Answer:

d)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of coffee is 4 lbs. of bananas for Oscar.

Explanation:

a)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of bananas is 4 lbs. of coffee for Oscar.

In order to produce 64 pounds of banana, Oscar has to give up producing 16 pounds of coffee, his opportunity cost is:

C= \frac{16}{64}= 0.25

The statement is false.

b)Oscar has absolute advantage in the production of coffee.

Julia has a higher production capacity for coffee (20 pounds to 16 pounds) and therefore has the absolute advantage.

The statement is false.

c)Julia has comparative advantage in the production of bananas.

Julia has a higher opportunity cost for producing a pound of bananas (0.5 pounds of coffee to 0.25 pounds of coffee) and therefore does not have the comparative advantage.

The statement is false.

d)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of coffee is 4 lbs. of bananas for Oscar.

In order to produce 16 pounds of coffee, Oscar has to give up producing 64 pounds of banana, his opportunity cost is:

C= \frac{64}{16}= 4

The statement is true.

The price quotations of Treasury bonds in the Wall Street Journal show an ask price of 104.25 and a bid price of 104.125.
Andreas93 [3]

As a seller we would receive $1,041.25

<u>Solution:</u>

You may receive the bid price of the dealer, 104.125\% of $1,000, or $1,041.25

Prices of treasury bonds are expressed as par value amounts.  

The quote price of 104:25 means that the bond is priced at (104 + \frac{25}{100})\%= 104.25\% of the par value.  

Therefore, if the debt is $1,000, the dollar values to be charged by the borrower should be 1,000\times104.25\% = \$1,041.25

Computation of net income and net profit margin

Revenues   ( $   900 + $ 1,700 )                                                     $ 2,600    

Expenses ($ 200 + $ 1,200 + $ 100 )                                             <u>$ 1,500</u>

Net Income                                                                                      $ 1,100    

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenues
