Answer:C. $40
Explanation: Opportunity cost is a term used in Economics to describe the value of the next most profitable alternative of this an investor puts his or her resources into,in this case the opportunity cost for Bubba is the percentage of the interest which Bubba earned from the interest.
Opportunity cost for Bubba can be calculated as follows
(2%/100)* $2,000=$40.
Opportunity cost helps economists to ensure that resources are effectively put to use.
Answer:
The answer is: 30 to 40%, according to satellite imagery
Explanation:
Satellite imagery is the most reliable way to try to determine what percentage of the Earth's land is used for agriculture. First and most important, the world is huge and only satellites have the technology to take images of continents and differentiate what possible use is given to them.
Government's surveys and records are no very reliable since you would need to use information from all the governments in the world including democratic countries and nations with dictatorships.
Answer:
C. projected increasing health care costs for the aging population.
Explanation:
If the debt to GDP ration increases, it means that the country will owe more money compared to capacity of creating wealth. A common problem for several developed countries is that the proportion or retired people has increased compared to the total active labor force. This means that the number of people working or searching of jobs relative to the number of retired people has decreased. Even though retired people tend to have more accumulated wealth, their living expenses are also much higher. What makes this situation a problem is that retired people only have passive income, they do not have earned income. And generally speaking, passive income grows at a much lower rate that earned income.
This is why many developed countries started to implement immigration policies focusing on highly trained and educated applicants that can replace their native workforce.
Given:
tuition: 180,000 per year
period to save: 18 years
annual rate of return : 6%
FV = PV * (1+r)^t
180,000 = PV * (1 + 0.06)¹⁸
180,000 = PV * (1.06)¹⁸
PV = 180,000 / (1.06)¹⁸ = 180,000 / 2.854 = 63,069.38
Jack and Jill will have to invest 63,069.38 in the first year to have a total of 180,000 after 18 years.
Using Future Value Annuity formula:
FV of Annuity = P [{(1+r)^n - 1} / r]
180,000 = P [{(1.06)¹⁸ - 1} / 0.06]
180,000 = P (30.906)
P = 180,000 / 30.906
P = 5,824.11
Jack and Jill will have to deposit 5,824.11 every end of the year for the total to reach 180,000 after 18 years.
