Assume France and Mali can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

In France:

Farmer can produce = 10 metric tons of grain or 5 metric tons of dates in a season

In Mali:

Farmer can produce = 10 metric tons of grain or 25 metric tons of dates.

(1) Mali has the absolute advantage in producing dates because Mali produces more metric tons of dates than France from the same level resources.

(2) No country has an absolute advantage in producing grain because same amount of grain were produced by both the countries with the same level of resources.

(3) Opportunity cost of dates in France = $\frac{10}{5}$

= 2 grain

Opportunity cost of dates in Mali = $\frac{10}{25}$

= 0.4 grain

Therefore, Mali's opportunity cost of producing dates is lower than France, so Mali has a comparative advantage in producing dates.

(4) Opportunity cost of grain in France = $\frac{5}{10}$

= 0.5 dates

Opportunity cost of grain in Mali = $\frac{25}{10}$

= 2.5 dates

Therefore, France's opportunity cost of producing grains is lower than Mali, so France has a comparative advantage in producing grains.

1 $20,400 $93,600

2 $20,400 $73,200

What are some of the primary reasons a company decides to expand internationally? Identify a company in the news that has recent

nignag [31]

Answer:

Primary reasons a company would decide to expand internationally are as follows:

Expanding markets and increasing sales are one of the primary reasons.
Companies get globalized in order to become a market leader.
The company may choose to enter into international market in order to diversify a company's product line.
Markets and investments would be protected by companies once they enter into international market and get engaged in an international business.
Controlling the expenses is again one of the most important reasons. Company would buy the resources to gain cost advantage.
For example, the company which is located in Canada gets most of their resources from China; the company would look forward to get situated near China.
Another reason would be, to get protected from their competitors or to gain advantage over them; the company would decide to expand internationally.

The three motivational factors that induce a company to go global are as follows:

Economies of Scale — The advantage that a company gain through mass production to achieve the lowest possible production cost per unit.
Economies of scope — The advantage that a firm gains by producing different varieties of products and services and at different regions.
Low-Cost Production Factors — It is an opportunity to purchase the resources at the lower possible cost.

Jaguar Land Rover decided to manufacture cars outside the UK for the first time. In recent years, it has rapidly expanded in its home UK and the company is planning to go to Brazil and implement the strategies that they had implemented in India.

Jaguar Land Rover moves to other countries to gain the opportunity of producing at a lower price and to gain economies of scale.
