Answer:

To find the opportunity cost of capital for a safe investment, managers and investors look at current interest rates on safe debt securities.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost of capital refers to the return that could have been earned by investing in another investment opportunity with comparable risk.

Answer:

Opportunity cost of the capital is usually (if we consider the tax implications on the returns demanded by the lenders) the return required by the investors

Explanation:

So assume that I am appraising a project and I need an investment of round about 1 million dollars. If I fund this investment from loan which costs me 10% and also increases the financial cost then its opportunity cost is 10% interest and additional risk increased. However I also have an offer from one of my friends who is willing to invest in this project and is offering me $0.5 million equity investment and demands 20% return on this investment alongwith lower financial risk. So the opportunity cost of this equity investment is 20% cost of equity along with lower financial risk.

We can find opportunity cost of capital for a safe investment from the yield of government gilts or treasury bond's yield on investment.

According to the eNotes, how many TEUs would you have with 70 twenty-foot containers and 30 forty-foot containers?
AfilCa [17]

Here are the things needed to be considered:

20 feet= 1 TEU

40 feet= 1 TEU

<span>For 70 twenty-foot containers, multiply it with the conversion factor (1 TEU/1 twenty-foot) then cancel the twenty-foot unit. The answer is 70 TEUs. As for 30 forty-foot containers, you apply the same process but you use the 2nd conversion factor which is (2 TEUs/ 1 forty-foot). The answer is 60 TEUs. </span>

<span>So 70+ 60= 130 TEUs

Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it
Setler [38]

Answer:

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.

Explanation:

three options:

  • local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103
  • across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89
  • neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63

Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:

total economic cost:

  • local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $111
  • across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $105
  • neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $95

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($105)

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
