Answer:

d. Aisha has an absolute advantage in both tasks and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.

The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.

In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation."

Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.

This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

An absolute advantage can be defined as the ability of an individual such as a producer to produce a good or provide a service in larger (greater) quantity for the same amount of money or the same quantity at a lesser cost or time. This ultimately implies that, an absolute advantage is the superior capability of an individual over another using the same resources.

Hence, Aisha has an absolute advantage in both tasks (superior capability) and a comparative advantage in knitting sweaters because she can knit 10 more sweaters than Mohammed using the same resources or time.

Describe the current global strategy and provide evidence about how the firm’s resources and competencies support the pressures
oksian1 [2.3K]

Describe the current global strategy and provide evidence about how the firm’s resources and competencies support the pressures regarding costs and local responsiveness. Describe entry modes they have usually used, and whether the modes are appropriate for the given strategy is described below

Explanation:

Global Strategy’ is a shortened term that covers three areas: global, multinational and international strategies. Essentially, these three areas refer to those strategies designed to enable an organisation to achieve its objective of international expansion.

In developing ‘global strategy’, it is useful to distinguish between three forms of international expansion that arise from a company’s resources, capabilities and current international position.

Implications of the three definitions within global strategy:

International strategy: the organisation’s objectives relate primarily to the home market.

Multinational strategy: the organisation is involved in a number of markets beyond its home country. But it needs distinctive strategies for each of these markets because customer demand and, perhaps competition, are different in each country. Importantly, competitive advantage is determined separately for each country.

Global strategy: the organisation treats the world as largely one market and one source of supply with little local variation. Importantly, competitive advantage is developed largely on a global basis.

If the interest rate on a savings account is 0.018%, approximately how much money do you need to keep in this account for 1 year
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer to this question would be: <span>A. $55,555
</span>In this question, the interest rate is 0.018% and you need to have $9.99 interest. That mean, you need to divide the target interest value with the current interest rate. The equation should be:

interest = bank account * interest rate
$9.99 = bank account * 0.018%
bank account = $9.99/ 0.018%   (don't forget the % mean 1/100)
bank account = $55,500

If we assume that the $9.99 value is $9.99... then the answer would be $55,555
