Answer:
C) abandon the production of jam to fully specialize in the production of peanut butter and then trade with Company Q for jam.
Explanation:
According to different theories about trade specialization, a company or even a country should specialize in producing only those products that they can make better than their competition, i.e. have a comparative or absolute advantage in their production.
In this case, since Company R has a comparative advantage in the production of peanut butter, it should specialize in producing only that. In case they need jam, they should trade with Company Q in order to get some jam. Eventually Company Q will only produce jam since they have a comparative advantage in jam production.
Answer:
6%
Explanation:
As per given data
Quarter Real GDP ($billions) Long-Run Trend of Real GDP ($billions)
1 4,000 4,000
2 4,160 4,120
3 4,326 4,244
4 4,413 4,371
5 4,501 4,502
6 4,591 4,637
7 4,499 4,776
8 4,409 4,919
9 4,673 5,067
10 4,954 5,219
11 5,252 5,376
12 5,376 5,537
Growth of GDP = (DGP of Current/recent period - GDP of Prior period) / DGP of Prior period
In this question prior period is quarter 10 and current /recent period is quarter 11.
So, formula will be
Growth of GDP = (DGP of quarter 11 - GDP of quarter 10) / GDP of quarter 10
As we need to calculate the real GDP growth the formula will be as follow
Growth of real GDP = (Real DGP of quarter 11 - Real GDP of quarter 10) / Real GDP of quarter 10
Growth of real GDP = ($5,252 billion - $4,954 billion) / $4,954 billion
Growth of real GDP = $298 billion / $4,954 billion
Growth of real GDP = 6.02% = 6%
I’m pretty sure the answer is c
