The immediate consequence of the Reconquista was the conquest of all remaining Muslim political polities and their entailing territories by Spanish Roman Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. Subsequently, Spain became increasingly potent as a dominant world military, naval and colonial power.
Muslims had been living on the Iberian Peninsula since 711 A.D. and interactions between the major religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, while sometimes violent and intolerant, had also been both culturally and intellectually productive. But by the 15th century, much of the peninsula had been re-conquered by Catholic forces, leaving the relatively weak and often fractured Nasrid state of Grenada as the only remaining Muslim polity. By 1492, that too had been vanquished, leaving Isabella and Ferdinand with virtually unquestioned dominion.
While the events of 1492 eventually helped to further unite Spain under a single ethno-religious identity, it also meant disaster for members of those minority religions previously protected under Muslim rule and then, to varying degrees, under Christian rule as well. Most importantly, 1492 marked the dramatic expulsion of all remaining Spanish Jews, the Sephardim, who were robbed of most their property and given the choice of either leaving or death.
With the religious zeal fostered by the Reconquista, Spain's monarchy zealously embarked on continued exploration and colonization projects, beginning with the Columbus expedition financed in 1492. Subsequent territorial acquisitions captured most of South and Central America for Spain, along with their raw materials and precious metals. The latter, in particular, ultimately made early modern Spain wealthy.

Answer:
Benefits:
- Access to a larger market
- Increase in production of goods
Costs:
- Loss of jobs in developed countries
- Depletion of natural resources.
Explanation:
On the one hand, a global market means that a company or firm can potentially reach a larger market to sell its products and services. And in turn, make more profit. On the other hand, it also means that the competition is global and that a firm has to compete in this larger market with hundreds of firms. This often means that to be competitive, companies have to lower their costs. One easy way of doing that is by outsourcing or moving parts of their production process to countries with lower salaries. This leads to the loss of jobs in the home countries.
The increased competition and the larger market also mean that more goods are produced at a better price for the customer. However, this production can easily get out of hand and deplete natural resources.
