Answer:
.a. import sweaters from Britain and export machinery to Britain.
Explanation:
A lower opportunity cost of manufacturing a particular goods means that a country uses fewer inputs in production compared to other nations.  The country can produce more quantities of the product using similar factors of production. A lower opportunity cost in manufacturing will make a country's output cheaper compared to when that product is manufactured in other nations.
Varying production costs form the basis of international trade. A County imports commodities that are produced cheaply elsewhere and exports the goods it can manufacture at a lower cost. The united states can produce machinery at a lower cost than Britain.  Britain will be prudent to import machinery from the united states rather than produce.  Britain produces sweaters using fewer inputs that the US. The US will find importing  sweaters from Britain more economical compared to manufacturing.  
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the part.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $138,000, which includes fixed costs of $68,000 and variable costs of $70,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3.50 per unit and avoid 30% of the fixed costs.
<u>The cost of making the part is $138,000. That will be the cost in the income statement. </u>
We can calculate the effect on income if they buy the part.
Buy:
Selling pirce= 3.5
Savings in fixed costs= (0.3*70,000)= 21,000
Total cost= 3.5*40,000 + 70,000 - 21,000= $189,000
It is cheaper to make the part.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$936.17
Explanation:
The current market price of the bond = present value of all coupon received + present value of face value on maturity date
The discount rate in all calculation is YTM (6.12%), and its semiannual rate is 3.06%
Coupon to received semiannual = 5.3%/2*$1000= $26.5
We can either calculate PV manually or use formula PV in excel to calculate present value:
<u>Manually:</u>
PV of  all coupon received semiannual = 26.5/(1+3.06)^1 + 26.5/(1+3.06)^2....+ 26.5/(1+3.06)^24 = $445.9
PV of of face value on maturity date = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27
<u>In excel:</u>
PV of  all coupon received semiannual =  PV(3.06%,24,-$26.5) = $445.9
PV of of face value on maturity date = PV(6.12%,12,-$1000) = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27
The current market price of the bond  = $445.9 + $490.27 = $936.17
Please excel calculation attached
