Answer:

Profit is equal to $7000

Expected profit is equal to $1500

Explanation:

Number of shares = 1000

Undervalued amount = $11

Overvalued amount = $4

Profit received by both the stocks is equal to

Profit = shares ×undervalued amount - shares × overvalued amount

=1000\times 11-1000\times 4

=$7000

Expected profit is equal to

=\frac{1000}{2}\times 11-1000\times 4

= $1500

Bess [88]

Answer:  Dr. Bostwick was able to provide medical services that did not satisfy his own wants, so he exchanged those services for money that he used to buy things that did. Professor Boudreaux had money but desperately wanted a pediatric gastroenterologist to treat his son.

Explanation:

Trade generates value by transferring goods or services from those who value them less to the people who need them more. The only way people can decide to specialize in the making of a single good or service is because they already know they can trade it for other goods they do need.

In the video 'How the Division of Knowledge Saved My Son's Life', Professor Boudreaux explains that it was thanks to Dr. Bostwick specialization on pediatric gastroenterology that his son´s life was saved.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.

Explanation:

To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:

= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing

= $87 - $62 - $26

= -$1

Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".
