Answer:

Kevin has analyzed the situation well. However, he should also consider the fact that he saved $10 by only purchasing the shirt.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the forgone alternative. Out of the 3 choices, he only purchased 1 of the choices, the opportunity cost are the other two choices. However, he is still capable of buying the flip-flops costing $10 but he chose not to do so. He should consider it as a savings aside from it being a lost opportunity.

MAVERICK [17]

The correct answer is Only (A) and (C) are true

Explanation:

In a study or research, the control group is the one that does not receive a treatment. This means, in this case, the control group includes those who only drink the green tea without the herbs because they serve as a standard to measure the effects of the herbs. This makes statement A (The "only green tea" group serves as the control group) true; also, the group receiving the herbs is the experimental group.

On the other hand, a double-blind study is one in which the researchers and the participants ignore who is receiving the treatment, which guarantees there is objectivity. This occurs in the study presented because neither the researcher nor the subjects known who received the herbal mix. Thus, statement C (This study is double-blind) is true.

Finally, a study is classified as observational if there is not intervention but the researchers just observe participants to study a phenomenon. This does not occur in the study presented because there is an intervention through the herbal treatment, and therefore the study is not observational.

Microsoft presently pays no dividend. You anticipate Microsoft will pay an annual dividend of $0.60 per share two years from tod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The value of this stock today should be $6.22

Explanation:

The company will start paying dividends 2 years from today that is at t=2. The dividends received 2 years from today can be denoted as D2. The constant growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of this stock at t=2 as the growth rate in dividends is constant forever.

The price at t=2 will then be discounted back to its present value today to calculate the price of this stock today.

The price of this stock at t=2 will be,

P2 = D2 * (1+g) / (r - g)

P2 = 0.6 * (1+0.04)  /  (0.12 - 0.04)

P2 = $7.8

The value of this stock today should be,

P0 = 7.8 / (1+0.12)^2

P0 = $6.218 ROUNDED OFF TO $6.22

How does a bond sale by the fed affect the money supply?
kumpel [21]
A bond sale is a debt investment that is given by an investor to a particular corporate or governmental entity and is payable over a period of time at a variable or a fixed interest rate. It can affect the money supply, or the money of the country, because it encourages debtors to keep loaning from the government to finance their personal interests.
