Answer:
1. $46,550
2. $405,000
3. $450,600
Explanation:
1. Computation of differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200
Differential cost = Cost of a new model 300 - Cost of a new model 200
Differential cost = $396,350 - $349,800
Differential cost = $46,550
So, the differential cost regarding decision to buy model 200 is $46,550.
2. Sunk costs are the costs which are already incurred by the entity in the past and which are not relevant to decision made today. In this case, sunk cost is the cost of the machine purchased seven years ago for $405,000.
3. Opportunity cost is the profit forgone by chosen alternative course of action. In this case, the Opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine is $450,600.
Answer:
It would take exactly 37 years
Explanation:
If we suppose that the economy starts at 10,000 billion dollars in 2020, the economy would only double by the year 2057, reaching a value of 20,399 billion dollars.
If we substract 2020 from 2057, we obtain 37, which is the number of years it took for this economy to double growing at a rate of 2% per year.
Answer:
C) democratic reforms
Explanation:
One of the things I remember when I was a little kid was watching action movies with my father and many of them had a common hero, an American soldier or spy (and James Bond even though he is British), and a common enemy, the Soviet Union or some other communist country.
That was very in the late 80s and early 90s, and probably much earlier. The world was divided into two sides, the side that favored liberty and freedom (the US) and the communist evil nations.
In economic terms, communism and command economies meant that the government controlled most of a country's resources. This had a negative effect in that only politicians and their allies lived well and were rich, while the rest of the population was poor.
But then president Reagan and premier Gorbachev got together and decided that it was time for all the nonsense to stop, and the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union split up and luckily for all (except James Bond and other heroes), communism ended.
The fall of communist led to democratic and capitalistic reforms.
