Answer:

B. Buy Euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£  sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

By calculating the cross rate between  € and £ we see that Euros are undervalued by the bank as they are quoted as 1.25 ,

S(€/£)=S($/£)/S($/€)

           2/1.5

            1.33

so in this case we by Euros convert to pounds and the convert to dollars

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00

the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00

To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) =  S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).

Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)

S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)

= (2 / 1.5)

= €1.33.

Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.

International trade:

Trade is the exchange of goods and services for commercial interests. International trade involves trade between countries. Most countries trade in the form of exports and imports. Exports are goods and services taken to foreign countries while imports are goods and services received from other countries. When there are greater exports than imports, it means that more of your goods and services are on demand by other countries thus makes your currency stronger. An increased demand for domestic goods and services increases production efficiency which allows a country to move beyond its production possibilities frontier.

Olivia is ordering trendy necklaces and earrings made with semi-precious stones from a supplier in Belize, for her city boutique
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

<u>b. False</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Remember, </em>the term social responsibility in this context refers to an individual doing what would benefit society first, over any gain he may derive if he does otherwise.

For example, we are told that there is "low paying wages in Belize," which means low worker welfare, thus, even if no labor laws were been broken in his country, Olivia has a social responsibility to pay fair prices for the necklaces and earrings.
