The question is incomplete:
If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.
Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
b. increasing at a decreasing rate.
c. increasing at a constant rate.
d. decreasing.
Answer:
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
Explanation:
To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.
You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A friend of Mr. Richards recently won a law suit for $30 million. They can either take the payments over 10 years or settle today for cash of $25 million. Mr. Richard is optimistic that he can earn a 6% return on the money and that they should settle for $25 million today and he will invest it for them.
First, we need to find the present value of the 30 million.
To do that we need to calculate the final value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000,000*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= 39,542,385
PV= FV/(1+i)^n= 39,542,385/1.06^10= 22,080,261
B) Now we know that the present value of option B is higher. One dollar today is better than one dollar tomorrow. It is better to receive the money now to invest it.
Answer:
Investors are risk averse, which means that they are willing to invest in low risk projects or investments. In order for an investor to invest in a riskier project, he/she will expect to receive higher returns to compensate for the extra risk. US Treasury bonds are probably the safest investments in the world, that is why they yield the lowest interest rate. AAA bonds are less risky than BBB bonds, which in turn are less risky than CCC bonds. That is why AAA bonds yield a lower return than BBB bonds, and BBB bonds yield a lower return than CCC bonds.
Answer:
a. Mr Smith's orange business because it's a small fraction of the economy
Answer:
She can borrow $110,000 in a home equity loan from Acme
Explanation:
Home equity loan is available to the 80% of the Home value. sally has already a mortgage of $50,000 so she can only borrow the differential amount of Allowable loan and existing loan.
As per given data
Home value = $200,000
Allowable Loan limit = $200,000 x 80% = $160,000
Existing Loan = $50,000
Available limit of Loan = Allowable Loan limit - Existing Loan = $160,000 - $50,000 = $110,000
She can borrow $110,000 in a home equity loan from Acme
