Multiple Choice

Table: Market for Oil Suppose that oil is produced by 10 countries, each of which produces 10 million barrels of oil a day (MBD) for a total 100 MBD. The world price of oil at this quantity is $36 per barrel so each country earns $360 million a day. Reference: Ref 15-2 (Table: Market for Oil) Refer to the table.
