Answer:
4/11 and 6/15 dressers.
Explanation:
Absolute advantage is the ability of a country to produce more of a product given the same resources than another country per unit time. It also applies when a country is able to produce same amount of goods with another country given less inputs.
So a country that produces more goods uses a more efficient process to get more output.
In this scenario a worker in Peru can produce 11 lamps or 4 dressers in a day and a worker in Canada can produce 15 lamps or 6 dressers in a day. Canada has absolute advantage in producing lamps and dressers, so importing these items will not be beneficial.
To get a balance where both countries will benefit a lamp will have to go for a ratio of each countrie's product to the opportunity cost.
That is for Peru to produce 4 dressers it will have opportunity cost of 11 lamps. So the ratio is 4/11.
Also for Canada to produce 6 dressers it will have opportunity cost of 15 lamps. So the ratio is 6/15.
Lamp should trade for between 4/11 to 6/15 dressers for both countries to benefit.
Answer:
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the market risk premium
We will first calculate the market risk premium using the required rate of return for stock, beta and risk free rate and plugging these values in the formula above.
0.1330 = 0.058 + 1.64 * rpM
0.1330 - 0.058 = 1.64 *rpM
0.075 = 1.64 * rpM
rpM = 0.075 / 1.64
rpM = 0.04573 or 4.573%
As we know that the beta for market is always equal to 1, we can calculate the rate of return for market as,
expected return on market = 0.058 + 1 * 0.04573
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
