Explanation:
Answer:
b. there are no gains from specialization and trade between the two countries.
Explanation:
If the two countries are producing goods with the same opportunity cost, then there is no need or advantage gained from the trade of goods between these two countries.
Usually, countries trade with each other if one has a comparative advantage of producing one good over the other trading country. Then in this case is can specialize in making that good and trade the excess to the other country.
However, in the case when two countries are producing apples and oranges. And opportunity cost producing orange for country 1 is one apple and same for country 2
Opportunity cost for Country 1 : 1 Apple = 1 Orange
Opportunity cost for Country 2 : 1 Apple = 1 Orange
Then countries will gain no additional benefit from specializing in one good.
<span>Brian should create a monthly budget using the income from each month. He should multiply his weekly income in a given month by four, to account for four weeks. This should provide him with a reasonable estimate of what his income will be for the month.

Answer:
Rate of return = 6.64%
Explanation:
Annual coupon rate = 7.5% = 0.075
Face value = 1,000
Coupon payment = 1,000*0.075 = 75
YTM = 8%
Years = 20
Price of the bond = PV(8%, 20, 75, 7.5%)
Price of the bond = $950.91
Rate of return = Selling price + Coupon payment received - Purchase price / Purchase price
Rate of return = $939.05 + $75 - $950.91 / $950.91
Rate of return = $63.14 / $950.91
Rate of return = 0.0663996
Rate of return = 6.64%
