Answer:
If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Mary would specialize in making cakes while Tim would specialize in making pies.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mary's opportunity cost of making a cake = 2 pies
She can make additional 5 (10/2) cakes instead of making pies
This will increase her cakes to 25 a day (20 + 5)
Tim's opportunity cost of making a cake = 4 pies
She can make additional 40 pies (10 * 4) instead of making cakes
This will increase her pies to 60 pies a day (20 + 40)
When they specialize there will be 25 cakes and 60 pies produced in a day instead of 30 cakes and 30 pies.

Financial leverage
Explanation:
Financial leverage is defined as the use of borrowed funds to perform a business activity or investment that is expected to have higher returns than the cost of borrowing the money (interest).
When a company is looking for funds for its activities there are 3 options they can use: equity, debt, or lease.
Use of equity is the only option where no extra cost is incurred for use of funds.
When using debt or lease cost of use is incurred. The business will need to engage in an activity that will give it revenue above cost of debt.
This practice is called use of financial leverage.
