Explain the relationship between South Africa and its neighbors in regards to trade, transportation and investment.

Suppose you have some money to invest-for simplicity, $1-and are planning to put a fraction w into a stock market mutual fund and the rest ( 1− w ), into a bond mutual fund. Suppose that a $1 invested in a stock fund yields ??after one year and a $1 invested in a bond fund yields Rb . ?? and Rb are random variables with expected value of 9% and 7% respectively, and standard deviation of 4% and 2% respectively. The correlation between ?? and Rb is 0.75. If you place a fraction w of your money in the stock fund and the rest ( 1− w ), in the bond fund then the return on your investment will be R wRs w Rb = + (1− ) . The risk associated with your investment is measured by the standard deviation. a. If you decide to invest 60% of your $1 in stock and the rest in bond, then what is the expected return of your investment? What is its associated risk? B. What share of your $1 money should you invest in stock in order to expect a 8.6% return on your investment? For that same share i.e. invested in stock, what level of risk is associated with your investment? C. What share of your $1 money should you invest in stock mutual fund in order for your investment risk to be 3%? (you can show your work using algebra, or calculus).

Global Supply Chains have been hit extensively by the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) pandemic affecting Global trade and Investment at an unprecedented speed and scale. This has been worsened by the reliance on China for most supplies causing most governments, businesses, institutions, and individual consumers with unprecedented shortages. The effect has been predicted to last for a few years.

The current situation calls for a radical change in procurement and modeling of supply chains. You are to recommend the critical change that either a public sector organization, Multinational company or a local firm needs in the management of their procurement strategies and processes taking cognizance of their Supply chains. You must factor in the relevant theories, strategies and tools in your recommendation.

In the United States, price floors are commonly used to support farmers, such as for dairy products. Assume several U.S. trading partners impose tariffs on dairy products exported from the United States. The tariffs are effective and are reducing dairy exports from the United States and have pushed the domestic equilibrium price of milk below the price floor. Using a supply and demand model, illustrate what happens to the U.S. domestic price of milk, quantity of milk sold in the United States, and any surplus or shortage of milk. Be sure to support your graph with a written explanation.

Discuss Rees’ Spillover Effect, and outline the specific assumptions he makes in order to achieve his results. Use diagrams where necessary.

.  Suppose a monopoly faces inverse market demand P = 600 – 0.01Q, and that the firm’s total cost curve is C = 2,500,000 + 10Q + 0.015Q².

1. Find the firm’s profit-maximizing price and output P^M, Q^Mand sketch the equilibrium.  
2. Find the firm’s ATC formula.  What is the ATC at the output level you found in part a?
3. Add the ATC to your graph and indicate the firm’s profit.  What is the total profit?
4. What is the per unit profit at Q^M?  Explain why it does not make sense to produce more output when the average cost is so far below the price at Q^M.
5. Find the firm’s Lerner index at P^M, Q^M. What does the number tell you?
6. Suppose the government levies an 8% tax on profits.  Does this tax alter the monopoly’s price-output choice? Explain why or why not.

8.if there’s a health care lesson from Europe, it’s that we can and should have a much broader scope of public health coverage in Canada. Evidence shows that we can have a more just, equitable and comprehensive universal health care system that costs less and provides higher quality care for all. Comment.
