Answer:
B. Increasing the production of a good requires larger and larger decreases in the production of another good.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to the foregone units of production of a good in exchange for producing units of another good.
Marginal cost on the other hand refers to additional cost incurred when an additional unit is produced.
Marginal opportunity cost relates to the additional opportunity cost incurred when additional unit of second good is produced in exchange for foregoing or sacrificing units of production of first good.
Increasing marginal opportunity cost would mean as more and more units of good A are produced, for each extra unit of production of Good A, higher units of production of Good B are sacrificed i.e larger and larger decrease in the production of another good.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": economists include opportunity cost in zero economic profit, while accountants do not include opportunity cost in zero profit.
Explanation:
Normal profit is an economic term that means zero economic profits. To an economist, this is normal since total revenue equals total cost which includes both explicit and implicit costs. It differs from the accounting profit or zero profits since the latter does not take into consideration implicit cost.
Answer:
C) 0.0 percent
Explanation:
The net return on any investment is what we receive from the investment in addition to the purchase price paid.
In the given instance the investor pays $22.50 per share as an investment cost, to acquire such shares. Number of shares purchased = 500
Now at the end of the period the shares are sold for $21 each
Also the dividend per share received is $1.50
Thus, total return = $21 + $1.50 = $22.50 per share.
This is exact same as that of the investment price.
Thus net return = Total benefits - Cost = $22.50 - $22.50 = $0
Since net return is $0 the value of return in percentage shall also be $0.
