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.

b. Paint is lasting longer, so that property owners need not repaint as often- Demand for paint will fall due to its long lasting. This shifts the demand curve to the left decreasing the price and quantity of paints.

c. Because of severe hail storms, many people need to repaint now- Demand for paint will increase shifting the demand curve to the right increasing the price and quantity of paints.

d. The hail storms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months- Supply of paint will decrease as factories close down. This will shift the supply curve to the left increasing the price of pain and decreasing the quantity of paint.

Ainat [17]
