For any economy, the "scarcity" problem simply means that the available free resources are "not enough" to produce all goods and services required to satisfy the unlimited human wants.
Question 1 options:
| True | |
| False |
Question 2
Division of labor in some cases is used to explain why countries gain when specializing in producing fewer goods and services.
Question 2 options:
| True | |
| False |
Question 3
Why economies may gain when specializing in producing fewer goods and services?
Question 3 options:
|
Because producing fewer products with higher scales allows for an advanced level of "division of labor". |
|
|
Because producing at a higher scale in fewer products always implies higher profits for the producers and greater consumption level for the buyers. |
|
|
Because producing at a higher scale in fewer products always allow consumers to get the products at lower prices. |
|
|
All of the above can be used to explain the gains from specialization in production. |
Question 4
Because the number of available goods and services is uncountable, countries may never gain less if they specialize endlessly in producing fewer goods and services.
Question 4 options:
| True | |
| False |
a) True
Scarcity occurs in the market because the human wants are unlimited and the demand in the market are limited.
b) True
A nation will be able to specialize only when the labor specialize in the market and produce more using less resources.
c) "D"
all the given options are correct. specialization reduce the price of the goods and increase the efficiency in the market.
d) False
A nation will only specialize in the goods where they have a comparative advantage in the market.

Question 5 What can be used to explain why countries may not always benefit from the specialization in producing fewer goods and services? Question 5 options: For a given firm, producing at an extremely high scale may embrace higher average cost of production. For a given firm, producing at an extremely high scale should cause the total production cost to be greater than the total revenue. For a given country, producing fewer products at extremely high production scales should lower...
Question 5 "Free Trade" (with no barriers) is considered to be better than "No Trade" if it guarantees a more efficient reallocation of available economic resources within each economy, and between all economies involved in this trade.

4. Specialization and tradeWhen a country specializes in the production of a good, this
means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost
than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage,
both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each
other.The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers
(PPFs) for Maldonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce potatoes
and coffee, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade)
producing 18 million pounds of potatoes and 9 million...
