Answer: a). Spain

b). none

c). 2.4

Explanation: a). Absolute advantage occurs when a country produces more of a good than the other country. In this case, Spain produces 50 units of Tractors while, Bolivia produces only 30 units of Tractors. Thus, Since Spain is producing more it has an absolute advantage in Tractors.

b). Both the countries are producing equal units of Cotton. Thus, we can say that none of them has an absolute advantage in cotton production.

c. Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. When Spain produces Tractors it is sacrificing production of Cotton. So, opportunity cost on 1 unit of Tractor will be,

Opportunity cost = \frac{120}{50} =2.4

Thus, 2.4 units of cotton which is given up is the opportunity cost of Spain for producing 1 unit of Tractor.

Line graph labeled Business Cycle. Curve rises, falls, rises again, and begins to fall again. Point A marks top of first curve.
CaHeK987 [17]

The part of the business cycle given that shows a period of contraction is <u>Point B. </u>

<h3>Why does point B show contraction?</h3>

When the economy is in a period of contraction, the business cycle would show a fall from the peak to the trough.

The peak is point A and the trough is Point C. Point B shows the fall from A to C which means that Point B must be the contraction.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

Acort Industries owns assets that will have a 75% probability of having a market value of $52 million in one year. There is a 25
abruzzese [7]

Solution :

a). The current market value of the unlevered equity

   $=\frac{75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million}}{1+10 \%}$

   = $ 40.45 million

b). The market value of the equity one year from now is

  $=(75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million})- \$18 \ \text{million}$

  = $ 44.5 million - $ 18 million

  = $ 26.5 million

c). The expected return on the equity without the leverage = 10%

     The expected return on the equity with the leverage =   $=10\% +\frac{ \$22 \text{ million}}{\$ 26.5 \text{ million}}$

= 0.93 %

d). The lowest possible value of equity without the leverage = $20 million - $ 18 million

= $ 2 million

The lowest return on the equity without the leverage = 10%

The lowest return on the equity with the leverage = 2 % as the equity is eroded.
