Answer:

According to the question, the 3 acres of land can support 10 apple trees irrespective of the land quality.

But there is an issue in cultivating orange trees because it requires some land of good quality for better production results.

Opprtunity cost is sacrifying return from one project to attain the return from the another project.

This means opportunity cost of growing 30 orange tree on the best land is 30 apple tree, growing 20 orange trees on ok land is 30 apple tree and growing 10 orange trees on bad land is also 30 apple trees.  

So from the opportunity cost scenario, it is better to cultivate orange only if the price and land quality is best otherwise, apple trees are the best option here.

Answer:

Lenders loose and borrowers gain

Explanation:

Whenever inflation increases the value of money falls and technically erodes interest rates (hence real interest rate falls although nominal rate stays the same)

In the scenario, if the inflation rate rises to 5.5%, then the real interest rate falls further from 1.5% to (5.75% - 5.5%) 0.25%, demonstrating that the lender is loosing further.

Contrarily, the borrower will technically be paying lesser interest to the lender because he will be paying lesser money in value to the lender both in terms of interest and principal

Explanation:

in order to determine the needed quarterly deposit, we make use of pmt formula in excel, which is given as :

nper is number of deposits required in the fund,which number of years ,5 multiplied by 4(4 deposits per year)

pv is the present of the value of the future amount which is zero as it is not required.

Fv is the amount expected in 5 years which is $500,000

pmt= $20,578.36
