Here are three things you could do if you do not attend your neighbor's barbecue: watch television with some friends (you value

this at $17), read a good novel (you value this at $14), or go in to work (you could earn $16 during the barbecue). The opportunity cost of going to your neighbor's barbecue is
a. $16, because this is the only alternative of the three where you actually receive a monetary payment.
b. $14, because this is the lowest valued alternative forfeited.
c. $17, because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.
d. $47, because this is the total dollar sum of the alternatives forfeited.

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Alternatives for a person if he do not attend his neighbor's barbecue:

(1) Watch television with some friends = he value this at $17

(2) Read a good novel = he value this at $14

(3) Go in to work = he could earn $16 during the barbecue

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore, the opportunity cost of going to his neighbor's barbecue is the enjoyment he get from watching television with some friends because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.

agasfer [191]

The domestic variety is cheaper because there is no import duties or no charges imposed on it because of the import from other countries.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A country produces a lot of goods and services in it's own economy using the resources which are present in it's own country. But the goods and the services that are not available in the country but are demanded by the citizens of the country are imported from other countries.

When these goods and services are imported from other countries then there is an imposition of duties or taxes on those goods making the charges of those goods high. With the transportation of the goods from one country to the other, then also some cost is imposed on the good. This increases the cost or the price of the good.

Unlike consumer credit, trade credit does not involve the use of a
hammer [34]

Answer:

Trade credit means many things but the simplest definition is an arrangement to buy goods and/or services on account without making immediate cash or check payments. Trade credit is a helpful tool for growing businesses, when favorable terms are agreed with a business's supplier.

Explanation:

Trade credit allows businesses to receive goods or services in exchange for a promise to pay the supplier within a set amount of time. New businesses often have trouble securing financing from traditional lenders; buying inventory, for example, on trade credit helps increase their purchasing power.
