Answer:

B) people face trade offs

Explanation:

Resources are scarce, and that applies to every person and every organization in the world. Even the richest person or richest organization has a certain finite amount of money, time and other resources. For example, if we decide to work 12 hours a day, we will make more money, but we will also have less time o do other activities that we like.

In this case, Billie Jean only has $120 and she wants to buy both products, but she can only buy one. Whatever product she decides to buy will leave her with $0, so if she wants to purchase the other product she will need to find a job and earn some money, or if she already has a job, she will need to work more hours.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Debt = 0.65

Weight = 39.39%

Cost for debt = 2%

Product = 39.39% × 2%

= 0.3939 × 0.02

= 0.007878

Equity = 1.00

Weight = 60.61%

Cost for equity = 6%

Product = 60.61% × 6%

= 0.6061 × 0.06

= 0.036366

Weighted average floatation cost:

= 0.007878 + 0.036366

= 0.044244

= 4.42%

The true cost of the building will then be:

= Funds needed / (1 - Floatation cost)

= $43,000,000 / (1 - 0.044244)

= $43,000,000 / 0.955756

= $44,990,562

Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses​ $1,000,000 in savings to purchase​ land, he rents equipment for ​$1
mina [271]

Answer:

-$475,000

Explanation:

Total revenue = Baskets of peaches × Price

                       = 100,000 × $3

                       = $300,000

Explicit cost:

= Rent equipment + wages

= $100,000 + $100,000

= $200,000

Implicit cost:

= Land × Interest + salesman earned

=  $1,000,000 × 0.55 + $25,000

= $575,000

Total cost = Explicit cost: + Implicit cost

                = $200,000 + $575,000

                = $775,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total cost

                           = $300,000 - $775,000

                           = -$475,000
