Suppose you have a dinner gift certificate for $20. You can use it to order meatloaf or pot roast. Meatloaf costs $12 and pot roast costs $14. Meatloaf and pot roast are both worth $15 to you. The dollar value of the opportunity cost of choosing meatloaf instead of pot roast is $15 EX.

<h3>What Is Opportunity Cost?</h3>

Opportunity costs represent the potential benefits that an individual, investor, or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Because opportunity costs are unseen by definition, they can be easily overlooked. Understanding the potential missed opportunities when a business or individual chooses one investment over another allows for better decision making.

Opportunity cost is often overlooked by investors. In essence, it refers to the hidden cost associated with not taking an alternative course of action. If, for example, a company pursues a particular business strategy without first considering the merits of alternative strategies available to them, they might fail to appreciate their opportunity costs and the possibility that they could have done even better had they chosen another path.

Formula Of Opportunity Cost

​Opportunity Cost=FO−CO

where:

FO=Return on best forgone option.

CO=Return on chosen option.

Explanation:

Its very important to calculate the Retained Earnings Balance at the end of July 2020.

To do this, we need to first calculate the Net Income for the period as follows :

<u>Income Statement for the year ended July 31, 2022</u>

Service Revenue                                                        15,500

Less Expenses :

Maintenance and Repairs Expense           1,200

Utilities Expense                                           950

Insurance Expense                                       600

Salaries and Wages Expense                    8,400     (11,150)

Net Income/(loss)                                                         4,350

Then, calculate the Retained Earnings Balance as follows :

<u>Retained Earnings Calculation </u>

Beginning Balance                                    5,200

Add Net Income during the period          4,350

Less Dividends                                            (800)

Ending Balance                                         8,750

In order to produce 100 pairs of oven gloves, Marcia incurs an average total cost of $2.50 per pair. Marcia’s marginal cost is c
anygoal [31]

Answer:

option (d) $200.00

Explanation:

Average total cost for 100 pairs = $2.50

Marginal cost for every pair = $10.00

Now,

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

or

Fixed cost = Total cost - variable cost

or

Fixed cost = (Average total cost × 100) - (Marginal cost × 100)

= ($2.5 × 100) - ($1 × 100)  

= $250 - $100  

= $150

thus,

Total cost to produce 50 pairs of oven gloves

= fixed cost + variable cost

= $150 + (50 × $1)

= $150 + $50

= $200

Hence,

option (d) $200.00

Suppose Raphael and Susan are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri
erica [24]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.

In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.

By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.

The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.

The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.

This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.
