1. Distinguish between an absolute advantage and a comparative advantage. Cite an example of a country that has an absolute advantage and one with a comparative advantage. Absolute advantage is when a monopoly exists in a country when it is the only source and product of an item. Meanwhile‚ a comparative advantage is when a country can supply products more efficiently and at a lower cost than it can produce other items. South Africa has an absolute advantage because of its diamonds. The United States

As I looked down onto the field I could see my breath float upwards out of the stadium and dissipate into the crisp fall air. I turned to see my dad cocooned in his Lehigh scarf‚ while a brown and white pom-pom danced on top his head. Yankee stadium was almost at max capacity‚ full of Lehigh mountain hawks and Lafayette leopards. We watched with anticipation as the first punt of the 150th Lehigh Lafayette game lifted the ball high into the air. The atmosphere was electric‚ a sensation to be remembered

comply with customer needs in their country. The United States company does not have an absolute advantage in pants or jackets that are ordered in bulk‚ which is my company’s biggest need. The Honduran company has an absolute advantage in jackets and pants because it doesn’t take them long to produce both items in bulk and in an expedited time frame. The United States company would have a comparative advantage in pants if they stopped producing jackets and just made pants because they would produce more

A journal orbit study must be done to optimize the clearance space between the journal and the bearing surface. The study must provide the minimum oil film thickness (MOFT) and the Peak oil film pressure (POFP). Values of these parameters for the optimized clearance are important factors. The MOFT is used in the calculation of the oil flow‚ temperature rise‚ and heat balance. According to Conway-Jones and Tarver [1993]‚ about 52% of the heat generated in connecting rod bearings in automobile engines

The Consequences of the Industrial Revolution: The Standard of Living Debate. What happened to living standards during the Industrial Revolution? From today’s perspective‚ over 200 years later‚ most people would say that industrialization has raised living standards dramatically from those that prevailed in the 1700s. In fact‚ there is general agreement
