Answer:

The EAR on the investment is 23.79%

Explanation:

Here, we are concerned with calculating the EAR on the stock investment.

Firstly, we start with calculating the return on shares

Mathematically, that is; P1 - P0

From the question P1 = $57.36 while P0 = $54.14

So Return on shares = $57.36-$54.14 = $3.22

We proceed with calculating the Return on shares in percentage

Mathematically;

Return on shares in % = Return on shares/P0 * 100

= 3.22/54.14 * 100 = 5.95%

Lastly we calculate the effective annual interest;

The effective annual interest = 5.95%/3 * 12 = 23.79%

nignag [31]

Answer: B)150; 0; 100; 50

Explanation:

Based on the information that has been provided in the question, for France to produce a barrel of wine, it'll have an opportunity cost of:

= 100/150 = 0.67 bolts of clothes

For England to produce a barrel of wine, the opportunity cost will be:

= 150/50 = 3 bolts of clothes

Based on the explanation, France has a comparative advantage in wine making as its opportunity cost is lower than that of England.

For France to produce a bolt of cloth, the opportunity cost will be:

= 150/100 = 1.5 barrel of wine

For England to produce a bolt of cloth, the opportunity cost will be:

= 50/150 = 0.33 barrel of wine

Here, England has a comparative advantage in cloth production as its opportunity cost is lower than that of France.

Therefore, we can conclude that France produces 150 units of wine and

0 units of cloth and that France consumes 100 units of wine and 50 units of cloth.
