Answer:

1) You should go home and watch TV.

Explanation:

Since you value seeing the play $10, then you should leave the theater and go to your house to watch TV since that has a higher value for you ($12).

We are talking about opportunity costs here. Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another. In this case the opportunity costs are:

  • watch the play = $10
  • watch TV = $12
  • read a book = $8

Since watching TV is more valuable to you, then that is what you should be doing.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The second option is the cheapest.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The first company offers free installation and equipment, but will charge you $401.00 per year forever. The second company charges $783.00 for installation, but will charge you $204.00 per year forever. Assume that payments are at the END of the year. Your personal interest rate is 5.00% per year

To calculate the present value, we need to use the formula for a perpetual annuity:

PV= Cf/i

Cf= cash flow

i= interest rate

Option 1:

PV= 401/0.05= $8,020

Option 2:

PV= 204/0.05 + 783/1.05= $4,825.71

The second option is the cheapest.

What is the maximum amount a firm should pay for a project that will return $15,000 annually for 5 years if the opportunity cost
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Explanation:

Given information:

Return = $15000 annually

Time = 5 years

Opportunity cost = 18%

The formula for payment is

PV=R(\frac{1}{OC}-\frac{1}{OC(1+OC)^t})

where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.

Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.

PV=15000(\frac{1}{0.18}-\frac{1}{0.18(1+0.18)^5})

PV=46907.5653141

PV\approx 46907.57

Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Answer:

Remain the same; remain the same.

Explanation:

Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;

I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).

II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).

III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).

IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).

V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).

There are different measures used in the measurement of the unemployment rate in a country's economy and these includes;

A. U-1: this is the percentage of people that are unemployed for at least 15 weeks or more.

B. U-2: this is the percentage of the people who have lost their job or the people that finished a temporary job.

C. U-3: this is the percentage of the population that is unemployed but actively seeking employment.

All things being equal (ceteris paribus), the unemployment rate would remain the same and the labor force participation rate remain the same because Matilda has decided to cruise around the country on her motorcycle for a month before she starts looking for work.
