Answer:
$9230.70
Explanation:
Debt ratio = Debt equity ratio / (Debt equity ratio+1) = 0.46/(0.46+1) = 0.46/1.46
Equity ratio = 1/(Debt equity ratio+1) = 1/(0.46+1) = 1/1.46
WACC = 15.4%×1/1.46+8.9%×(1-21%)×0.46/1.46 = 12.76%
Net present value = 20000/(1+12.76%) + 30000/(1+12.76%)^2 + 40000/(1+12.76%)^3 - 60000 = $9230.70
Answer:
C) The theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
The theory of Comparative Advantage is a theory of international trade and it comes into effect in a situation where the <u>opportunity cost of producing a good or offering by a service by a country is lower than that of other countries. </u>
Specifically, to understand the theory of comparative advantage the opportunity cost of production or offering a service has to be measured in terms of the trade off between those countries. It simply means when a country has the comparative advantage then it derives more benefits from other countries buying its products as compared to buying their products and vice versa.
In the question, the European Union has the Comparative advantage over South Africa because the trade-off between buying South Africa's edible fruits and nuts and selling other products to South Africa benefits the European countries.
European countries derive more benefits because South Africa buys their goods at a cost higher than it takes them to produce while they buy at the normal cost from South Africa. The <u>trade-off benefits Europe </u>
Answer:
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
Market failure is the situation of economic which is described as the inefficient distribution of the goods and services in the free market. Under this the incentives of the individual for rational behavior does not lead to the rational outcomes for the group of people.
The market failure occurs because of negative as well as positive externalities, lack of public goods, abuse of the monopoly power, environmental concerns, under provision of merit goods and over provision of demerit goods.
So, from the above options, the cause of the market failure involve the market power and the externalities.
Trade restrictions tend to preserve relatively few jobs in the protected industries and lead to job losses in other industries. Trade restrictions can vary from quotas, embargoes, standards, subsidies, tariffs and more that make it hard to trade (important/export) goods between two companies and also set prices for these. Depending on what is allowed and what is not different industries can benefit from the trade restrictions and some can be harmed by them.
