sorry if its wrong:

Outward or inward shifts in the PPF can be driven by changes in the total amount of available production factors or by advancements in technology. If the total amount of production factors like labor or capital increases, then the economy is able to produce more goods at any point along the frontier.

The answer is d.
If you produce efficiently (in other words, producing goods with appropriate labour force since a good labour force consists of appropriate knowledge of a certain field of that product and appropriate number of labour.) a society can produce outside the production possibilities curve.

In each of the following cases, determine how supply or demand shifts and how the equilibrium changes.

kupik [55]

Explanation:

A. When microchip used in smartphones become less costly to produce, the supply of smartphones are going to increase, causing a fall in equilibrium price and a rise in equilibrium quantity.

since one of the resources used to make smartphones has become cheaper, more smartphones would be produced, raising its supply, increased supply causes fall in price and rise in equilibrium quantity.

B. since the ALS bucket challenge went viral, supply and demand for research would increase, causing equilibrium price or opportunity cost to either rise or remain unchanged. the equilibrium quantity will then rise, fall or remain unchanged

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.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %) ($44,096)

Net sales $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03) ($1,133,000)

Gross profit $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10) ($522,500)

Depreciation ($25,000)

Net income $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.
