Answer: B. Loss of earnings from employment

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of choosing a course of action is the returns that you would have earned from choosing the next best action.

David was employed and yet decided to quit that job and start a business. The next best thing he could have been doing was working which means that the opportunity cost was the returns from working which was his salary.

In deciding to open up his own businesses, he had to forego the opportunity costs which meant that he lost the earnings from that his employment.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept LOWER down payments and LOWER interest rates, the result will likely be an INCREASE in housing prices

Explanation:

If either interest rates or down payment amounts lower, the quantity demanded for houses will increase a little, possible leading to a small increase in the prices of houses.

If both interest rates and down payment amounts lower, then the quantity demanded for houses should increase a lot, which will result in an increase in the prices of houses.

This happened during the first decade of our century and everything was fine until the interest rates started to increase and people could no longer pay their mortgages and BOOM, the economy busted.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$210,000

Explanation:

operating income or EBIT = net sales revenue - cost of goods sold - operating expenses

in this case:

EBIT = $800,000 - $420,000 - $170,000 = $210,000

net income = EBIT - non-operating expenses - income taxes = $210,000 - $10,000 - $80,000 = $120,000
