Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Neither Italy or New Zealand.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the ability of an individual or organization to manufacture its products at a lower opportunity cost than its competitors. The scenario does not imply the individual has an absolute advantage. It actually means it sacrifices less to achieve that goal.

Thus, <em>Portugal has a lower opportunity cost than Italy in producing a bottle of wine. Portugal's opportunity cost is 1/2 while Italy's opportunity cost is 2. Neither Italy or New Zealand (or any other country not mentioned in the example) has a comparative advantage in producing wine</em>.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

5.62%

13.75%

Explanation:

According to the DDM method,

the value of a stock = [dividend x ( 1 + growth rate)] / [cost of equity - growth rate]

67 = 0.4(1.05) / r - 0.05

multiply both sides of the equation by r -0.05

67(r - 0.05) = 0.42

divide both sides of the equation by 67

r - 0.05 = 0.006269

r = 0.0563

= 5.63%

b. the cost of equity using the capm method =

risk free rate of return + beta x ( expected return - risk free return)

5% + 1.25 x (12 - 5) = 13.75%

Volgvan

Answer: No. It does not violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage and that the pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a calling from God.

Based on the scenario, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave. According to the court, when an employee says that based on his or her religious belief, he or she is required to go to a pilgrimage, the person has to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

In this case, her church which is the Roman Catholic didn't call for a pilgrimage as it was her personal choice. Therefore, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.
