Suppose portugal has 700 workers and 26,000 units of capital, and france has 18,000 workers and 700 units of capital. technology is identical in both countries. assume that wine is the capital-intensive good and cloth is the labor-intensive good. which of the following statements is correct if the nations start trading with each other? a) wages will increase in portugal. b) rental rates in france will increase. c) wages in france will decrease. d) rental rates in portugal will increase.

Each row in a database is a set of unique information called a(n) table. record. object. field.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
