Answer:

Norway

Explanation:

UK and Norway are producing two goods: Oil and shoes

UK's opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oil = 2 pairs of shoes

Norway's opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oil = 1/2 pair of shoes

Therefore,

Once trade is allowed among the trading nations, then a nation is exporting a commodity in which it has a comparative advantage and importing a commodity in which it has a comparative disadvantage.

Norway has a comparative advantage in producing oil because it has a lower opportunity of producing oil as compared to UK.

Hence,

Norway should produce oil.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Investment period = 24 years

Explanation:

The total amount that an investment made today would become  if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.

The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)

(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375

(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504

find the log of both sides

n log 1.06= log 4.048924504

n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06

n = 24

It will take 24 years

frez [133]

Answer:

d. $96,914

Explanation:

Parker Co. can execute money market hedge in following steps:

(1) Parker Co. pledges Receivable of SF200,000 to borrow SF190,476 with rate 5% in Switzerland; SF190,476 = SF200,000/ (1+5%)

so it has to pay interest expense of SF9,524 in 360 days. The receivable of SF200,000 is enough for both principal and interest in 360 days.

(2) Then it sells SF190,476 at spot rate $0.48 to get $91,428

(3) Then it deposits $91,428 in US with rate 6% to get back $96,914 in 360 days ; $96,914 = $91,428 * (1+6%)
