Answer: The opportunity cost of producing 1 apple will be 1 orange.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is defined as the loss or cost of another alternative when another alternative is being chosen by an economic agent.
In this scenario, the opportunity cost of producing every additional apple will be 1 orange due to the fact that as there's an increase in the production of apple from 80 to 90, there'll be a reduction in the production of orange from 30 to 20.
This indicates that for the increase of 10 apples, there's a reduction of 10 oranges which implies that an increase of 1 apple brings about a reduction by 1 orange.

Answer: 10.13%
Explanation:
The after-tax return on the preferred shares would be:
= After-tax return + Premium required
= (8.8% * (1 - 25%)) + 1%
= 7.6%
For the preferred stock to be issued at par with the above after tax return:
= After tax return / ( 1 - tax)
= 7.6% ( 1 - 25%)
= 10.13%
Answer:
The present value of the future earnings is $51,981,214.36
Explanation:
The present value of the earning can be calculated by discounting the earnings for the next five years along with calculating the terminal value of earnings at the end of the five years when the growth rate in earnings becomes constant and discounting it back to the present value.
Taking the value in millions,
Present Value = 1 * (1+0.3) / (1+0.08) + 1 * (1+0.3)^2 / (1+0.08)^2 +
1 * (1+0.3)^3 / (1+0.08)^3 + 1 * (1+0.3)^4 / (1+0.08)^4 + 1 * (1+0.3)^5 / (1+0.08)^5 + [( 1 * (1+0.3)^5 * (1+0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)) / (1+0.08)^5]
Present value = $51.98121436 million or $51,981,214.36
