Answer:

$12.5 per gram

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost which is:

  • Future related cost
  • Cash flow in nature
  • Incremental Cost or Differential

In simple words, opportunity cost is the benefit lost due to given up another best alternative.

To reduce the pollution level from 354 to 250 gram, the price of new vehicle will increase by $1300.

Hence

The increase in price per gram = $1,300 / (354 - 250) = $12.5 per gram

This is the opportunity cost per gram increase in Carbon dioxide emission which the companies will have to bear if they don't opt to environmental free vehicles.

You have been investing $300 a month for the last 8 years. Today, your investment account is worth $43,262. What is your average
sdas [7]

Answer:

Having invested $ 300 per month for the past 8 years, the total accumulated investment amount would be $ 28,800 (8 x 12 x 300). Now, having a total amount of $ 43,262, we find an increase of $ 14,462, which corresponds to the interest accumulated during said period. To know the percentage of the increase, we must perform a cross multiplication:

28,800 = 100

14,462 = X

(14,462 x 100) / 28,800 = X

1,446,200 / 28,800 = X

50.21 = X

As we can see, the investment had an increase of 50.21% during these 8 years. Now, the average increase in investment arises from the division of the total percentage of increase by the number of years. So, given that 50.21 / 8 = 6.27, the average annual return rate of this investment is 6.27%.
