Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

you can get more of one good only by giving up some of another good

Explanation:

A production possibilities frontier shows the opportunity cost of producing one good instead of another. This way, as you follow the curve, the combination of goods will vary, increasing the production of one good but deceasing the production of the other.

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Since resources are scarce, you must always give something up in order to obtain another thing, e.g. you give up your leisure time in order to study.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The federal government can regulate Jen's activity citing the supreme court rule of the government ability to regulate any activity interstate or intrastate that affects interstate commerce.

In the line of this argument it means that a farmer growing and of goods affects interstate commerce.

The farmers best argument concerning the federal government regulating their activities due to interstate commerce is that his activities are purely local and although I don't believe any court will hear him out.

A capital budgeting project is expected to have the following cash flows: Year Cash Flows 0 -$850,000 1 $300,000 2 $400,000 3 $5

diamong [38]

The capital budgeting project's net present value at an 18% required rate of return is <u>($4,200).</u>

<h3>What is the net present value?</h3>

The net present value represents the net discounted value of cash inflows after subtracting the present value of cash outflows.

The net present value can be determined by determining the present values of cash inflows and outflows and netting the two values.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Required rate of return = 18%

Project period = 3 years

Year Cash Flows PV Factor Present Value

0 -$850,000 1 -$850,000 ($850,000 x 1)

1 $300,000 0.847 $254,100 ($300,000 x 0.847)

2 $400,000 0.718 $287,200 ($400,000 x 0.718)

3 $500,000 0.609 $304,500 ($500,000 x 0.609)

Net present value ($4,200)

Thus, the capital budgeting project's net present value at an 18% required rate of return is <u>($4,200)</u>.

Given the following two potential locations to construct an urgent care, use incremental B/C ratio to determine which location,

White raven [17]

Answer:

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Explanation:

The incremental BCR can be determined using the following formula

$\Delta BC_R = \frac{AW_B-AW_D-AW_M}{AW_i}$

$AW_C=1,000,000(A/P,$ 8% , 10)

⇒ $AW_C= 1,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^1^0}$

⇒ $AW_2=2,000,000(A/P,$ 8%, 20)

⇒ $AW_2= 2,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^2^0}$

⇒ $AW_C_2$ = $203,704.42

Incremental initial investment = 203,704.42 - 149,029.49

= $ 54,674.93

Incremental benefits = 580,000 - 520,000 = 60,000

Incremental O&M = 75,000 - 80,000 = - $ 5000

Incremental Disbenefits = 140,000 - 90,000 =$ 50,000

$\Delta BC_R = \frac{60,000-50,000-(-5000)}{54,674.93} \\\\\Delta BC_R=0.2743$

All solving using the present worth method also incremental benefit cost ratio comes out to be 0.2743.

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Which of the following statements best reflects a price-taking firm? a The firm has an incentive to charge less than the market

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A price taking firm is a firm that must sell at the price determined by the forces of demand and supply. This is typical of firms that in industries that sell identical products.

If the firm charges a price higher than equilibrium price, customers would go to other suppliers and the firm would sell known of its product.

There would be no incentive for a firm to sell below equilibrium price because it would be earning losses.

An example of an industry characterised by price taking firms are perfectly competitive industries.

For example, a farmer selling oranges is an example of a price taking firm
