Answer:
Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.
When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.
However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.
I think this is a trick question. Say, there are 2 pounds of cocoa / 1 gallon of chocolate ice cream. But then the problem only mentions the production of eight gallons of <em>strawberry</em> ice cream, not chocolate ice cream.
However, if they're somehow related (like they are made from the same machine), then you need 16 pounds of cocoa to produce 8 gallons of chocolate ice cream.

Answer:
$ 2 per unit on average
Explanation:
Calculation for what the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:
First step is to calculate the Relevant cost of making
Relevant cost of making = 9 + 7 + 1 + ( 5 * 80 % ) Relevant cost of making= $ 21
Now let calculate the Financial advantage of buying
Financial advantage of buying = ( 21 - 19 )
Financial advantage of buying= $ 2 per unit on average
