Answer:

a. 3.56%

b. 2.31%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Present value = $1,040

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20

NPER = 11 years × 2 = 22 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this,

1. The pretax cost of debt is = 2 × 1.78% = 3.56%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 3.56% × ( 1 - 0.35)

= 2.31%

Scenario 10 Suppose that in Country A, one worker per day can produce either 120 units of food or 50 units of capital goods; whi
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1) country A has a comparative advantage in production of capital goods.

2) for country A 24 units of food can be traded for 10 units of capital goods,

for country B 30 units of food can be traded for 10 units of capital goods.

Explanation:

country A has a comparative advantage in production of capital goods because they have been able to produce more capital goods with the same amount of input (worker) than country B.

For country A, 120 units of food = 50 units of capital goods, therefore

10 units of capital good will be traded for (120 x 10)/50 = 24 units of food.

for country B 90 units of food is equivalent to 30 units of capital goods, therefore,

(90 x 10)/30 = 30 units of food

rosijanka [135]

Answer: A. Alaska auctions a limited number of licenses to harvest king crab.

Explanation:

The options include:

A. Alaska auctions a limited number of licenses to harvest king crab.

B. The U.S. and Canadian governments remove trade barriers, which allows for more trade of products like king crab.

C. Alaska removes taxes on diesel fuel, which lowers the price of diesel.

D. Alaska subsidizes the purchase of crab boats.

The socially optimal level of output will be achieved when there's allocative efficiency. It is the level whereby market failure is curtailed.

The policy choice that might produce the socially optimal king crab harvest is for Alaska to auction a limited number of licenses to harvest king crab.

This will help in the reduction at which the resource is overused as there'll be regulation and reduction in the number of person that can harvest king crab.
