1. which country has the comparative advantage in dvds? (remember! ooo output –other goes over! ) [2 pts]

The answer is Country B

Comparative advantages can be described as a country's ability to product a certain product in higher quantities and lower price (efficiently) compared to another country.

In this case, Country A can product  100 CDs and only 100 DVDs, by while country B has the capacity to produce 50 CDs but 200 DVDs.

Clearly Country B has a better infrastructure to produce DVDs in bulk

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
