In simpler terms, the theory of comparative advantage refers to the possibility of one given economic actor to produce the same good which is of the same size and quality. This becomes a force behind trade because there are specific materials that are found in specific area in the Philippines only.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The rate of return on the investment if the price fall by 7% next year is -22% which is shown below.

The price of Telecom would have to fall by $71.43($250-$178.57), before a margin call could be placed.

Lastly,if the price fall immediately,the margin price would $178.57 as shown below

Explanation:

Total shares bought=$40000/$250=160 shares

Interest on amount borrowed=8%*$20000=$1600

When the price falls by 7% the new price =$250(1-0.07)=$232.50

Hence rate of return=(New price*number of shares-Interest-total investment)/initial investor's funds

=($232.50*160-$40000-$1600)/$20000=-22%

Initial margin=investor's money/total investment=$20000/$40000=50%

maintenance  margin=30%

Margin call price=Current price x (1- initial margin)/ (1- maintenance margin)

                           =$250*(1-0.5)/(1-0.3)

                           =$178.57

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

77.48 units

Explanation:

Data provided in the questions

Annual demand = 395 units

Ordering cost = $38

Holding cost per unit per year = $5

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{395}\times \text{\$38}}{\text{\$5}}}

= 77.48 units

hence, the economic order quantity is 77.48 units

We simply applied the above formula so that approximate units could come. And it always expressed in units

Suppose that demand decreases and supply decreases. What would you expect to occur in the market for the good? a. Equilibrium pr
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

c. Equilibrium quantity would decrease, but the impact on equilibrium price would be ambiguous.

Explanation:

When the demand decreases along with the decrease in supply, obviously the equilibrium quantity will also decrease, to match the level of supply and demand.

But the price cannot be fairly estimated as because the supply is decreased the prices shall increase for equilibrium but as the demand has also decreased the prices shall decrease in order to match the equilibrium.

Thus, the price is ambiguous but definitely the quantity shall stand decreased for equilibrium.
