Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost can be defined as the cost of giving up or sacrificing the second-best alternative. In other words, it is the benefit that could have been earned if the alternative was not sacrificed.  

Here, Joe bought gold coins for $1,000 and sold them at the same price. He could have instead invested in a certificate of deposit and earned a 3% interest rate. So here the opportunity cost of purchasing the gold coins is the interest earnings sacrificed.

How are the sixth, seventh, and eighth amendments similar?
ra1l [238]
What ever amendment does:

1) 6th amendment- This guarantees citizens the right to a public trial, the right to a lawyer, right to have a jury of their peers, and the right to know what charges are being put against you. All of these are imperative, as it gives each citizen equal treatment in the eyes of the law. 
2) 7th amendment- This guarantees a right to a civil trial in any case in which the object in question is valued at over $20. In this case, there would be a jury. This ensures that any damage to a person's property may be ruled on in court. 
3) 8th amendment- This protects citizens against excessive bail. This ensures that citizens are not held for an unfair amount of money. The crime dictates how much bail should be for the individual. 

Hope this helps! God bless
