 0.4771/0.0719
t = 6.6 years
t = 7 years (to the nearest year)
Answer:
Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.
When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.
However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.
