Suppose the united states is currently producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 18 tons of tacos and mexico is currently producing 8 tons of hamburgers and 10 tons of tacos. if the united states and mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of 12 additional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer) and a total of 4 additional ton(s) of tacos can be produced.

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply. a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
