Answer:

Explanation:

A country gains from trade if it specialises in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries. this means that the country can produce the good by forgoing fewer alternative products

For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.

for country A,

opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5

opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2

for country B,

opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5

opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2

Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice

Which of the following statements regarding the opportunity cost of producing potatoes and the production possibilities frontier

Temka [501]

Answer: A. The island of Atlantis has an increasing opportunity cost of producing potatoes and the production possibility frontier is bowed outward.

Explanation:

When there is an increasing opportunity cost of producing a good, the Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) will be bowed out to represent that as more of the good is being produced, more of another good is being given up to do so.

For the island of Atlantis therefore, as they produce more of potatoes, they are giving up being able to produce whatever more and more of other goods they produce which is therefore leading to a PPF that is bowed outward.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The statement is false

Explanation:

Non- essential expense is the expense which is spent on the extra things, which means it is not essential to meet the needs. Whereas the essential expense are those expenses which are spend on consuming the things required for living. For example food, cloth.

So, both the expenses are those expense which are necessary for an individual or person and therefore, cannot be reduced in order to produce the more savings.

Suppose that the market price for a bottle of vitamins is $2.54 and that at that price the total market quantity demanded is 105

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, The amount that each firm must produce is not given or the Quantity/demand equation that each firm faces is not given. We use a firm's quantity/demand equation to calculate how much each firm should produce and then work out the number of firms that should exist in the industry.

let us assume quantity produced by each firm is given by this equation;

Q = 1900 + 15000Price

We need to plug the Price of $2.54 per unit Vitamin Bottle to the quantity equation. Q = 1900 + 15000(2.54) = 40 000

each firm must produce 40 000 units

Number of firms that should exist = Total Market Quantity/Firms Quantity Number of firms that should exist = 1055 560 000/40 000

Number of firms that should exist = 26389

When the price is $2.54, with each firm Producing 40000 units, 26389 firms should exist in the market to cover the total Market Quantity of 1055 560 000.

The question may provide you with the Quantity that each firm must produce, in that case you simple divide total market quantity by the firm's quantity to find number of firm that should exist.

When you are given quantity equations you use the price to work out quantity produced by each firm and then Divide the Market Quantity by Firm's quantity to find number of firms that should exist
