To predict the total costs for 3,000 birdcages:
Use the average cost per unit of $18.00 and multiply it by 3,000.
($18)(3,000)= $54,000
$54,000 is the predicted total costs of 3,000 birdcages.
Answer:
The Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing botanical soaps.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage can be defined as the ability of an economy to produce a good at lower opportunity cost than other economies. This enables the economy sell the product at lower prices, therefore having higher margin of profit than other economies.
The opportunity cost of Micro Island in producing 300 botanical soaps is the cost of producing 30 bamboo towels. The opportunity cost is quite low.
While for Macro Island the opportunity cost of producing 500 botanical soaps is 250 bamboo towels. The opportunity cost is higher than for Micro Island.
