Read the two articles below that discuss why fuel prices fluctuate. Research two of these types further.

American Airlines and British Airways are proposing to merge. If British pilots and American pilots are represented by different unions, how would this merger affect airline costs?

Module 2 Simulation help Posted Jan 11, 2022 12:01 AM How to Play-see attached as well. • Each morning, you split 30 minutes between preparing burgers and preparing fries for later sale. • Your screen tells you how many fries and how many burgers you make per minute. • You divide your time by using the plus buttons and pressing Prepare Food. o Because you have 30 minutes in total, as you increase time preparing an item, time spent on the other decreases. Earnings Computation • You sell only one item: Combos consisting one one burger and one order of fries. • Your earnings equal the number of Combos you bring. o I.e., whichever is smaller: the number of fries you bring or the number of burgers you bring. Example o You make 2 burgers per minute you spend on burgers. o You make 1 order of fries per minute you spend on fries. o You spend 14 minutes preparing burgers and 16 minutes preparing fries. Earnings = Combos=minimum{Burgers, Fries} Earnings = minimum{14 × 2, 16 × 1} 16 = minimum{28, 16} Attachment(s): ComparativeAdvantageStudentInstructions(1).pptx (581.46 KB) ComparativeAdvantage_NoTrade_Instructions.mp4 (4.36 MB) Comparative Advantage (without Trade): Module Two External Learning Tool STOP: Please read the instructions before clicking on the simulation link.

The United States has a comparative advantage over China on the production of specialized and capital-intensive labor. It also has a comparative advantage in the production of services, such as travel and tourism. For this discussion, first play these simulation games in the MindTap environment: Comparative Advantage (Without Trade) Comparative Advantage (With Trade) In your initial post, share your experience playing the games, and include an image of one of your simulation reports. (See Module Two Simulation Discussion Screenshot Instructions PDF.) Then address the following: Countries trade goods just like the food trucks do in the simulation. Did the food trucks benefit from specialization and trade? How can the United States benefit from specialization and trade? Provide examples from the textbook. Research and share a current news article on international trade that supports the argument economists make in favor of free trade agreements (FTAs). In what ways is the article supportive of FTAs? In your responses, comment on at least two of your peers' posts. Critique the arguments made in each peer's article by weighing the costs of FTAs against the benefits. Support your position with sources from the news or the textbook. To access your simulations, click the simulation link found in the module. To complete this assignment, review the Module Two Simulation Discussion Guidelines and Rubric.
