Describe the advantage of increased global trade and competition on the u.S. Economy

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The United States can specialise in producing goods and services which capitalise on its competitive advantages.

Explanation:

Increased global trade opens the United States (U.S) to international markets. This allows businesses in the U.S to scale their operations so as to meet world demand. In doing so, these businesses may experience lower costs per unit due to increasing production capacity. This growth in operations could lead to increased competition from foreign businesses seeking to enter or operating in the U.S economy. Owing to this, higher levels of innovation and efficiency at firm level would be instituted so as to offer competitive prices.

Location Score

dolphi86 [110]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-

Composite score for A is

= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90

= 88.05

Composite score for B is

= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96

= 90.91

Composite score for C is

= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95

= 87.90

Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C

b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that hi

tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?

A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.

B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.

D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:

MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)

Where:

MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100

MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110

Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2

Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3

Subtitling the relevant values, we have:

MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50

MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67

This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67

The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.

Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).

Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
