Assume that it takes 15 minutes to travel to the local department store, 30 minutes to travel to the store across town, and 60 minutes to travel to the store in the neighboring city. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.

Store Opportunity Cost of Time (Dollars) Price of a Suit (Dollars per suit) Total Cost (Dollars)
Local Department Store ___________________ 114 _________

Answer:

Juanita should purchase the suit at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.

Explanation:

three options:

  1. local store 15 minutes away and a price of $114
  2. across town 30 minutes away and a price of $86
  3. neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $60

Juanita makes $30 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:

total economic cost:

  • local store = $114 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $144
  • across town = $86 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $131
  • neighboring city = $60 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $135

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($131)

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Value of the bond = $862.013

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment and the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of the bond can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

<em>Calculate the PV of Interest payment </em>

Present value of the interest payment

PV = Interest payment × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

Interest payment = $40

PV = 40 × (1 - (1.05)^(-12×2)/0.05)

= 40 × 13.7986

= 551.945

Step 2

<em>PV of redemption Value </em>

PV of RV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

= 1000 × (1.05)^(-12×2)

= 310.067

Step 3

<em>Calculate Value of the bond  </em>

= 551.94567 + 310.067

=862.01

Value of the bond = $862.013

Answer:

Production Oriented or Mass Production Era.

Explanation:

This marketing era took place around the mid 1800s and lasted until the early 1920s. It was basically a result of the industrial revolution where mass production started and manufacturing costs started to decrease. Most businesses would produce only one or very few types of products, and most business people thought that if they were to manufacture something, someone would buy it. Since this type of mass production was something totally new, people had lots of products available and relatively cheap for the first time, and indeed most of the production was sold that way.
