Answer:

scarcity.

Explanation:

Scarcity can be defined as an economical problem that gives the relationship between non-renewable (limited) resources and the limitless wants and needs of consumers.

Basically, it's very important that producers of goods and services make decisions that would help them on how to efficiently allocate scarce or limited resources, in order to meet the unending requirements, wants and needs of consumers.

In Economics, an example of scarcity is that most of the resources used for the manufacturing of finished goods and services are nonrenewable, and as a result, the wants and needs of the end users or consumers are limited. Thus, economists would advise that economies should decide on what to produce, how to produce, when to produce and for whom to produce due to the finite and limited nature of resources i.e the concept of scarcity.

Rearden Metals is considering opening a strip mining operation to provide some of the raw materials needed in producing Rearden

melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The initial purchase of the land and the associated costs of opening up mining operations will cost $100 million today. The mine is expected to generate $16 million worth of ore per year for the next 12 years. At the end of the 12th year Rearden will need to spend $20 million to restore the land to its original pristine nature appearance.

We need to sum each cash flow until the total initial investment is paid:

Number of years= 100,000,000/16,000,000= 6.25 years

To be exact:

0.25*365= 95 days

It will take 6 years and 95 days to recover the initial investment.
