- Qno 2 A huge international oil company is considering its strategy in the Arctic Sea. The UK government has announced that a new drilling site in the Arctic Sea will be offered for sale on a competitive tender basis, the site going to the company making the highest bid. Temporary exploration of the site indicates that, over its life, it can be expected to generate revenue of around £1500 million if the oil reserves turn out to be high, but only £500 million if they turn out to be low. Seismic tests have indicated that the probability of high reserves is 0.60. If the company is successful in its bid, it will also have to decide whether to construct a new oil rig for the site or to move an existing oil rig which is currently operating at an uneconomic site. The costs of the new rig are around £200 million and for moving the existing rig around £100 million. A new rig would be able to boost production by £150 million if reserve levels turned out to be high. The company has decided that if…arrow_forwardQ.3.

Weather also came to the party and allowed for an excellent agriculture season which saw record crops across most commodities with the grain and oilseed crop topping 17.07m tonnes which is almost 2% higher year-on-year. Despite logistical challenges, the sector managed to move hefty quantity of produce to the rest of the world with the second quarter of 2021 recording a trade surplus of US$1.5m which is 40% ahead of the same period in 2020. Then follows a 36% year-on-year spike in total agriculture exports in quarter two of 2021 at US$3.2bn, bringing the total 1H2021 export value to US$6.1bn which is 30% higher year-on-year...
