(1b)
ADVANTAGES:
(Pick Any Four)

(i) It reduces population pressure on agricultural land at the source region

(iv) It ensures the flow of capital to the receiving region .
(v) It leads to the development of social amenities at the receiving region

(3a)
(i) U.S.A
(ii) Brazil
(iiii) China

(3bi)
U.S.A:
(i) Crude oil
(ii) Cocoa
(iii) Lead

(3bii)
(i) Vehicles
(ii) Electrical and electronic equipment

(3c)
(i) Differences in Factor Endowment: Countries are endowed differently e.g. differences in climate and soil, differences in availability of natural resources, differences in capital endowment and differences in labour skills. These differences translate into differences in the abilities of countries to produce goods and services. Some countries, because of their factor endowments, can produce certain goods cheaper than other countries.

(ii) Differences in Technology: Advantageous trade can occur between countries if the countries differ in their technological abilities to produce goods and services. Technology refers to the techniques used to turn resources (labor, capital, land) into outputs (goods and services).

(iii) Existence of Economies of Scale in Production: With specialisation and production on a larger scale than may be possible domestically, a country may be able to gain more economies of scale. This will lead to lower average costs and benefit consumers through lower prices.

(iv) Differences in Demand: Advantageous trade can occur between countries if demands or preferences differ between countries. Individuals in different countries may have different preferences or demands for various products. For example, the Chinese are likely to demand more rice than Americans, even if consumers face the same price.
