Answer:

Portugal and Austria

Comparative Advantage in the Production of Beer and Cheese:

1a. Portugal

b. Austria

2. a. 3 barrels and

b. 0.09 or 1/11 pounds

3.  A. 4 barrels of beer per pound of cheese

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 3 barrels of beer

Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 11 barrels of beer

Price of trade (cheese in terms of beer) = 11/3 = 3.667 = 4

b) Portugal's comparative advantage over the production of cheese is her economy's ability to produce cheese at a lower opportunity cost than Austria.  This comparative advantage gives Portugal the ability to sell cheese at a lower price than Austria and realize a more favorable balance of trade.

According to Robert Merton, Anomie occurs when individuals feel social and psychological strain due to a lack of acceptable means for achieving success.

Explanation:

The American sociologist named Robert King Merton. He worked most of his profession at Columbia University where he graduated as a professor of the University.

Anomie is "the state that society gives persons no moral guidance" .

Conflicts between values and social linkages between an individual and the group will contribute to anomia.

Goals can become so relevant that illegal means can be used if the institutionalised means — that is to say, appropriate in compliance to social standards — collapsed. Stronger emphasis on results than means produces a tension that leads to a deterioration of the regulatory structure–that is to say, anomie.

jeka57 [31]

First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.

Komok [63]

Answer:

correct option is c. $2.51

Explanation:

given data

strike price of $30 = $2

underlying stock price = $29

dividend = $0.50

risk-free rate = 10%

solution

we use here pit call parity  that is

c - p = s - k e^{-rt} -D    .....................1

S is current price and c is call premium and r is rate and t is time

so price of put p will be

p = c-s + k e^{-rt} + D

put here value and we get

p  = 2 -29 + 30  e^{-0.1*0.5} + 0.5  e^{-0.1*2/12}  + 0.5 e^{-0.1*5/12}

p  = 2.508

p = $2.51

so correct option is c. $2.51
