Answer:
D) being unable to engage in all three of the above activities.
Explanation:
An opportunity cost is the cost (or lost benefit) of choosing one activity or investment over another. In this case, if the student decides to attend afternoon class, he/she will not be able to benefit from:
- taking a nap
- seeing a movie with a friend
- studying for next morning's test
So all the three activities represent the opportunity cost of attending afternoon class.
Answer: $1639.3
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Bank A quotes a bid rate of $0.300 and an ask rate of $0.305 for the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and that bank B quotes a bid rate of $0.306 and an ask rate of $0.310 for the ringgit.
The profit for an investor that has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage goes thus:
Purchasing Malaysian ringgit (MYR) from bank A at the ask rate will be:
= $500,000/$0.305
= 1,639,344.3
Selling the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) at bank B based on the ask rate will be:
= 1,639,344.3 × 0.306
= $501,639.3
The profit for an investor that has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage will be:
= $501,639.3 - $500,000
= $1639.3
Answer:
d. Yes, the offeror must be a merchant, pursuant to the UCC definition of merchant.
Explanation:
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) establishes that firm offers can only be made by merchants. They also apply only to the sale of goods, but the baseball card is a type of good.
The problem is that Debbie is not probably a merchant. In order for her to be considered a merchant, she would need to be in the business of buying and selling baseball cards on a regular basis.
Answer:
D) M2 is the best definition of money as a medium of exchange.
