Suppose that Italy and Austria both produce fish and shoes. Italy’s opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 5 pounds of fish, while Austria’s opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 10 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell that _____ has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes, and ______ has a comparative advantage in the production of fish.

Suppose that Italy and Austria consider trading shoes and fish with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than _______ of fish for each pair of shoes it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than _______ of shoes for each pound of fish it exports to Italy.

Based on your answers to the previous question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of fish) would allow both Austria and Italy to gain from trade? Check all that apply.

(A) 8 pounds of fish per pair of shoes

The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of ambulance. The TheXarbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage" be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5years are as follows:
Year Mileage
1 3000
2 4000
3 3400
4 3800
5 3700
a) Forecast the mileage for next year using a 2-year moving average.
b) Find the MAD based on the 2-year moving average forecast in part (a), (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
c) Use a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of .4 and .6 to forecast next year's mileage. (The weight of .6 is for the most recent year.) What MAD results from using this approach to forecasting? (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
d) Compute the forecast for year 6 using exponential smoothing, an initial forecast for year 1 of 3,000 miles, and a = .5.
