Answer:

C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.

For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per Comparative Advantage concept.

Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per Comparative Advantage model.

Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.

In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory.

It is to be noted that Absolute Advantage model of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the Comparative Advantage Model developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.

Airborne Airlines Inc. has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 10 years to maturity. The bond carries an annual interest pa

yanalaym [24]

Answer:Yield to maturity is 9.59%; After tax cost of debt =7.672%

Explanation:

A) Yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}

Where C – Interest payment = $90

FV – Face value of the security

= $1000

PV – Present value/curent market value = $960

t – years it takes the security to reach maturity= 10 years

imputing the values and calculating,

yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}

= $90 + (1000-960)/10} / 1000 + 960 /2

$90 + 4= $94 /980= 0.0959

therefore Yield to maturity is 9.59%

B) After tax cost of debt = Yield To Maturity x (1 - tax rate)

=9.59% x (1-20%)= 9.59% x (1-0.2 )= 9.59% x 0.8 =

9.59 % x 80%=7.672%

Llana [10]

The correct answer would be option A, Change Agent.

After making the change in design, the pumps became lightweight and were better able to meet customers' requirements. As the Change Agent, Martin identified an opportunity, saw the project from its conception to the development of a light model pump.

Explanation:

A person who brings about change in the organization, or who influences or forces to make a change in the product or organization like organizational effectiveness, improvement or development, then this person is called as a Change Agent.

A Change agent is a person who can be from within the organization or can be from outside of the organization.
