Refers to the benefit that we forego when we choose an alternative over another.

In this scenario, Susie can either have 100 turkeys or 5 peacocks. The opportunity cost of a single peacock would be:

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 5 kg of steak.

Casey's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.2 kg of potatoes.

Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of potatoes is 3 kg of steak.

Rick's opportunity cost of producing 1 kg of steak is 0.33 kg of potatoes.

Casey should produce steak while Rick should produce potatoes, since Rick has a comparative advantage in producing potatoes (lower opportunity cost) and Casey has a comparative advantage in producing steak.

As long as the price of steak per kilogram of potatoes is less than 5 kg of steak and more than 3 kg of steak, then both would win. In order for both of them to win is a similarly proportional way, the exchange price should be 4 kg of steak per kg of potatoes.

Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $36 per share. She borrows $4,500 from her b

meriva

Answer:

A) Dee´s Margin = 58.33%; B) Remaining Margin if price drops to $26 is 30.56% C) She won´t receive a margin call (but close...)

D) Rate of Return = - 32.36%

Explanation:

Hi, first let´s find out what the initial margin is, for that we have to use the following formula.

$Margin=\frac{Equity}{ValueStocks}$

Now, in order to find the equity, we have to find the total value of the stocks and substract the debt from it, since it was 300 shares at $30 per share, the total value of the investment is $7,800, therefore, its equity is $3,300 ($7,800-$4,500).

So everything should look like this

$Margin=\frac{6,300}{10,800} =0.5833$

So the initial margin was 58.33%

If the price drops to $26 by the end of the year, the remaining margin in her account is:

$Margin=\frac{3,300}{10,800} =0.3056$

So the remaining margin one year later, after the stock price dropped to $26 was 30.56%

Now, in order to find the rate of return on her investment, at the end of the year, we have to remember that the money loaned was at 11%, therefore, the best way to find out the return of this investment is to convert this into money, like such.

First (Gross Return of the stock)

$Gross Return=\frac{Final.P-Initial.P}{Initial.P} x100$

$Gross Return=\frac{26-36}{36} x100=-0.2778$

Ok, we have the gross return, which is -$27.78%

The interest expenses are just as follows.

$Interest Expense=4,500*0.11=-495$

To find the return on the investmen, we need to use the following formula.

$RateReturn=\frac{FinalInvestment-InitialInvestment}{InitialInvesment} x100$

The final investment is: Gross return($)+interest Expenses

$FinalInvest=\frac{300*(-10)+(-4,500*0.11)}{10,800} =-0.3236$

This means that, by the end of the year, her return on the investment was -32.36%. In money, this is - $3,495.

Best of luck.

Answer:

The best depiction of the information level given to a department manager versus that reported to a company vice-president is:

Department Manager Company Vice-President

B. Somewhat detailed Somewhat summarized

Explanation:

At the operational level of the organization, the information requirement is for detailed data to help the department manager act on operational decisions. At the tactical level where the vice-president operates, the information requirement is for data that is somewhat summarized but not too detailed. The highest level of the organizational hierarchy is the strategic level, where information requirement concentrates on detailed reports and not detailed data but highly summarized data.
