faust18 [17]

Answer:

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

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

konstantin123 [22]

The following journal entry will be passed in the books of accounts and the interest expense is calculated to an amount of $9600

Explanation:

Given data:

amount of note: $200000, annual principal payments to be made each year at December 31st = $40000, interest amount to be charged = 6 percent, duration of note = 5 years

the following calculation is made in order to find out the amount of interest:

Amount of note minus principal payment multiply with rate of interest

now, putting the figures in formula:

interest = 200000 minus 40000 = $160000 multiply with .06 = $9600

Thus, the interest amount = $9600

The interest expense will be debited with an amount of $9600 in the books of accounts.

Suppose two countries, Country A and Country B, have a similar real GDP per capita. Country A has an average economic growth r

ozzi

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Many studies have found a positive correlation between economic growth and living standards. This means that empirical works have found that countries with higher economic growth, often have better living standards than the countries with less economic growth. In this case if real GDP per capita of both countries is similar, then they are comparable.

We can deduce that the country B will experience an increase in living standards much more rapidly in the long run because economic growth leads to an increase in profits for firms, there would be a better capital and labor return. This means that firms will pay more for capital and labor, if households are de owners of capital and labor, their rents and wages will increase. The disposable income will increase for households and they will consume more goods and services, then their living standards will increase.
