Answer:
an increase in the working population
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontier (PPF) is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
The PPF can shift either inward or outward.
An outward shift is associated with an increase in output while an inward shift is associated with a reduction in output.
Factors that cause the PPF to shift
1. changes in technology. technological progress leads to outward shift of the PPF. introduction of "fiber optic" technology would shift the PPF outward.
2. changes in available resources. a land reclamation program would increase the land available for production and this would increase output. While an explosion destroying a chemical plant would reduce output and lead to an inward shift of the PPF
3. changes in the labour force. A decrease in unemployment would increase output and shift the the PPF outward
Working population is the number of people between 15-59.
Answer:
0.67
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
If the family buys one can of soup, the opportunity cost is the frozen food forgone.
Opportunity cost of one can of soup = 60 / 90 = 0.67

Answer:
Reserves & Checkable deposits will equal to $36,000 and $106,000
Explanation:
The amount of checkable deposits is given $120,000 on the liabilities side. So, the withdrawal and clearance of check worth $14,000 will lead to a decline in the number of checkable deposits by $14,000. As a result, the remaining amount of checkable deposits will equal to $106,000 ($120,000 - $14,000).
To maintain the balance on asset & liabilities side of the balance sheet, the asset side will also reduce by $14,000. $14,000 will be deducted from the reserves of the bank. As a result, the remaining amount of reserves is equal to $36,000 ($50,000 - $14,000).
Answer: $5,396.79
Explanation:
The net present value is value of the after tax cash flows from an investment minus the value of the amount invested.
The net present value can be found using a financial calculator.
Cash flow for year zero = $-175,000
Cash flow for each year from year 1 to year 3 = 70,000
I = 8%
NPV =$5,396.79
