The answer is A.
There is risk involved in owning a stock, and many unknown variables. The value of the stock could plummet, putting your principal investment at risk. There is no guarantee of return on investment, and even well-established companies have had to cut dividends during difficult times.
In the case of bonds, you are guaranteed by the bond issuer that your principal and the agreed-upon interest will be paid at a defined time. Excluding the event of bankruptcy (and still likely in this case), you are virtually guaranteed that the entity will pay you according to the agreed-upon terms. For this reason, bonds are considered a much lower risk investment.
Why then, do many people choose to invest at least part of their portfolio in stocks? Stocks generally have a much high expected return, and many people consider this increased return worth the increased risk that with it.
Answer: $2,98,491.106 ⇒ Total cost of production
Explanation:
Given that,
Total cost of production at x = 1000 units
C(x) = 2000 + 170x + 4
C(1000) = 2000 + 170(1000) + 4
= 2000 + 170000 + 126491.106
= $2,98,491.106 ⇒ Total cost of production
So, above is the cost of producing 1000 units.
The main thing we can do to manage the problem of scarcity is to not overspend.
Scarcity happen when the number of demand in our society heavily outnumber the amount of resources available. By observing our consumption behavior today, we will notice that a lot of people spend money to buy more goods or services that they actually need.
If we control this overspending behavior, not only people who overspend can save some of their money, there will be a lot of goods/services left for other people.
