Solution

Sure, here are the answers to your questions:

A17. The marginal cost is calculated by the change in total cost divided by the change in quantity. In this case, the total cost increased by €400 (€1600 - €1200) and the quantity increased by 2 units (6 units - 4 units). So, the marginal cost is €400 / 2 = €200. Therefore, the answer is (a) €200.

A18. A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if it can produce it at a lower opportunity cost than other countries. Therefore, the answer is (b) The country produces shirts at a lower opportunity cost than other countries.

A19. To find the Euro price of a good, you would divide the price in pounds by the exchange rate. In this case, £28 St / 0.7941 = €35.27. However, this exact number is not an option, so the closest answer is (c) 35.26.

A20. The Euro Zone is a group of European Union countries that have adopted the euro as their official currency. Greece and Austria are both part of the Euro Zone, but Denmark is not. Therefore, the answer is (c) Denmark.
