Suppose a gardener produces both tomatoes and squash in his garden. If he must give up 8 bushels of squash to get 5 bushels of tomatoes, then his opportunity cost of 1 bushel of tomatoes is 5/2 bushels of squash.

Opportunity costs are the possible advantages which any person or investor or any company forgoes while deciding between the two options.

Opportunity costs are invisible in nature. An opportunity cost is simply by definition is the difference between the expected returns of each option and this is also the formula for doing so.

explain how the price consumers pay for a good is influenced by the price of the resources that go into making it

Reika [66]

Answer:

Here's an example

I sell bead bracelets for $5.00. The chord I use to make them is $2.50 for 5 feet. Each bracelet needs 1/4 of a foot of chord. That is $0.13 worth of chord per bracelet. The beads I use are 30 beads for $1.00. I use 5 beads in each bracelet. That is $0.17 worth of beads per bracelet. The total price of the materials per bracelet is 30 cents. Let's say It takes me 10 minutes to make a single bracelet. If I sell the bracelet at 30 cents, I would no have made a profit and would instead lose 10 minutes of my time. If I sell it for anything less, I would be losing money and time. If I want to make a profit, I need to add the money I want to make plus the cost of resources. Therefore, if I want to make a profit of $4.70, I must sell the bracelets for $5.00.

On January 1, Year 1, Greenfield, Inc. issues $100,000 of 9% bonds maturing in 10 years when the market rate of interest is 8%.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

When using a financial calculator to compute the issue price of the bonds, the applicable periodic interest rate ("I") is 3.923%

Explanation:

Hi, first, the discount interest rate that you have to choose is 8%, because 9% is the coupon rate (which in our case would be 9%/2=4.5% and this is used only to find the amount to be paid semi-annually).

Now we know we have to choose 8%, but this is an effective rate (I know this is an effective rate because no units were mentioned), and by definition it is a periodic rate, but it is not the rate that we need since the payments are going to be made in a semi-annual way, therefore we need to use the following equation.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+r(annual)]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1$

So, everything should look like this.

$r(semi-annual)=[1+0.08]^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.03923$

Therefore, the periodic interest that yuo have to use to calculate the price of the bond is 3.923%

Best of luck.

Suppose that Spain and Sweden both produce fish and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 pounds of

Darya [45]

Answer:

A) 9 Pounds of Fish Per Bottle of Wine

Explanation:

A few things should be explained

1. Opportunity Cost - this is the benefit or value of the next best choice that has to be sacrificed when a choice is made between several alternatives.

2. Comparative Advantage: This describes the advantage when a business, individual or even a nation is able to maunfacture a good or offer a service at an opportunity cost that is lower than other competitors in the business. It simply means the ability to produce a good or service at a cost cheaper than one's competitors.

Step 1: By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that Spain (ability to produce a bottle for 4 pounds of fish as compard to 10 pounds by Sweden) has a comparative advantage in the production of wine

Also Comparing the opportunity cost of wine as well, Sweden has the comparative advantage in the production of fish (10 pounds of fish as compared to 3 pounds that can be produced by Spain for a bottle of while).

Step 2: The Trading of wine and fish between Spain and Sweden

a) as long as Spain is able to get more than 4 pounds of fish (what it can produce) for every exported bottle of wine, then it can gain from a trade with Sweden.

b) Also , as long as Sweden is able to receive more than 1/10 bottles of wine for each pound of fish it exports to Spain, it can gain from the specialization and trade.

Step 3: Prices of trade (of wine in terms of fish) will allow both Sweden and Spain gain from Trade.

The correct answer is 9 Pounds of Fish per bottle of Wine. This is correct because Spain can get more than the minimum 4 pounds of fish it needs and Sweden can receive more than 1/10 the bottles of wine it needs to make a gain.
