Advanced Placement (AP)

The opportunity cost of a computer in China is 2 cars.

If the two countries specialize and trade, the country that will import is the United States because it has a higher opportunity cost in the production of computers.

The terms of trade would be beneficial to both China and the United States.

If productivity in China doubles, the country that has a comparative advantage in the production of cars is the United States.

<h3>What is comparative advantage?</h3>

Comparative advantage is when a country produces a good at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

A country should specialise in producing a good for which it has comparative advantage and import goods for which it does not have comparative advantage.

For China:

Opportunity cost in producing computers = 1200 / 200 = 6 cars

Opportunity cost in producing cars = 200 / 1200 = 1/6 computers

For United States:

Opportunity cost in producing computers = 400 / 200 = 2 cars

Opportunity cost in producing cars = 200 / 400 = 1/2 computers

Answer:

f(x)= 50+4.25x

g(x)= 40+6.25x

(5, 71.25)

Explanation:

they are asking for the number of garmets and price of those garmets where both shops charge the same amount

if you make the two shops prices into equations you will be trying to find the line intercept

to make the lines equations

they said f(x) is cleaning company 1

g(x) is cleaning company 2

and x in the number of garmets cleaned

you can see from prices that the price does not start at 0 it has a baseline price to clean

that baseline price is the +____

113.75-92.50 to find the difference in price for 5 garmets

=21.25

21.25/5 to find raise in price per 1 garmet

=4.25

now we know its 4.25x+b

baseline price = b

to find b plug in the values on the chart (first row)

4.25(5)+b=71.25

21.25+b=71.25

b=50

baseline price = 50

store 1 price is= f(x)= 50+4.25x

im gonna run out of space ill do the second one short

103.75-72.5=31.25

31.25/5=6.25

71.25=6.25(5)+x

71.25-31.25=x

x= 40= base price

g(x)= 40+6.25x

find intersection

g(x) =y

f(x) = y

y=y

therefore

50+4.25x=40+6.25x

10+4.25x=6.25x

10+4.25x=6.25x

10=2x

x=5

to find y intersection put in x to equation

y= 50+4.25x

y= 50+4.25(5)

y=50+21.25

y=71.25

intersection is (5, 71.25)
