Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

In order to compute the profit, the accountant consider the Explicit cost so,

Explicit Cost = Borrowed amount × Interest rate + Ingredients amount

                     = $30,000 ×  3% + $25,000

                     = $259,000

Where Revenue is $60,000

Profit = Revenue - Explicit Cost

        = $60,000 - $259,000

        = $34,100

Economic Profit is computed as:

Economic Profit = Total Profit - Implicit Cost

                          = $34,100 - $40,600

                          = - $6,500

where

Implicit Cost = Salary + Interest

                = $40,000 + ($20,000 × 3%)

                =  $40,000 + $600

                = $40,600

Therefore, Louis says profit is $34,100 and Greg says she lost $6,500

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The forecast exchange rate in one's year time according to Goldman Sachs is MXN 14.25/USD

Explanation:

The fact that the Mexican Peso will lose 15% of its value to the dollar means that a dollar will command 15% of the current Peso value  in  a year's time.

Mathematically, MXN 9.5*1.15= MXN14.25 in a year's time.

It also implies that a Mexican with dollars wanting to convert into MXN in a year's time will receive more Peso compared to now.

VikaD [51]
Opportunity cost of going to college is actually the salary forgone. 
With a yearly salary of $15,000 and a rent of $12000 yearly (parents would not let you live at home), we are left with $15000 - $12000 = $3000 per year 
For 4 years, the opportunity cost will be 4 x $3000 = $12000

kvasek [131]

Answer:

1.The money demand will rise by 1.154%

2. The money demanded will fall and for a 1% increase in interest , the money demanded will fall by 0.38%

Explanation:

1. Money demand function

ln(m) = β0 +β1 ln(GDP)+β2R

Suppose β1 = 1.5 , β2 = −0.04 , GDP = $ 100 & R = 3%

ln(m) = 1.5 ln ($100) - 0.04 X 0.03

ln(m) = 6.91

m = 1002.247

Suppose the GDP increases by 1%; the new GDP will be = $ 101  

ln(m) = 1.5 ln ($101) - 0.04 X 0.03

ln(m) = 6.92

m = 1013.81

If the GDP increases by 1% ,the money demand will rise by 1.154%

2.

If the interest rate increases from 3% to 4%

ln(m) = 1.5 ln ($100) - 0.04 X 0.04  

ln(m) = 6.906155

m = $ 998.400

If the interest rate rises from 3% to 4% , the money demanded will fall and for a 1% increase in interest , the money demanded will fall by 0.38%
