Inflation
Explanation:
Inflation refers to a situation of a general increase in the prices of goods and services in the economy. As prices of goods and services rise, the cost of living goes up. Inflation results in the purchasing power of currency to diminish.

Answer:
Spending variance will be equal to -729
Explanation:
We have given wages and salary is $2060 per month plus $442 per birth
We have given total number of birth = 117
So standard cost = $2060+117×$442 = $53774
Actual wages and salary for the month is = $54500
We have to find the spending variance
Spending variance is given by
Spending variance = Standard cost - actual cost = $53774 - $54500 = -729
So spending variance will be equal to -729
Answer:
Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.
The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.
Ex : Production Possibilities
Wine Sweater Trade off (Wine :Sweater)
France 10 5 1:0.5 or 2:1
Tunisia 8 24 1:3 or 0.33:1
- France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
- Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine < 2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia
