Answer:

Paraguas should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt.

Lluvia should choose funding in floating rate

Explanation:

Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing; thus it should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt, in which Libor is 5.500%; their total cost at 7.5% is still lower than Fixed rate 12.0%

Lluvia prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, and its rating is better; then it can enjoy lower cost of borrowing at 5%. However it may face the increase if LIBOR increase later; vice versa if LIBOR decrease, its cost of borrowing is able to reduce also.

Assume India can produce either 15 bottles of milk or 50 cartons of eggs using all of its available resources, and Indonesia can
diamong [38]

Answer:

50 cartons of eggs

Explanation:

The comparative advantage is a principle in which a country specializes in the production a good in which it has a lower opportunity cost than others.

                 Bottles of milk     cartons of eggs

India                  15                              50

Indonesia          25                             35

In this situation, the opportunity cost for India of producing 1 bottle of milk is producing 3.33 cartons of eggs. The opportunity cost for Indonesia of producing 1 bottle of milk is producing 1.4 cartons of eggs. This means that Indonesia has a lower opportunity cost and a comparative advantage in producing bottles of milk.

In the other part, the opportunity cost for India of producing 1 carton of eggs is producing 0.3 bottles of milk and the opportunity cost for Indonesia of producing 1 carton of eggs is producing 0.71 bottles of milk. This means that India has a lower opportunity cost and a comparative advantage in producing cartons of eggs.

According to this, India would specialize in producing eggs as it has a comparative advantage and the country will produce 50 cartons of eggs.

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for
faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

  1. if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
  2. if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
