Answer:

By producing a product with a lower opportunity cost

Explanation:

Given that the law of comparative advantage states that a nation is better off when it produces goods and services for which it has a comparative advantage.

To obtain a comparative advantage means "By producing a product with a lower opportunity cost."

This implies that while many nations can produce the same products, a particular nation will have the comparative advantage over other nations if its opportunity cost of producing that specific product is quite lower compared to other nations that ks capable of producing the same product.

A benchmark market value index is comprised of three stocks. yesterday the three stocks were priced at $12, $20, and $60. the nu
Olenka [21]

Answer: The one day rate of return on the stock is 1.49%

We arrive at the answer in the following manner:

First we need to calculate yesterday's and today's index values.

For that we need to find weights of each day based on market capitalization.

Market Capitalization _{ a stock} = Market Price * No .of outstanding shares

The weight of a company in the index is calculated by dividing the market capitalization  of a company by the total market capitalization of all the companies whose shares are a part of the index.

Weight_{Company A} =\frac{Mkt Cap of company A}{Total Market cap}

Then, we multiply the share price of each company with their respective weights and find the total to arrive at the index value for one day.

<u>Yesterday's Index Value</u>

Stock        Price         No. of shares      Mkt Cap  Weight  Weight*Price

A               12               600000        7200000      0.25      2.96 (0.25*12)    

B               20               500000       10000000    0.34      6.85(0.34*20)

C               60               200000       <u>12000000</u>     <u>0.41</u>      <u>24.66  </u>(0.41*60)

Total                                                 29200000     1.00      34.47

We calculate the weight for stock A as follows:

Weight_{A} =\frac{72,00,000}{2,92,00,000} = 0.2466 = 0.25

We calculate the weights of the remaining stocks in a similar manner.

Please note that the sum total of all weights must add up to 1.

The sum total of the last column (Price * Weight) is yesterday's index value.

We repeat the same steps with today's market price to arrive at today's index value.

<u>Today's index Value</u>

Stock        Price   No. of shares       Mkt Cap     Weight    Weight*Price

A               16               600000       96,00,000     0.31        4.95 (0.31*16)    

B               18               500000       90,00,000     0.29       5.23  (0.29*18)

C               62               200000    <u>1,24,00,000</u>     <u>0.40</u>     <u>24.80</u>(0.40*62)

Total                                                3,10,00,000     1.00     34.98

<u>One-day Rate of Return</u>

We can calculate the one day rate of return on the index as follows:

Rate of return = [\frac{(Today's index value - Yesterday's index value}{Yesterday's index value}) * 100

Rate of Return = ( \frac{34.98 - 34.47}{34.47}) * 100

Rate of return = (\frac{0.51}{34.47}) *100

Rate of return = 0.01494 or 1.49%

You notice that when customers have too many choices, they are less likely to make a decision about what to buy, so you tell all
grin007 [14]

Answer:

This statement falls under Classical Management Theory

Explanation:

In this case, managers want to help customers in making their choices easy and simple for them. Yes, its very much true that too many choices create ambiguity, it becomes very hard for the customers to choose from overload of choices, that's the reason Apple only came with one phone model, iPhone. Furthermore, managers want employees to help customers, therefore, they have linked their motivation directly with the incentives and commissions, which directly falls under the classical management theory, which says that employees have certain economic and physical needs which they have to meet and fulfill. Moreover, classical management theory also helps us in the areas of leadership, specialization of labor, profits, and decision making. Here managers want to streamline their operations as well, which is also another feature of management theory.
