while rice grows best on flat land. Suppose each nation decides to specialize in the most suitable​ crop, and trade with the other nation for the other product. Discuss the​ trade-offs: who​ wins, who​ loses, and how long do the losses​ persist?

Answer:

Both Hillyland and Flatland will be better off in a win-win solution if they engage in comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Suppose each nation decides to specialize in the most suitable​ crop, and trade with the other nation for the other product, the trade-offs will be the products they supposedly can produce but do not have comparative advantage in. For Hillyland it will be rice and for Flatland it will be coffee.

When both nations practice comparative advantage there will be no losers because economic theory suggests that, when countries practice comparative advantage, the sum total of their combined output will be greater than if they had produced all products themselves because they wanted to be self sufficient.

The logic is simple, goods are less costly to produce in a country that has comparative advantage and at the end they could be sold cheaper to the country that traded it off.

Suppose that an investor is considering three alternative strategies: conservative, neutral, or aggressive. If economic conditio
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer is: Following the expected value criterion the investor should choose indistinctively between the conservative or neutral alternatives.

Explanation:

The formula we use to calculate the expected return value of the different alternatives is:

            ERV = ∑ (expected return x probability of occurrence)

The conservative alternative has an expected return value of of 4.5%

ERV Conservative = (6% x 25%) + (4% x 75%) = 4.5%

The neutral alternative also has an expected return value of of 4.5%

ERV Neutral = (12% x 25%) + (4% x 75%) = 4.5%

The aggressive alternative has an expected return value of of -1%

ERV Aggressive = (20% x 25%) + (-8% x 75%) = -1%

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change:   -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of  the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

<em><u>For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity</u></em>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $187.3546

<u><em>For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:</em></u>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV  

PV   761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity  $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\

PV $657.5166

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   40.00

rate  0.0465

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV  

PV   162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m  $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%

Damm [24]

answer :

a) Federal income tax withheld

 = 75.6 + ( 1989.60 - 944 )*15%  = $232.44

b) social security

 6% * 1989.6 = $119.38

c) Medicare

1.45% * 1989.6 = $28.85

Explanation:

For a single individual

Two withholding allowance = $329.20 * 2  = $658.40

Gross Pay = $2648

withholding allowance = $658.40

Subject to withholding = $2648 - $658.40 = $1989.60

a) Federal income tax withheld

 = 75.6 + ( 1989.60 - 944 )*15%  = $232.44

b) social security

 6% * 1989.6 = $119.38

c) Medicare

1.45% * 1989.6 = $28.85
