b. beef and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
c. both goods and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of neither good.
d. neither good and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of both goods.
Answer:
B, beef and Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's define comparative advantage.
Comparative advantage can be said to be the ability to produce a product at a far lesser rate than is obtainable.
From the above question, it can be deduced that Theresa has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat going by the huge difference in the time needed to produce wheat.
On the other hand, Brad has a comparative advantage in the production of beef. This is because the time difference in the production time of wheat isn't the same with beef and as such Brad has some advantage in this regard.
Cheers.

Answer:
€928.46
Explanation:
Since it was hinted that bonds issued outside of the United States pay coupons annually, it is expected that the bonds issued in Germany pay annual coupons, and its price is computed below using the bond price formula, excel PV function, and financial calculator:
Bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+annual coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
face value=€1,000
r=yield to maturity=8.7%
n=number of annual coupons in 10 years=10
annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=€1,000*7.6%=€76
bond price=1000/(1+8.7%)^10+76*(1-(1+8.7%)^-10/8.7%
bond price=1000/(1.087)^10+76*(1-(1.087)^-10/0.087
bond price=1000/2.30300797+76*(1-0.43421474)/0.087
bond price=1000/2.30300797+76*0.56578526/0.087
bond price= 434.21+494.25= €928.46
Excel PV function:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
=-pv(8.7%,10,76,1000)
pv=€928.46
Financial calculator:
N=10
PMT=76
I/Y=8.7
FV=1000
CPT PV=€928.46
Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Level of trade is simply calculated as the percentage of export of a particular country to its share of the gross domestic product.
Based on the scenario given in the question, the level of trade will be:
= (Exports / GDP) × 100
= 50/200 × 100.
= 1/4 × 100
= 25%
