Linear scale: an upward-sloping curve with increasing slope (called convex shape)
Ratio scale: an upward-sloping straight line
b.
Linear scale: an upward-sloping straight line
Ratio scale: a straight horizontal line
c.
Linear scale: an upward-sloping straight line

Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem: Suppose Azerbaijan and Georgia produce meat and potatoes. Azerbaijan is capital-abundant than Georgia (Scarce factor in Azerbaijan is land, and in Georgia it is capital). Suppose meat production is relatively more capital-intensive. When the two countries will open up borders and start trading with one another, please indicate in the boxes below, what is likely to happen to the variables after the trade
Write + the variable increases; - if the variable decreases; 0 if the variable does not change; A if the direction of change is unknown.

- Question 1: A company makes two types of calculators, one that uses batteries and one that is solar powered. The production of each battery-operated calculator involves 1 hour on Machine A, 2 hours on Machine B, and 1 hour on Machine C. The production of each solar powered calculator involves 2 hours on Machine A, 1 hour on Machine B, and 1 hour on Machine C. The company can use Machine A for a total of 14 hours, Machine B for a total of 20 hours, and Machine C for a total of 9 hours. If the company can earn a profit of $3 for each battery powered calculator and $8 for each solar powered calculator, how many of each should it produce to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit it can earn? Question 2arrow_forwardhe graph below shows Isabella's daily production possibilities curve for dresses and skirts. The graph plots skirts per day versus dresses per day. A diagonal line starts at (0, 4) and ends at the bottom right at (20, 0). The following points are marked on the line from top to bottom: W at (0, 4); X at (5, 3); Y at (10, 2); Z at (15, 1) and V at (20, 0). A point T is marked below the diagonal line at (7, 0.8).

On the basis of the above scenario, answer the following questions: (i) Draw the graph of E(P). (Use GeoGebra graphing tool for drawing the graphs) Using the graph: (ii) Determine if E(P) is a function of P. If yes, find the domain and range. (iii) If not, how can you make E(P) as a function? (iv) Find how much export is done for 70 and 20 thousand of production. (v) Additionally, explain here what dependent and independent variables in this problem are.arrow_forward
