Answer:
Thailand:
Opportunity cost of computers = 300/20 = 15 tons of rice
US:
Opportunity cost of computers = 800/100 = 8 tons of rice
US has a comparative advantage in production of computers
Absence of trade:
Thailand consumes 150 tons of rice, it can consume = (300 - 150)/30 x 2 = 10 computers
US consumes 50 computers, it can consume = 400 tons of rice
After trade :
10 computers exchanged for 120 tons of rice
Thailand continues to consume 150 tons of rice, it will consume = 12 computers (=10 + 30/15)
US continues to consume 50 computers, it will consume = 440 tons of rice (=120 + 40 x 8)
Both would accept the proposal as both are better off with trade
Answer:
1. Global depository receipts
2. External commercial borrowing
3. American depository receipts
4. Foreign currency convertible bonds
Explanation:
1. Global depository receipts. When a company buys shares of a foreign company, a certificate will be issued by the local depository bank, which allows for security supported by the shares purchased.
Here, Gracious ltd could raise funds by buying of shares in a company in India hence gives the company an avenue to hold shares in foreign country.
2. External commercial borrowing. These are loans granted to viable companies outside of India who are venturing into commercial businesses. Before theses loans are given, there is what is called eligibility status; which must be reviewed and thus confirm with the reserved bank of India before such loans are given.
3. American depository receipts. These are negotiable capital market instruments, issued by a bank in the United States, which shows the number of shares held by a foreign company, trading in the US capital market. A company could use this as a way of raising funds in the India capital market because it is well backed by the bank in the country where the company is.
4. Foreign currency convertible bonds. Here, a bond is issued in a different currency distinct from the issuer's local currency. What this means is that the money being sought for by the issuing company comes in a foreign currency denomination.
