Answer:

Explanation:

Where Price equals marginal cost ( MC ) , supply will be made .

A ) Supply curve for rainfed area  almond growers

P = .02 Q

Q = 50 P

Supply curve for drier area growers

P = .04 Q

Q = 25 P

B ) No of growers of rainfed area = 500

no of growers of dry area = 300

Total supply = Qs = 50 P x 500 + 25 P x 300

= 25000 P + 7500 P = 32500 P

C )

Market demand Qa = 105000 - 2500 P

For equilibrium Qa = Qs

32500 P = 105000 - 2500 P

35000 P = 105000

P = 3

D ) Qs = 32500 x 3 = 97500 .

E ) amount by rainfed growers

= 500 x 50 x 3 = 75000

amount by dry area growers = 300 x 25 x 3 = 22500

Cost is most plainly visible when spending more money on one thing means that less money can be spent on another thing. True or
SSSSS [86.1K]

The given statement about cost is a true statement as cost becomes most obvious when more money must be spent on one thing, leaving less available for another.

<h3>What is the cost?</h3>

A cost is often the value of the money that was expended during the production or delivery of something or service and is now unavailable for use.

Manufacturing, research, retail, and accountancy all make use of this idea. In business transactions, the cost may be an acquisition cost, in which case the amount of money spent to acquire it is considered to be part of the cost.

Finally, cost becomes most apparent when more money spent on one thing leaves less money for another. This corresponds to a true statement.

As a result, opportunity cost describes a decision we must make in order to make another one.

You have $50, for instance, which you may spend on a date with your partner or on your preferred game. The inability to purchase the game is your opportunity cost if you decide to utilize that money to take your partner out on a date.

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $650,000 in a fixed asset, with a useful life of 4 years, strai
Degger [83]

Answer:

18.5%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the average rate of return is shown below:

= Annual net income ÷ average investment

where,  

Annual net income equal to

= Expected total net income ÷ number of years

= $240,000 ÷ 4

= $60,000

And, the average investment would be

= (Initial investment + salvage value) ÷ 2

= ($650,000 + $0) ÷ 2

= $4650,000 ÷ 2

= $325,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the rate would equal to

= $60,000 ÷ $325,000

= 18.5%
