Answer:
The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.
Explanation:
It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.
It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.
On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.
The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.

Answer:
Yanta Co. has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk than Diz Co.
The reason is that Yanta Co. does not have net inflows of euros. Instead, its euro transactions yield net outflows.
It will always be in need of euros to settle its foreign debts or obligations, unlike Diz Co. with foreign assets.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Diz Co. has net cash inflows of euros and net cash inflows of swiss francs
Yanta Co. has net cash outflows of euros and net cash inflows of swiss francs
b) Exposure to exchange rate risk or currency risk is the financial risk arising from fluctuations in the value of the US dollars against the Euro or Swiss Francs in which Diz Co. has some foreign assets while Yanta Co. has foreign obligations.
Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53
Explanation:
we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that
Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)
Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)
Expected return=0.06+ 0.12
Expected return=0.18
Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g to find the growth rate
Where Po= current price of stock at $50
D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year
R = Expected return = 0.18
50= 6/ 0.18-g
50(0.18-g) =6
9-50g=6
50g=9-6
g= 3/50
g=0.06 = 6%
Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.
Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g
= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06
=6+0.36/0.12
=6.36/0.12= $53
