Answer: The correct answer is C. The value of the best alternative that is given up in order to do or get something.
Explanation: Opportunity cost literally means alternative thing forgone - meaning what is given up to get something <em>(sacrifice</em>). It is a concept used by economists to allocate limited resources for production, consumption, distribution and exchange of goods and services. Production of goods or services entails the creation of value. In other words, it gives a more understanding on how limited resources are allocated in order to satisfy the human insatiable desires.
For example, a student may be constrained with limited amount of pocket money, say $100 and the student wants to buy textbooks that cost $10 each or go for different outings going for $20 each. In this scenario, the student has different options: a) buy 10 textbooks and 0 outing b) buy 8 textbooks and a outing c) 6 textbooks and two outings d) 4 textbooks and three outings e) 0 textbooks and five outings. For the student to have any more of the other, he has to give up the other unit. What is given up is called opportunity cost.
Answer:
Price of stock = $78.143
Explanation:
According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
So we will discount the steams of dividend using the required rate of 11.0% as follows
Price of stock =3.15 × 1.11^(-1) +3.55× 1.11^(-2) +4.05 1.11^(3) +95× 1.11^(-3)
=78.143
Price of stock = $78.143

I believe this shouldn't affect him since he is 75 years old, past the 65 retirement age. So the $50K from this IRA can be withdrawn tax free. If he moved the funds to a checking account BEFORE 65, then it would be taxable. Check with a financial advisor.
