Answer:

10% of exam score

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative, foregone (sacrifised)  while making a choice.

Example : If a person has option to have an apple or an orange, & choses to have apple. The opportunity cost of having an apple is the sacrifised orange.

Given : A night before mid time exam, spent while watching movies - later lead to fall in exam grade from 70 % to 60%

The opportunity cost of movies watched, is the sacrifised grade of exam, which would have gotten, if the time would have spent in studying. The corresponding grade lost = 70% grade achievable - 60% grade achieved. Hence, the opportunity cost = 10% of exam score.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of year = 7

Pre-tax net returns (Fn) = $100

Growth rate = 4% = 0.04

Inflation = 3% = 0.03

Marginal tax rate = 30% = 0.3

Discount rate = 10% = 0.1

Computation:

Fn = Fo(1+g)ⁿ = 100(1.04)⁷

Fn = 131.6

Nominal net returns = 131.6(1.03)⁷

Nominal net returns = 161.85

After tax return = 161.85  (1 - 0.3)

After tax return = 113.30

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1(1-0.3) = 7%

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 113.30 (1+0.07)⁻⁷

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)
