Answer:
The statement is true, as it is an example of foreign direct investment.
Explanation:
Foreign direct investment is the direct investment by individuals or legal persons in production or business operations abroad. In this context, investments include both acquisition of foreign operations and expansion of own operations.
Foreign direct investment does not include the purchase of either shares or bonds per se. More specifically, the IMF has restricted direct investment on acquisitions to cases where the foreign investor owns 10% or more of the shares that give administrative rights in the business. Investment funds that can be classified as foreign direct investments therefore include equity deposits, reinvestments of dividends from the business, as well as the allocation of short-term and long-term loans between parent companies and subsidiaries.
Answer:
C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.
Explanation:
<em>Comparative advantage</em> is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.
For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per <em>Comparative Advantage</em> concept.
Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per <em>Comparative Advantage </em>model.
Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.
<em> In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory</em>.
It is to be noted that <em>Absolute Advantage model </em>of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the <em>Comparative Advantage Model </em>developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.

Answer:
b. 20
Explanation:
For 5 flights per month
Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee
Total Cost = (5 X 10000) + 20,000 = $70,000
For 6 flights per month
Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee
Total Cost = (6 X 10000) + 20,000 = $80,000
Additional Cost for 6th flight = $80000-70,000 = $10,000
Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = Additional cost / Ticket price per seat
Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = $10,000 / $500 = 20 seats passengers.

<em>You didn´t post the complete information of the exercise, I searched the exercise online and tried to ask the most useful question.</em>
Explanation:
a) current margin = Sale price - Cost
= $42 - $28 = $14 per unit
(b) Selling price if margin is 49%
= Cost / (1-0.49)
= 28 / 0.51
= $55
Profit = 55*49% = 227
(c) Price to consumer = Selling price / (1-0.1)
= 55/ 0.9
= $61.1
(d) Price to Consumer = Selling price from Chengg + Margin
= 61 + 10 = $71
