Answer:

it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.

Explanation:

A country has comparative disadvantage in production if it produces at a higher opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

The country with a  comparative disadvantage can gain from trade by trading the good with a country that has  comparative advantage in the production of that good. i.e. the country produces at a lower opportunity cost

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 B has a comparative disadvantage in the production of beans and country A has a comparative disadvantage in the production of rice

Country B should buy beans from A and A should buy rice from B

A company wishes to raise $27 million by issuing 15-year semi-annual coupon bonds with face value of $1,000 and coupon rate of 6
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

We first need to find out the present value of each $1,000 bond and then we can figure out how many of these bonds we require to raise $27 million

The n of payments is 15*2 because semi annual payments for 15 years so our N will be 30

The YTM is 7.70/2 because of semi annual payments = 3.85

The Face value is of 1,000 so FV= 1,000

The payments our 1000*0.066=66 divided by 2 because semi annual payments so PMT= 33

We will put these values in a financial calculator to compute the PV of a $1000 bond.

PV= 903

So now we know that the company can get $903 for each $1,000 bond as the bonds present value is 903.

Now in order to find out how many bonds need to be issued to raise 27 million we will divide 27 million by 903, as 903 is the amount we can raise by issuing a single bond.

27,000,000/903=29,900.3 so 29,901

The company will have to issue 29,901 bonds of face value $1,000 to raise $27 million

A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Total debt ratio is 33.33%

Explanation:

A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,

Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000

A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,

Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2  = $100000

Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000

A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.

Total assets = total liabilities + total equity

Total assets = 500000 + 1000000

Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million

Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000

Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%
