Answer:
Principle of National Treatment
Explanation:
The World Trade Organization (WTO) established the principle of national treatment in order for the member states to treat foreign products equally to domestic products. This means that any legally imported good should receive the same legal treatment as domestically produced goods, e.g. they have to be taxed the same way.
The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n
Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A
Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years
Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.
Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).
Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years
To nearest year;
n = 21 years
Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.

Answer:
1. Sports Team Shirt - Excludable / Rivalrous
2. Air we breathe - Non - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous
3. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna - Non -Excludable / Rivalrous
4. A Toll Road - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous
Explanation:
A rivalrous good is one in which usage, by an individual limits the ability of another to use the same good. Rival goods are tangible. This means that they can be held or touched. Examples in this category are; A sports team shirt and, the Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna. Eating a Tuna would limit access to another person, who wants to eat Tuna at that point in time. The same would apply to wearing a sports shirt.
A Non - Rivalrous good is one in which usage by an individual does not limit consumption by another. Most non - tangible goods are non -
rivalrous. Examples in this category are; the air we breathe, and the Toll Road. Almost anyone can access these.
Excludable goods are only used after payment for them has been made. Examples are the Toll Road and the Sports Team Shirt.
Non - Excludable goods can be used even when payment has not been made. Examples are Air and The Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna which anyone can access.
