late penalty. For example at Day 50‚ before the game started‚ we observed that machine 1 was running at 100% utilization for a few days before‚ and we predicted a bottleneck situation would occur here. Therefore we decided to purchase an additional machine immediately as the game started so as to allow continuous processing of lots to meet the demand and prevent losses in revenue. After purchasing additional machine 1‚ we continued observing the utilization of the machine. We were careful not to buy

International Trade Simulation Paper 1.Did your selected country have more labor or capital? The country I selected had more capital rather than labor which was the blue island. 2. Why did you select this particular country? The reason I chose the country with more capital was because I believed that it had more to trade with. It seemed to have less of a labor force to keep happy. 3. Did your selected trading partner have more labor or capital? The country that I selected as a trading
