The nation of Hillyland is initially self-sufficient in coffee and rice, and so is Flatland. Coffee grows best on hilly land,

olasank [31]

Answer:

Both Hillyland and Flatland will be better off in a win-win solution if they engage in comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Suppose each nation decides to specialize in the most suitable crop, and trade with the other nation for the other product, the trade-offs will be the products they supposedly can produce but do not have comparative advantage in. For Hillyland it will be rice and for Flatland it will be coffee.

When both nations practice comparative advantage there will be no losers because economic theory suggests that, when countries practice comparative advantage, the sum total of their combined output will be greater than if they had produced all products themselves because they wanted to be self sufficient.

The logic is simple, goods are less costly to produce in a country that has comparative advantage and at the end they could be sold cheaper to the country that traded it off.

Describe the main differences for revenue spending between ""for profit"" companies and ""not for profit"" companies. Describe h

Ket [755]

Answer with Explanation:

The analysis includes the assessment of Non profit organization's efficiency both in fundraising and spending, economy of operations and the effectiveness of the operations. This can be explained with an example. For example if the non profit organization has an objective to increase the book reading habit because it believes that the people who read more are not violent personalities and in this way they can reduce the crime rate. So it has established number of libraries in different communities. Now we will look at at what cost it has acquired these libraries (Economy), how much people have visited these libraries (Efficiency) and whether the crime rate in the community has sufficiently fallen or not (Effectiveness). So this helps in understanding whether the objective was met or not.

However when we analyze the financial statement of profit making organizations then we use many profit and efficiency ratios to assess the performance of the organization. These ratios can also be helpful if the NGO is in business as well. But most of the NGOs rely on grants and these grants are subjective to their previous performance.

The NGOs are also required to publish reports according to the grant provider's enforced accounting principles, rules and guidelines. Just take the example of US-AID program that requires the Non profit organization to publish financial reports in specific format and enforces different Generally Acceptable Principles to be used in preparing these financial reports. So yes it is much more different in analyzing the financial statements of Non profit organization and profit making organization.

Assume a two-country, two-good, and two inputs model. Let the two countries in this model be the United States and the Rest of t

mamaluj [8]

Answer: export steel and import wheat

Explanation:

According to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, a country should export the foods and services that it can produce in abundance and also produce efficiently while it imports the one that is less efficiently produced of the two goods being compared.

In this scenario, the two countries in this model are the United States and the Rest of the World; the two goods being produced by each of the countries are steel and wheat; the two factors of production used in producing the goods in each country are capital and land.

Since the United States is capital-abundant and steel production is capital-intensive, this mean that the United States can produce steel more efficiently and in abundance. Therefore, U.S should produce steel and export to other countries while it buys wheat from the rest of the world.
