a) $133,385 

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Present value each year from year 1 to 5 = $37,000

I = 12%

NPV = $133,385 

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

1. buy more salads and fewer sandwiches.

Explanation:

As we know that

\textup{MU}_{S}=\textup{Marginal utility of Sadwitches}

\textup{MU}_{SA}=\textup{Marginal utility of Salad}

\textup{P}_{S}=\textup{Price of Sanswithches}

\textup{P}_{SA}=\textup{Price of Salads}

Therefore

\frac{MU_{S}}{MU_{SA}}=\frac{P_{S}}{P_{SA}}

\frac{MU_{S}}{MU_{SA}}=\frac{\$40}{\$40}=1

Now the price ratio is

\frac{P_{S}}{P_{SA}}=\frac{\$3}{\$2}=1.5

It is probable if you rising marginal utility numbering and reduce denominator marginal utility. If you reduce their intake, the MU of a food item will raise. Such decrease in the composition would make the quantity of the food element scarce. And its usefulness goes up. The Numerator here is sandwich MU. And to increase their marginal utility, you can reduce sandwich consumption.

Salad should need just the reverse. You raise salad intake so the MU reduces. Therefore you have to eat more salads and less chicken sandwiches to maximise the utility. So, salad is replaced by sandwiches for chicken.

College football​ attendance, especially student​ attendance, has been on the decline. In​ 2016, home attendance at major colleg
puteri [66]

Answer:

Your opportunity cost of attending a game compared with the opportunity cost facing a college student 10 years ago is:

A) higher, because more games are televised today.

Opportunity costs are the cost of choosing one alternative from another.

In this case, when college students attend college football games they are unable to do other activities, not only while they are at the stadium or going to the stadium, but they are not able to purchase other goods. The cost of those alternatives that are lost are higher now because many college football games are televised now, before if you wanted to see a game you had to go to the game. So a student is now able to watch the game while doing other activities, or saving money for buying something else.

Can this change in opportunity cost account for the decline in college football​ attendance?

B) ​Yes, because these changes increase the opportunity cost of watching football games in person.

Even though opportunity costs do not involve actual cash payments, they are still important and individuals do consider them when they are choose one option over another. E.g. imagine if you had to choose between spending a considerable amount of money by attending a game (ticket, gas, beverages, etc.) or watching that game on TV and buying a few clothes instead or going on a date, etc. What option would you choose?
