Susan can pick 4 pounds of coffee in an hour or gather 2 pounds of nuts. tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee in an hour or gather 4

Kryger [21]

Answer: Total earning is $96 for both Susan and Tom

Explanation:

Susan can pick 4 pounds of coffee or 2 pounds of nuts.

Tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee or 4 pounds of nuts.

Price of Coffee = $2 per pound

Price of Nuts = $2 per pound

Opportunity cost of producing coffee for Susan = 2/4 = 0.5

Opportunity cost of producing coffee for Tom = 4/2 = 2

Opportunity cost of coffee is low for Susan, so she has a comparative advantage in it.

So, Susan produces 6*4 = 24 pounds of coffee, total revenue from sale of coffee is $24*2 = $48

Opportunity cost of producing Nuts for Susan = 4/2 = 2

Opportunity cost of producing Nuts for Tom = 2/4 = 0.5

Opportunity cost of coffee is low for Tom, so he has a comparative advantage in it.

So, Tom produces 6*4 = 24 pounds of nuts, total revenue from sale of nuts is $24*2 = $48

So, $total earning = $48+$48 = $96$

N, the number of years=72/9.6

=7.5 years

Invariably,in 7.5 years' when Sally would have been 10.5 years(3 years now+7.5 years) the investment would have doubled.

By another 7.5 years when Sally would have been 18 years(10.5 years +7.5 years), the investment would have doubled twice.

The 72 rule is fast-track approach to calculating the duration of an investment.
