Answer: 0.52

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is obtained from a good or from an activity  is foregone by choosing some other alternative.

It was given that a family spends its entire budget either on vegetables or frozen pizzas.

So, the opportunity cost of a can of vegetables = \frac{45}{85}

                                                                                      = 0.5294 units of frozen pizzas

This means that opportunity cost of spending on a can of vegetables is 0.52 units of frozen pizzas.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

9.69%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Net income = $4819

Total asset = $38,200

Taxable income = $6,100

Dividend payout ratio = 30% = 0.3

The internal growth rate is calculated thus ;

(Return on asset × Retention ratio)/[1-(Return on asset × Retention ratio)]

Return on asset = (Net income / total asset)

Return on asset = ($4,819 / $38,200)

Return on asset = 0.12615

Retention ratio = 1 - Dividend payout ratio

Retention ratio = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

Hence internal growth rate :

(0.12615 × 0.7) / 1 - (0.12615 × 0.7)

0.088305 / 1 - 0.088305

0.088305 / 0.911695

= 0.0968580

= 0.0968580 × 100%

= 9.685%

= 9.69% ( 2 decimal places)

Economic principles are generalizations relating to __________ tendencies in economic behavior or to the economy itself_______
DedPeter [7]

Answer: Average

Explanation:

<em>Economic principles are generalizations relating to </em><em><u>average</u></em><em> tendencies in economic behavior or to the economy itself.</em>

<em />

It is impossible to explain the individual choices people or companies make and yet it still needs to be done so that the economy can be studied and planned. For this reason economic principles use generalizations to study and explain the economy based on the behavior of the majority of people.

Essentially they are based on perceived rational tendencies of what is expected of people and firms. This is why some economic principles are supported by one group of economists and not by others. If the principles applied to all, it would not be the case.
