Answer:
Opportunity costs are defined as the additional costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. It is a relative concept because you cannot be 100% sure that the other investments or activities would have yielded a specific gain.
For example, when you calculate the economic cost of starting your own business, you consider your current salary as an opportunity cost. But what happens if you get fired (or the company closes), your opportunity cost would have been $0? Or how can you exactly measure your future salaries? Maybe in a couple of years you get promoted to manager, or maybe not?
The same applies to economies, since the opportunity cost of producing certain tradable goods is not always fixed, it might decrease or increase due to productivity or efficiency changes. But in order to calculate or determine we must include the most probable option.
In microeconomics, a strictly convex production possibilities frontier function must include a combination of both goods. In strict convexity, the second derivative f''(x) ˃ 0, so the PFF curve cannot be straight, it must have a slope.
When we calculate the opportunity costs of PPF, we usually try to determine which product has the lowest opportunity cost, but that is not an interior solution because both goods are not being produced (the curve is not strictly convex). On a strictly convex curve, as you approach the extremes the opportunity cost of producing one good is high, but on the center the opportunity cost is much lower.

Explanation:
Answer: I decreases; II decreases; III decreases
Explanation:
Debt Covenants becoming more restrictive means that less people want to borrow money. This shifts the demand curve to the left and this Decreases interest rates.
The Fed increasing money supply means that there is more money in the economy. This shifts the supply curve to the right thus having the effect of reducing Interests rates as there is more money available for loans.
Total Household Wealth increasing means that Households have less of an incentive to borrow money. This reduces the demand for interest rates so interest rates decrease.
Answer:
b) $33,000
Explanation:
Capital Expenditure = $20,000
Salvage Value in % = 10%
Useful Life = 4 Years
Salvage Value = Salvage Value% * Capital Expenditure
Salvage Value = 10% * 20,000
Salvage Value = $2,000
Annual Depreciation = (Capital Expenditures - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = ($20,000 - $2,000) / 4
Annual Depreciation = $18,000 / 4
Annual Depreciation = $4,500
Depreciation of 2023E = Depreciation Pre 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2021E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2022E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2023E
Depreciation of 2023E = $15,000 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500
Depreciation of 2023E = $33,000
Answer:
Dividends for the year $63,000
Explanation:
Phil Graves Cemetery
Jan. 1 Shares issued and outstanding 63,000
June 1 2-for-1 stock split x 2
June 1 Shares issued and outstanding 126,000
Oct. 15 Cash dividend declared (per share)x $ .50
Dividends for the year $63,000
Therefore the amount that Graves should report as dividends is $63,000
