Answer:

The infant industry argument is an economic rationale for trade protectionism. The core of the argument is that nascent industries often do not have the economies of scale that their older competitors from other countries may have, and thus need to be protected until they can attain similar economies of scale.

Baylor Bank believes the New Zealand dollar will appreciate over the next five days from $.48 to $.50. The following annual inte

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Its dollar profit from speculation over the five-day period will be <u>$208,035.93</u>.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Assuming Baylor Bank borrow $5,000,000

The borrowing will be converted to New Zealand dollar at the current exchange rate and we will have:

Conversion = $5,000,000 / 0.48 = NZ$10,416,667

The NZ$10,416,667 shall be invested at an annualized based on New Zealand lending rate of 6.75% over five days. This will produce future value (FV) as follows:

FV of investment = Amount invested * (1 + NZ lending rate)^(5 years / 360 days) = NZ$10,416,667 * (1 + 6.75%)^(5 / 360) = NZ$10,426,121.44

Converting the NZ$10,426,121.44 to dollar at the new rate of $.50 as follows:

New conversion = NZ$10,426,121.44 * $.05 = $5,213,060.72

Amount to repay based on the US borrowing rate = Amount borrowed in USD * (1 + US borrowing rate)^(5 years / 360 days) = $5,000,000 * (1 + 7.5%)^(5 / 360) = $5,000,000 * 1.00100495826555 = $5,005,024.79

Profit = New conversion - Amount to repay = $5,213,060.72 - $5,005,024.79 = $208,035.93

Therefore, its dollar profit from speculation over the five-day period will be <u>$208,035.93</u>.

Suppose an economy is modeled with a production possibilities frontier or curve (PPF) for butter (vertical axis) vs. guns (horiz

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: B - a general improvement in technology affecting production of all goods

Explanation: The Production Possibility Frontier is a curve that shows the two combination of goods an economy can produce when all its factors of production are efficiently used.

Technological progress shifts the curve outward, away from the origin as more output would be produced using the same combination of factor inputs.

Shifting of resources from butter to gun would lead to movements along the curve as more gun would be produced and less butter.

Pacifism becoming less popular which increases gun production, would cause movement along the curve.

Increase in consumer desire for butter increase the amount of butter produced . This would generate a movement along the curve

worty [1.4K]

The answer is the solution that best solves the problem is selected.

During the solution implementation step you should already have determined which solution you would apply to solve the problem that you encounter. By determining which solution to implement, you are on your way to solving the problem that requires your decision-making. If the solution proves to be unsuitable later on, you can refine it later on.
