Theresa: 6
1 Pound of Beef

Theresa: 10

a. wheat and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of beef.
b. beef and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
c. both goods and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of neither good.
d. neither good and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of both goods.
Answer:
B, beef and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's define comparative advantage.
Comparative advantage can be said to be the ability to produce a product at a far lesser rate than is obtainable.
From the above question, it can be deduced that Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat going by the huge difference in the time needed to produce wheat.
On the other hand, Brad has a comparative advantage in the production of beef. This is because the time difference in the production time of wheat isn't the same with beef and as such Brad has some advantage in this regard.
Cheers.
Answer:
$500 million
Explanation:
Assets - Liabilities
= $750 - ($50+$100+$200+$100)
= $750 million - $450 million
=$300 million
Common stock = $40 million, Retained earnings = $160 miillon
Equity = $160 + $40 + $300 = $500 million
So, best estimate for the firm’s value of equity is $500 million.
Answer:
Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium. A bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance while a bond that is issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.
Default risk in bonds refer to the risk that a bond issuer (borrower) is unable to pay the principal or interest agreed upon in the contract with the bondholder (lender) in a timely manner.
Hence, the true statement about default risk is that bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.
