Assume there is index of the vacation cruise industry. Assume further that its value decreased due to the COVID-19 to $1800 per share, which represents about 30% of its end of 2019 value. The industry is not expected to fully recover this year and expected FCF per share will be -$80 in 2020, $140 in 2021 and grows at a constant annual rate of 5% thereafter. The appropriate discount rate to value the index is 12%. a) should an investor long or short this index? Show work. b) what minimum growth rate in FCF beyond 2021 would warranty longing this index?

. Employers often use the internet as a means of attracting applications from potential employees. Locate an internet site offering employment opportunities, ideally one provided by a well-known corporation (Lennar, Carnival Cruise Lines, Disney, etc.) or those listed on a job website (LinkedIn, Indeed.com, The Ladders, Monster, CareerBuilder, etc.). How does the employer promote its fringe benefit and cafeteria plan packages? Compare and contrast at least two different employment opportunities. Remember to follow APA formatting for your responses, including proper citing and referencing of outside sources used.

1. Take a closer look at our local economy or a country of your interest and pick a good or a service that you believe America (or your country of choice) has a comparative advantage in producing. Discuss the factors that you believe give America (or your country of choice) such an advantage. 2. In addition, which is better for a country—to export more or to import more? 3. Moreover, what is the impact of trade surplus (exporting more than importing) and trade deficit (importing more than exporting) on GDP, employment, and the exchange rate of the country's currency?
