Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone, while choosing an alternative. This arises because of 'choice' problem, due to unlimited wants & limited resources - having alternative uses.

Answer:
unsolicited trade
Explanation:
In this scenario, the trade that was made would be considered an unsolicited trade. This is mainly due to the customer having called the representative telling him to place the trade and buy the 100 shares of ABC stock. Therefore, this trade was ultimately the idea of the investor (customer) in this scenario and not the representative's idea. That would make this trade fall into the category of an unsolicited trade. If the idea was initially the representative's and he was the one to mention the trade to the client then it would have been a solicited trade, but this is not the case.

Answer: D) Favorable Unfavorable
Explanation:
To begin, it is worthy of note that in Variance, if something is said to be Favourable, it means a negative Variance because less resources than planned were spent. When it is Unfavourable, it means a positive balance variance.
Now, The formula for Labour Rate Variance is as follows,
LABOUR RATE VARIANCE=(ACTUAL RATE-STANDARD RATE)*ACTUAL HOURS WORKED
Seeing as the old workers were being paid $18, and the new office ones were paid $10, we can see that to be the actual rate was less than the standard rate. This would mean that there was a FAVOURABLE balance.
Labour Efficiency is calculated in a similar way,
LABOUR EFFICIENCY VARIANCE=(ACTUAL HOURS WORKED-STANDARD HOURS)*STANDARD RATE.
Now, these are Office workers not assemblyline workers. They do not have the experience to work in such a way that they produce as fast or as efficiently as their striking Assemblyline colleagues.
This would then mean that their actual hours will be MORE than the standard rate which can only lead to an UNFAVOURABLE BALANCE.
B. Finance a car. If they need to use one yearly, then it would be best to finance one and pay it off over time
