Answer:
balance of trade
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;
I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.
II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
In Economics, a balance of trade is a measure of the difference between merchandise imports and exports, as well as a country's international trade in goods. Thus, it's a measure of the difference between the monetary value of the import and export of goods of a country over a specific period of time.

Answer:
a; 3%
b; 1%
Explanation:
To answer the question, we proceed as follows; 
Firstly, we compute the rate of return: 
The rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM model:
 According to CAPM, 
Rate Of return RE = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
where, Rf = Risk free rate
Rm = Market return 
β = Risk co-efficient
RE = Cost of equity 
To find the rate of return, substitute 1% for risk free rate, 1.50% for market return and 2 for beta. 
Applying the CAPM model, we get;
 Rate of return = 0.01 + 2(0.015 - 0.01)
= 0.02 or simply 2%
Its firm's return due to the lawsuit is $1 million per $100 million initial equity; this means the increase is 1%. 
Therefore, the total return should be ;
Total return = 1% + 2% = 3%
If the settlement was expected to be $2 million and the actual settlement has a loss of $1 million, then the firm-specific return would be = 1% 
 Total return = 2% - 1%
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Explanation:
According to the Food and Drug Administration, "...the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from these devices [sunlamps and tanning beds] poses serious health risks." As a result of reading this, the local mayor decides to introduce legislation that will put a 10% excise tax on tanning consumers. From an economic point of view, this will________
A. shift the demand curve rightward for tanning.

The local mayor decides to introduce legislation that will put a 10% excise tax on tanning consumers in order to lower the demand for these devices
Consumer will now need to pay higher tax in addition to the price they will pay for the device, this is make people to tan less because of the extra cost. this will lead to a shift in the demand curve
