The following table gives production per month for each worker in each country. BASKETS OF FRUIT BOARD FEET OF TIMBER Libyan workers Egyptian workers 10 5 30 10 Note: Productivity of one worker for one month. a. Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of fruit? Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of timber? b. Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of fruit? of timber? c. Sketch the PPF's for both countries. d. Assuming no trading between the two, if both countries wanted to have equal numbers of feet of timber and baskets of fruit, how would they allocate workers to the two sectors? e.

1. As the owner of an ice-cream store, you believe it is necessary to purchase another ice-cream maker to meet the increased demand. You need to take a loan to finance it. The loan officer tells you that your revenues of $750,000 are insufficient to support additional debt. To qualify for the loan, your revenues need to be $50,000 higher. To generate additional revenue, you collect data on the price (in cents) per pound you charge customers and the related quantity of ice-cream consumed per year in pounds. The information is saved in HW3_2.xlsx. Use these data to estimate the log-linear demand specification to obtain least squares estimated of the demand for ice-cream. Write an equation that summarizes the demand for ice cream, and then determine the percentage price increase or decrease that is needed in order to boost revenues by $50,000.

A group of participants was surveyed and the information collected shown in the partially completed contingency table below regarding the site of skin cancer. Firstly, calculate the missing values. Melanoma Other Total Head U 43 X Trunk 52 V 98 Extremities 142 112 Y Total 229 W Z Now, using the completed contingency table, select the statements from the following list that are true. Note: a statement is true only if the value you calculated from the completed contingency table, when rounded to the same number of decimal places as in the statement, is the same as the value in the statement. 18.1% of skin cancers appear on the head 71.4% of skin cancers were melanomas or appeared on the head Given the skin cancer is something other than melanoma, the probability it is not on the extremities is 0.443 Of skin cancers appearing on the trunk, 46.9% are not melanomas
