Answer:

Jameson’s opportunity cost of producing one pound of cheese is 0,002 house(s).

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Resources are limited, therefore the decision to make a quantity of product A limits the amount of producing product B.

In this exercise, Jameson has the resources to produce 5000 pounds of cheese or 10 houses per year or a combination of both.

To calculate the opportunity cost you need to determine how much of a house is 1 pound of cheese.

Opportunity cost= 10house/5000pounds= 0,002

<u>So to produce 1 pound of cheese you need 0,002 of a house.</u>

Answer: 0.002 house

Explanation: Decisions are made you use one thing or material or resource in place of another. In other words, one resource is forgone in place of another. This is usually due to limited resource availability which leads to opportunity costs — The cost of an opportunity forgone (and the loss of the benefits that could be received from that opportunity); the most valuable forgone alternative.

Your sole focus should be on Jameson since he is the only one whose opportunity cost was mentioned.

In producing 5000 pounds of cheese he would be forgoing the 10 houses he could have made and vice versa.

Now, to produce a pound of cheese, the forgone opportunity (house) is given by total houses divided by total pounds of cheese:

10/5000 = 0.002 house.

Therefore, in producing 1 pound of cheese, Jameson has forgone the 0.002 house alternative he could have produced.

In the short run:
prisoha [69]

Answer:

C)some inputs are fixed and some inputs are variable.

Explanation:

Usually, the fixed cost are usually fixed for a some levels of activity. However, as the level of activities increases, the fixed cost may also increase.

Variable cost on the other hand changes directly as the level of activities (say number of units produced) changes.

As such, in the short run, some inputs are fixed and some inputs are variable.

Option C is right.

Consider the following scenario analysis:Rate of Return Scenario Probability Stocks BondsRecession 0.20 -4 % 16 %Normal economy
Vikentia [17]

Answer and Explanation:

a. Here it is reasonable to presume that the treasury bond generates high returns when there is a recession.  

b. The calculation of the expected rate of return and the standard deviation for each investment is shown below:

For stocks

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)  

= (29% × 0.30) + (18% × 0.50) + (-4% × 0.20)  

= 8.7% + 9% - 0.80%

= 16.9%

For bonds  

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)  

= (6% × 0.30) + (9% × 0.50) + (16% × 0.20)  

= 1.8% + 4.5% + 3.2%

= 9.5%

Now the standard deviation calculation is to be shown in the excel spreadsheet

For the stock it is 11.48%

And, for the bond it is 3.5%

c. The investment that should be prefer could be computed by determine the coefficient of variation which is shown below:

Formula i.e. used is

= Standard deviation ÷ expected return

For stock, it is

= 16.9% ÷ 11.48%

= 1.47

And, for bonds it is

= 9.5% ÷ 3.5%

= 2.71

Since for the bonds the coefficient of variation is greater so the same is to be considered

Therefore the bond should be prefer
