Answer:

Carol should save $672 per month.

Explanation:

Savings is the process of setting aside some part of one's income for the sake of an emergency or for retirement purposes. The best way to budget one's income by economists is: to save at least 20 %, a maximum of 50% should be spent on necessities and the remaining 30% should go towards discretionary items. In our case Carol can budget her income as follows;

<em>Step 1: Determine annual savings</em>

S=20%×N.I

where;

where;

S=savings

N.I=net income

In our case;

S=unknown

N.I=$40300 a year

replacing;

S=(20/100)×40,300

S=(0.2×40,300)=$8,060

<em>Step 2: Determine monthly savings</em>

Monthly savings=annual savings/number of months in a year

where;

Monthly savings=unknown, to be determined

annual savings=$8,060

number of months in a year=12

replacing;

Monthly savings=(8,060/12)=$672 per month

Carol should save $672 per month.

Mark who lives in a country where interest rates are very​ high, goes to an ATM every day to get​ $10 of spending money. Jim​, w
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is that Mark's opportunity cost of holding cash is higher

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is nothing but the value of the next best alternative that a person has given up , when that person had the choice of selecting between any number of options. You will not find this cost to be shown in your financial  statements or balance sheets but this cost is very important in telling which option is the best to use or more profitable for a person or company.

In this question the reason why Mark uses ATM more frequently is because for him the opportunity cost for him in holding more money in hand is high as compared to the Jim whose opportunity cost of holding more money in hand is less , which means he is not not going to miss out on much of the opportunity. The reason why the opportunity cost is high for Mark is because of high rate of interest in his country , if Mark holds more money in hand then the amount of money he is going to lose on interest that he would have gained by keeping the money in bank will be high which means his opportunity cost of holding money is high.
