Answer:

b,c,d

Explanation:

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries

The opportunity cost of producing a computer for Mexico= 4/10 = 0.4

for Mexico to have a comparative advantage in the production of computers, its opportunity cost for producing computers has to be lower.

we would try each of the options to know which would yield the higher opportunity cost for US

3 / 8 = 0.375

3 / 5 = 0,6

3/2 = 1.5

3 / 6 = 0.5

5, 2 AND 6 would give Mexico the comparative advantage

Friendly’s Quick Loans, Inc., offers you $8.25 today but you must repay $10.45 when you get your paycheck in one week (or else).
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1,386.67%

Explanation:

Loan Amount = $8.25

Repayment Amount = $10.45

Hence,

Interest for a week = Repayment Amount - Loan Amount

                                = $10.45 - $8.25

                                = $2.2

Interest percentage for a week:

= \frac{Interest\ for\ a\ week}{Loan\ Amount}\times100

= \frac{2.2}{8.25}\times100

= 26.66% (approx)

Number of weeks in a year = 52

Therefore,

Effective annual return:

=  Interest percentage for a week ×  Number of weeks in a year

= 26.66% × 52

= 1,386.67%

Hence,  effective annual return Friendly’s earns on this lending business is 1,386.67% .

APR you are paying 1,386.67%.

2. Why might an investor choose to become a partner in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock of an open corporation? If an investor decided to join in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock on an open corporation they would have less to do with the business side as they would in an open corporation. When an investor joins in a limited partnership they have less management responsibility and little to no liability besides their initial investment.

3. Is growth a good thing for all firms? How does management know when a firm is ready to grow? Growth is not a good thing for all firms. Depending on what a company is looking to achieve long term, the financial assets they have now to achieve their growth and other goals are all subject to what the company is able to do with the finances and staffing they have. When a corporation is trying to decide whether or not they should grow, management will examine all aspects of the company to make sure they align with the growth plan.

4. If you were to start a business, which ownership form would you choose? What factors might affect your choice? If I were to start a business, I would probably choose a limited liability company (LLC) as the ownership form and structure. An LLC is where the members within the company are not held personally liable for the company’s debts or liabilities. Think ownership form works well if you were to join forces an open up a business with a friend or family member. An LLC keeps the tax side of the business easier as allowing the individuals to be self-proprietors. When considering factors that may change this decision they would include: who I am going in business with, what I am in business for, my end goals, current goals and current financial status. </span>

Tems11 [23]

Answer: A.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,500

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that according to the Federal Housing Finance Board, the mean price of a single-family home two years ago was $299,500 and that a real estate broker believes that due to recent credit crunch, the mean price has increased since then and the result is that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The conclusion based on the results of the test is that since the null hypothesis has been rejected, it simply means that there are sufficient evidence that there has been an increase in the mean price since two years ago.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Supply refers to the quantities of goods or services that firms are willing to sell to the markets are a specific price. As per the law of supply, an increase in prices leads to an increase in the quantity supplied. Therefore, the relationship between the price and quantity supplied is direct. Firms prefer to supply more products to the markets at higher prices because they will make more profits.

The supply curve is a graphical presentation of the relationship between price and quantity supplied.  The supply curve is upward sloping. It originates from the bottom left corner, showing how quantities vary along the curve at different prices. Quantity supplied increases as the price rise.
