Answer:

Comparative advantage

Explanation:

The basic method to choose a country to trade with is to have a comparative advantage in products. When a country has a comparative advantage it helps to attain certain goods which are not produced domestically, and to export goods which are not produced in the other country. A comparative advantage helps to export goods and services at lower prices and better quality to attain the maximum market share in the exporting country.

finlep [7]

Answer:

9.68%

Explanation:

yield to maturity (YTM) = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

face value = $1,000

market value = $1,000 x 0.98 = $980

n = (13 - 2) x 2 = 22

coupon = $1,000 x 0.094 x 1/2 = $47

YTM = {$47 + [($1,000 - $980) / 22]} / [($1,000 + $980) / 2] = $47.9090 / $990 = 0.4839 x 2 (annual rate) = 0.09678 = 9.68%

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The actual effective annual rate is <u>3.33%</u>.

Explanation:

Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to an interest rate has been adjusted for compounding over specified period of time.

Effective annual rate can therefore be described as the interest rate that paid to an investor in a year after compounding has been adjusted for.

Effective annual rate can be computed using the following formula:

EAR = [(1 + (i / n))^n] - 1 .............................(1)

Where;

i = Annual interest rate claimed by the dealer = 3.28%, or 0.0328

n = Number of compounding periods or months = 12

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

EAR = [(1 + (0.0328 / 12))^12] - 1 = 0.0332976137123635

EAR = 0.0333, or 3.33% approximately.

Therefore, the actual effective annual rate is <u>3.33%</u>.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Rp = 3% + BP1 * 10.42% + BP2 * 6.1%

Explanation:

Portfolio A:

R_p = R_f + Beta1*Factor1 + Beta2*Factor2

32% = 3% + 1.6*F1 + 2*F2

Portfolio B

29% = 3% + 2.6*F1 - 0.2*F2

Solvig the equatios

3% = -F1 + 2.2*F2

F1 = 2.2F2 - 3%

F1 = 2.2F2 - 0.03

Substituting

29% = 3% + 2.6*(2.2F2 - 0.03) - 0.2F2

29% = 3% + 5.72F2 - 0.078 - 0.2F2

5.52F2 = 29% - 3% +0.078

5.52F2 = 0.26 +0.078

5.52F2= 0.338

F2 = 0.338/5.52 = 0.061

F1 = 2.2F2 - 0.03 = 2.2(0.061) - 0.03

= 0.1042

The return Beta relationship in this economy Rp = 3% + BP1 * 10.42% + BP2 * 6.1%

Wendell’s Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $40,000 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the com

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

initial outlay $40,000

savings per year = $5,200

additional contribution margin = 2,000 x $2.40 = $4,800

machines useful life = 6 years

1) total annual cash flows (assuming no residual value)

Year₀ = -$40,000

Year₁ = $5,200 + $4,800 = $10,000

Year₂ = $10,000

Year₃ = $10,000

Year₄ = $10,000

Year₅ = $10,000

Year₆ = $10,000

2) to determine IRR we can use a financial calculator or the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = annual payment x annuity factor

PV = $40,000

annual payment = $10,000

annuity factor = $40,000 / $10,000 = 4

3) using present value of an annuity table:

we have 6 periods, and we must look for an interest rate that results in an annuity factor of 4 = 13% (the exact annuity factor is 3.998)

using a financial calculator, the IRR = 12.98%, which we can round to 13%

4) the cash flows will be:

Year₀ = -$40,000

Year₁ = $10,000

Year₂ = $10,000

Year₃ = $10,000

Year₄ = $10,000

Year₅ = $10,000

Year₆ = $20,515

We cannot use the annuity formula now because our annuities are not equal. Using a financial calculator, IRR = 16.99%
