Answer:
d) a bond issued by the U.S. government
Explanation:
A bond issued by the US government will be expected to pay the lowest interest rate because the default risk is almost 0 with the US government which means that it is a risk free investment for the lender. The investor will be willing to lend money to US government at the lowest interest rate out of all the options because it is the safest investment therefore the investor's required rate of return is the lowest for US government.

The correct option is c. $8.
Explanation:
Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)
Where;
MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3
Price of Sprite = $1 per can
From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3
Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:
Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8
Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.

An economic agent should specialise in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage in its production.
An economic agent has a comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other economic agents.
Anne's opportunity cost in pie production = 4/3=1.33
Anne's opportunity cost in shirt production = 3/4 = 0.75
Mary's opportunity cost in pie production = 5/2 = 2.5
Mary's opportunity cost in shirt production = 2/5 = 0.4
Anne has a comparative advantage in the production of pies and Mary has a comparative advantage in the production of shirts.
Anne should specialise in pie production and Mary should specialise in shirt production.

Answer:
The correct answer is the difference between governance and management oversight.
Explanation:
In conflict and post-conflict situations it is necessary that the security sector is governed by the principles of effective governance and accountability, to prevent this sector from misusing its prerogatives, that the authorities abuse its control over the actors in the security sector and, above all, to build public confidence and establish or restore the legitimacy of the sector (UNODC, 2011). For this to happen, it is necessary that the security sector actors accept that their decisions and actions can be questioned and that any inappropriate behavior can have consequences such as compensation for victims or sanctions. Without this type of accountability and transparency, corruption and other inappropriate behavior can flourish (UNODC, 2011).
