When you have to give up one thing in order to get another this is called a <u>Tradeoff</u>.
<h3>Why do we have tradeoffs?</h3>
- As a result of scarcity, the resources available to us are not enough for all our needs and wants.
- We are forced to choose between needs and wants that will be satisfied.
Tradeoffs therefore lead to opportunity costs because we would be giving up the benefits of the alternative to the option we chose.

Answer:
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
- Cost for Plan A = ($0.41 x 120) + ($0.16 x 40) + $20 = $
75.60
- Cost for Plan B = ($0.51 x 120) + ($0.15 x 40) + $20 = $
87.20
- Cost for Plan C = $80 + $20 = $100
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
- If the agent will use the service only for daytime calls, Plan A is better if the agent uses 195 minutes maximum. If the agent expects to use 196 or more minutes, then Plan C is better.
c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B?
- Plan A charges 10¢ less per daytime minute, while plan B charges 1¢ less for evening minutes, that means that the proportion of daytime calls should be 1/11, while the proportion of evening calls should be 10/11.

Explanation:
When an economy has a strong balance sheet and a declining budget deficit, it means that there is less need to borrow from the market which would keep rates lower.
When the economy is weakening, the Fed will try to stimulate it by engaging in actions that weaken short term interest rates so that people and businesses can borrow at lower cost and invest or buy goods and services.
When investors are worried about the riskiness of other financial assets, they usually come to safer assets like U.S. Treasury bonds so that they do not lose money and this is what happened in the credit crisis of 2008. More demand for the bonds led to a rise in their price.
Answer: The investment is written down to fair value, and only the credit loss component of the impairment loss is recognized in net income.
Explanation: The fair value of the debt is simply its value if you adjust the price of the debt so that a buyer would be earning the market rate of interest. If the fair value of a debt investment that is classified as an available-for-sale investment declines for a reason that is viewed as "other than temporary" because the company has incurred a credit loss on the investment then the investment is written down to fair value, and only the credit loss component of the impairment loss is recognized in net income.
