Answer:

The price elasticity of ground beef is -1.65.

Explanation:

At the price level, $5 the quantity demanded is 9,000.

A decline in the price to $4 leads to an increase in the quantity demanded at 12,000.

The price elasticity of demand will be

= \frac{Change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Change\ in\ price}

= \frac{\frac{Q2-Q1}{Q1} }{\frac{P2-P1}{P1} }

= \frac{\frac{12,000-9,000}{9,000} }{\frac{4-5}{5} }

= \frac{\frac{3,000}{9,000} }{\frac{-1}{5} }

= \frac{0.33}{-0.2}

= -1.65

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

in these case unit cost = 6+10+6+6+2+2 = 32

+Direct materials $6

+Direct labor $10

+Fixed manufacturing overhead $6,000  / 1000 units= $6

+Variable manufacturing overhead $6
