The opportunity cost of going to college should include the direct costs of getting an education (tuition and books) plus the income you could have earned if you did not go to college. Over four years, the opportunity cost is equal to:


4 × ($15000  + $2500 + $20000) = $150000

Opportunity cost of going to college is actually the salary forgone. 
With a yearly salary of $15,000 and a rent of $12000 yearly (parents would not let you live at home), we are left with $15000 - $12000 = $3000 per year 
For 4 years, the opportunity cost will be 4 x $3000 = $12000

Positive Messages and the Writing Process
vlada-n [284]

Answer: Refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. a. Sales pitches, requests for favors - Persuasive.

When writing a Sales Pitch or Request for Favors Message, one must try to convince the intended receiver to buy the good being sold or to be willing to grant the favor requested. For this reason, the tone has to be persuasive.

b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims - Positive

These types of messages have to have a positive tone because they should come across in a friendly way so that the receiver may accept it as such.

c. Bad news, refusals - Negative

These are negative messages and as such should have a negative and indirect tone so that the receiver may understand the gravity of the message.

2. a. Make a list of points to cover.

d. Collect information.

e. Compose the first draft

The 3-x-3 writing process is a method of writing used to encourage a good writing flow.

It is divided into 3 stages being, <em>Prewriting, Writing</em> and <em>Revising</em>.

During Prewriting, one must determine why the are writing as well as who the message is intended for. Gilberto has done this already so the next step is the Writing stage.

The Writing stage includes, Making a list of points to cover so that the writing may be orderly and have the relevant information. It also includes researching where you collect information for the message to be written. And then finally composing the first draft which can then be scrutinized in the next stage.

3. Messages delivered through business letters are less likely to reach <u>unintended recipients </u>than messages delivered through <u>e-mail</u>.

Thus, business letters are more <u>confidential</u>.

Messages through Business letters have the intended recipients stated and usually get to the intended recipient as a result. Emails can sometimes be mixed up.

That fact means that business letters can carry more sensitive information and as such are more confidential.

For contracts that include more than one separate performance obligation: Multiple Choice Revenue is recorded over time at the f
Talja [164]

Answer:

The contract price is allocated to each performance obligation in proportion to the obligations' stand-alone selling prices.

Explanation:

Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.

Simply stated, mutual assent connotes agreement, acceptance and consent to a contract by both parties.

In financial economics, an option can be defined as a contract availing the buyer (owner) of an option the absolute right but not an obligation, to call (buy) or put (sell) a given amount of an asset at specific price (amount of money) at a specific period of time in the future. Generally, options are bought and sold through retail brokers. When a price is stated on an option it is referred to as the strike price.

Hence, for contracts that include more than one separate performance obligation, the contract price is allocated to each performance obligation in proportion to the obligations' stand-alone selling prices.
