Answer:

  • Portugal : Shoes Opportunity Cost ; Sweden : Rye Opportunity Cost
  • Trade gainful if :  Portugal gets > 3 rye per shoes; Sweden gets > 1/11 shoes per rye
  • Gainful Terms of Trade : '7 ryes per per shoes', 10 ryes per shoes'.

Explanation:

                  Shoes      Rye      Trade off Ratio (Rye:Shoes )

Portugal      1               3            1:3 or 0.33:1       (1/3 = 0.33)

Sweden       1              11            1:11 or 0.09:1     (1/11= 0.09)

Portugal & Sweden have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other, in shoes & rye respectively. Portugal will export shoes to Sweden (importer). Sweden will export rye to Portugal (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio - Portugal gets more than 3 ryes per shoes, Sweden gets more than 1/11 shoes per rye.

'2 ryes per shoes' & '1 rye per shoes' : are not gainful trade ratios for Portugal, as it is getting more i.e 3 ryes per shoes at its own domestic ratio.

'7 ryes per per shoes'  is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Portugal: As it gets 7 i.e more than 3 ryes per shoes.
  • Sweden : As it gets 0.14 = (1/7) i.e more than 0.09 ryes per shoes

'10 ryes per shoes' is gaining trade ratio for:

  • Portugal : As it gets 10 i.e more than 3 pairs of ryes per shoes
  • Sweden : As it gets 0.10 = (1/10) i.e more than 0.09 ryes per shoes

Which of the following sentences express correct number style?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: a. The professional software package included Web 2.0 applications, but it cost more than $1,200.

Explanation:

A simple rule for writing a correct number style is that when writing numbers between 1 - 9 ( single digits numbers), you should spell them out. When writing anything larger however or if writing multiple numbers, you should write them as numerals.

This convention can be typically broken every now and then in certain cases. One of those cases is that, if you have a situation where you have 2 numbers in a sentence, you have to use one style for it and if the 2 numbers consist of 1 small number and 1 large number you would preferably have to use numerals.

For this reason Option A which has two numbers written as numerals is correct.

It is worthy of note however, that different styles exist as do Citation Styles and this answer is based on the most rudimentary of said styles.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

amount of taxable interest income that Karen report for 2018 = 0

Amortization per year = $100

Adjusted basis  = $ 10,900

Explanation:

given data

face value = $10,000

purchased the bond = $11,000

interest rate = 4%

solution

we know here that City of Richmond bonds that is tax exempted

so that amount of taxable interest income that Karen report for 2018 = 0

and

as Premium on the bond is

Premium on the bond = purchased the bond - face value

Premium on the bond  = 11,000 - 10,000 = 1,000

and here time Period = 10 years  ( January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2027 )

so Amortization per year is

Amortization per year = \frac{1000}{10}

Amortization per year = $100

so

Adjusted basis will be = Purchase price - Premium amortized

Adjusted basis = 11,000 - 100

Adjusted basis  = $ 10,900
