her and then trades for those goods that come at a higher production or opportunity to him or her. The law of comparative advantage explains how people can gain from trade and specialization. Comparative advantage is defined as the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than others can produce it. Therefore‚ specializing gives that country a comparative advantage over others. specialization also leads to economic interdependence which is when producers in one nation depend on other

What simple machines did you incorporate into your nifty lifting machine? 1. In the nifty lifting machine Kenny‚ Kaylee and I used three simple machines. We used a pulley system as our first simple machine. The pulleys are what allowed pulling the 600 gram can up the five centimeters. My group also used a wheel and axle‚ which is the crank that we used to pull up the cans. The wheel is the gear and the axle is the dowel rod we used to tie the rope around. Then we used a wedge to stop the gear on

Rising supply from Brazil will create competition for the business of the largest demand which is held in China. “Production in Brazil climbed 53 percent in the past decade‚ compared with 7 percent in the US” (Javier‚ Chanjaroean‚ 2012). In 2012-2013‚ Brazil is said to produce 81 million tons of soybean as compared to 77.84 million tons in the US which portrays Brazil’s comparative advantage (Javier‚ Chanjaroean‚ 2012). China
