Expected return = Sum of (Probability of state of economy * Return given state of economy)

= 4.48% + 3% - 0.57%

Explanation:
Industries dedicated to consumer service are those whose product is directed directly to a consumer, and not to a company.
The product they offer is a service, and not a material good.
These industries will have professionals or people specialized in the subject who will be in charge of offering and selling this product.
That is what we see in the examples.
The health industry will offer services dedicated to health, therefore it will have professionals dedicated to this field.
The legal industry will have services dedicated to legal issues such as a lawyer, a litigator, etc.
And the entertainment industry will be dedicated to shows, this is where actors, musicians or writers come in.
Answer:
C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.
Explanation:
<em>Comparative advantage</em> is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.
For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per <em>Comparative Advantage</em> concept.
Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per <em>Comparative Advantage </em>model.
Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.
<em> In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory</em>.
It is to be noted that <em>Absolute Advantage model </em>of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the <em>Comparative Advantage Model </em>developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.
