Answer:
should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A should specialise in the production of beans and B should specialise in the production of rice
Answer:
$544.265
Explanation:
Given:
FV = $1,000
Yield to maturity = 5.2%
N = 12 years
Required:
Find the value of the zero coupon bond.
Use the formula:
PV = FV * PVIF(I/Y, N)
Thus,
PV = 1000 * PVIF(5.2%, 12)
= 1000 * 0.544265
= $544.265
The value of the zero coupon bond is $544.3
