Answer:

D. Neither country could gain from trade with each other because neither one has a comparative advantage

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to the units sacrificed from production of one good to produce an extra unit of another good.

In the given case, the number of workers are same.

The opportunity cost for producing corn instead of oats by Cornland would be : 10/40 units of oats =  0.4 units of oats

Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing corn by Oatland = 5/ 20 = 0.4 units of oats

Similarly, the opportunity cost for producing oats by Cornland = 4 units of corn

Opportunity cost for producing oats by Oatland = 4 units of corn.

As can be seen, none of the two i.e Cornland or Oatland enjoys a comparative advantage over other since for both, the opportunity cost is the same.

Hence, neither country would gain out of trade.

diamong [38]

Answer:

hope this helps

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Old portfolio return

11.0%

Old portfolio beta

1.20

New stock return

21.5%

New stock beta

1.70

% of portfolio in new stock = $ in New / ($ in old + $ in new) = $10,000/$100,000=

10%

New expected portfolio return = rp = 0.1 × 21.5% + 0.9 × 11% =

12.05%​

New expected portfolio beta = bp = 0.1 × 1.70 + 0.9 × 1.20 =

1.25​

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

=\frac{  1000}{(1.054)^3}

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)
