As seen in the chart B has the comparative advantage in coal because 1/3 > 1/5 It means they are better at producing coal than the U.S.Have in mind examples like:
U.S.
1 barrel of oil = 4 hrs
1 ton of coal = 5 hrs

B
1 barrel of oil = 7 hrs
1 ton of coal = 3 hrs
After seeing this we can say that the country which has more availability has a comparative advantage over other countries.
Hope this helps

Country B has the comparative advantage in coal because in 1 hour they can produce 1/3 ton of coal which is more than the US who produces 1/5 ton of coal in the same amount of time. I think that the country which has more availability will end up having the comparative advantage over the other countries. International trade is based on the comparative advantage and most developing Arabic countries have the availability of oil have the comparative advantage.

Suppose you've just inherited $10,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $10,000 in a non-interest-bear

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a. $800

b. $1,000

Explanation:

In this case, the opportunity cost of holding the money instead of buying a U.S. Treasury bond is determined as the yearly interest payed by the bond.

a. interest rate = 8%

The opportunity cost of keeping the $10,000 is:

$C = \$10,000*0.08 = \$800$

b. interest rate = 10%

The opportunity cost of keeping the $10,000 is:

$C = \$10,000*0.10 = \$1,000$

A company produces very unusual CD's for which the variable cost is $ 17 per CD and the fixed costs are $ 30000. They will sell

Alika [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let we assume the number of CD produced be X

So, the total cost would be

C = Fixed cost + variable cost × number of CD produced

= $30,000 + $17X

For total revenue, it would b

R = $63X

For total profit, it would be

P = Selling cost per CD × number of CD produced - variable cost per CD × number of CD produced - fixed cost

= $63X - $17X - $30,000

= $46X - $30,000

For number of CD, it would be

0 = $46X - $30,000

X = $30,000 ÷ $46

= 652 CD for break-even

Deployment Specialists pays a current (annual) dividend of $1 and is expected to grow at 22% for two years and then at 5% therea

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The value of the stock = $19.64

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model, the value of a stock is the present value of the expected future cash flows from the stock discounted at the the required rate of return.

Year Workings Present value(PV)

1 $1 × (1.22) × 1.11^(-1) = 1.10

2 $1 × (1.22)^2 ×(1.11)^(-2) = 1.21

3 $1 × ((1.22)^2 × (1.05))/0.11-0.05) = 21.35 ( PV in year 2 terms)

PV (in year 0) of Year 3 dividend = 21.35 × 1.11^(-2)

= 17.33 (see notes)

The value of the stock = $1.10+ $1.21 + 17.3

= $19.64

Notes:

Note the growth applied to year 3 dividend gives the PV in year 2 terms. So we need to re-discount again to year 0.

The value of the stock = $19.64
