the opportunity cost of an additional 100 dolls increases as more dolls are produced
If a nation has an absolute advantage in the production of a good,
it can produce that good using fewer resources then its trading partner.
According to the principle of comparative advantage,
countries should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners
Canada and the U.S. both produce wheat and computer software. Canada is said to have comparative advantage in producing wheat if
the opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is lower for Canada than it is for the U.S.
Please use the data provided below to answer this and the following question:

Australia has an absolute advantage in the production of both food and electronics
[Or]
Australia has an absolute advantage in the production of electronics, while Korea has comparative advantage in the production of electronics
Korea should
specialize in electronics production, export electronics, and import food
In a competitive market, the price of the product
none of the above
A market is a
group of demanders and suppliers of a particular good or service
Each of the following are determinants of demand except
technology
If John receives an increase in his pay, we would expect
his demand for normal goods to increase
An example of substitute goods would be
butter and margarine
Suppose that scientists find evidence that proves chocolate pudding lowers cholesterol. We would expect to see
an increase in the demand for chocolate pudding
John rents 5 movies per month when the price is $3.00 each and 7 movies per month when the price is $2.50. He demonstrates the
law of demand
Which of the following statements is true about the impact of an increase in the price of lettuce?
the equilibrium price and quantity of salad dressing will fall
The law of supply clearly states that
an increase in price of the product leads to an increase in quantity supplied, other things equal
Suppose you make gold jewelry. An increase in the price of gold will cause
supply of gold jewelry to decrease
Which of the following events would definitely result in a higher price in the market for oranges?
demand for oranges increases and supply of oranges decreases
Suppose roses are currently selling for $40.00 per dozen. The equilibrium price of roses is $30.00 per dozen. We would expect a
surplus to exist and the market price of roses to decrease
What would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee if the wages of coffee-bean pickers fell and the price of tea fell?
price will fall and the effect on quantity is ambiguous
What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of new cars if the price of gasoline rises and the price of steel rises?
quantity will fall and the effect on price is ambiguous
The concept of elasticity is used to
analyze supply and demand with greater precision
Price elasticity of demand measures
the responsiveness in quantity demanded to a change in price
In general, a flatter demand curve is more likely to be
price elastic
If the price elasticity of demand for a good is 4.0, then a 10% increase in price will result in a
40% decreased in quantity demanded
The midpoint method is used to compute elasticity because it
gives the same answer regardless of the direction of change
When the local used bookstore prices economics books at $15.00 each, they generally sell 70 per month. If they lower the price to $7.00 each they sell 90. Given this, the price elasticity of demand for economics books, calculated using the midpoint method is
0.34
When demand is inelastic, a decrease in price will cause
a decrease in total revenue
In which of the following situations will total revenue increase?
all of the above
Price controls are
usually enacted when policymakers believe that the market price of a good or service is unfair to buyers or sellers
In the 1970s, long lines at gas stations in the United States were primarily a result of the fact that
the U.S. government imposed a price ceiling on gasoline
