Answer: $297,353.33

Explanation:

In calculating the Opportunity Cost of using that space with the available data, the following formula can be used (notice that APR is a yearly figure and the rent is monthly),

Opportunity cost = Rent per month *12* (1-tax rate) / APR

= $3,431.00 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.35) / 0.09

= 297353.333333

= $297,353.33

$297,353.33 is the opportunity cost of using this space.

Note the method used above is the faster method but if you want to use the other method, first you change the rent to a monthly figure. Then you divide it by the cost of capital to get the present value. Then you multiply by the After tax rate of (1 - tax rate). It's basically the same as the above though.

In the United States, what does the general level of a family’s income have to do with the amount of cash the family is likely t
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The general level of family's income is directly proportional to the amount of cash a family is likely to hold

Explanation:

Of the three motives of money, transactional motives of money relates to holding money(whether at hand or at bank) to meet daily transaction e.g buying of fuel/gas, transport fare to work place.

For example, family A earns $100 per week and holds $30 to meet daily transaction or unforeseen circumstances. If his pay increases to$150, it is intuitive for Mr A to hold higher money, lets say $50
