Answer:
c. 10.38%
Explanation:
Loan Amount = $10,000
Quarterly Interest payment = $250
Interest Payment for the year = $250 x 4
Interest Payment for the year = $1,000
Nominal interest rate = ($1,000 / $10,000) x 100 = 10%
Nominal interest rate = r = 10%
Number of periods = m = 4
Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + r/m )^m]-1
Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.1/4 )^4] -
Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.025 )^4] -1
Effective Interest rate = 10.38%
The prospect of greater market share and setting themselves apart from the competition is an incentive for firms to innovate and make better products. But no firm possesses a dominant market share in perfect competition. Profit margins are also fixed by demand and supply.
A perfectly competitive firm is a price taker, which means that it must accept the equilibrium price at which it sells goods. If a perfectly competitive firm attempts to charge even a tiny amount more than the market price, it will be unable to make any sales.
Perfect competition occurs when there are many sellers, there is easy entry and exiting of firms, products are identical from one seller to another, and sellers are price takers.
The market structure is the conditions in an industry, such as number of sellers, how easy or difficult it is for a new firm to enter, and the type of products that are sold.

Answer: Higher; Comparative advantage
Explanation:
A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
Therefore,
United states's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = 
= 5 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes
Canada's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = 
= 2 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes
Hence, Canada has a comparative advantage in producing pairs of shoes because Canada's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is lower than United states opportunity cost.
