Answer:

4 million  houses

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the forfeited benefit as a result of choosing one option over others.  Its value equals the cost of the next best alternative.

The cost of constructing a new home is $150,000.  If the Federal Defence has a budget of $600 billion, the opportunity cost of spending that amount will be the equivalent number of units that can be built by the amount.

To calculate the number of units= $600 billion divided by $150,000

= $600,000,000,000/ $150,000

=4,000,000

=4 million units

When the Federal Reserve sells treasury bonds to a bank, the money supply is decreased.  Since there are smaller available funds for the bank to loan (they have tied up some cash by buying the bonds), the interest rate the bank charges (all other things EQUAL!) will increase.   

Basically, what has happened is that the bank has lent money to the federal government, rather than to other lenders.  So if it has no other sources of lendable funds  AND borrowers don't have other banks to go to that are charging the current rate, the same number of borrowers competing for a smaller amount of borrowable funds will lead to a higher price, (interest rate) for those loans.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

It will be better to produce all the units of Plain we can sell, then use any remaining machine hours to produce Fancy. This is because Plain, generated more contribution per hour than Fancy.

We have to calculate the Contribution Margin per machine hours

This means check which product makes a better use of the scarse resourse

\frac{Plain\: CM}{Plain \: Machine \: Hours } = CM \: per \:Machine\:Hour\\\\ 80 \div 2 = 40

\frac{Fancy\: CM}{Fancy\: Machine \: Hours } = CM \: per \:Machine\:Hour\\\\ 93 \div 3 = 31

It will be better to produce all the units of Plain we can sell, then use any remaining machine hours to produce Fancy
