explain whether the given statement is true, false or uncertain. Then provide arguments to justify your selection. On an average, real GDP per capita has grown at a much slower rate in USA than in Japan after the second world war. This is because of much lower levels of GDP per capita in USA than in Japan around the second world war time.

Sometimes the exports of developing nations are concentrated in only one or a few primary products. For example, according to World Bank data, coffee constitutes almost 90% of Burundi’s total exports. Therefore, changes in demand or supply of coffee can have significant effects on the health of Burundi’s economy. The current world price of coffee is $5.00 per pound, but there is uncertainty about the shape of the demand and supply curves. The following graphs (scenario A and scenario B) show two possibilities for demand and supply in the market for coffee. Suppose that favorable growing conditions cause an increase in the global supply of coffee. On the following graph, shift the demand or supply curve of scenario A to show what happens in the market for coffee as a result of this event. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it…

True or False According to estimates by ecological economists and scientists, we have sufficient levels of food and water to sustain the world’s population. One of the main reasons why we have food and water shortages is because these invaluable resources are not managed well or distributed equally in all regions of the world.

Country A has a natural climate that is perfect for growing strawberries - long sunny seasons and plenty of rich, well drained soil. Country A also has a big labor force with agriculture knowledge and can produce 80,000 baskets of strawberries in one growing season. By contrast, Country B’s climate is less well-appointed for strawberries - a shorter summer season with large areas of red clay. They also have a smaller population trained in agriculture. Country B can only produce 30,0000 baskets of strawberries in one growing season. In this scenario and with this information, Country A has Group of answer choices A)Absolute advantage for producing strawberries B)Comparative advantage for producing strawberries C)The lowest synthetic advantage for producing strawberries D)Elastic advantage for producing strawberries
