Explanation:
Answer: A target price for farm crops is an example of price floor because it’s fixed ahead of harvests with the interest of farmers in mind.
Explanation: A quick definition of both concepts would be of help. A price floor is usually fixed by government legislation and it ensures that the price of a commodity or service does not fall below a certain minimum. In the case of farm crops, a floor price makes sure that the farmers are guaranteed a level of profit in case there is poor harvest for any reason whatsoever. The price floor must be fixed above the equilibrium price for this to be effective.
A target price is an expectation of the future price of commodities or services, and hence prices are fixed ahead of the harvest in the case of farm crops. This is so because as explained earlier, future conditions might change and become unfavorable, therefore making the current market price unprofitable for farmers. If for example, a sack of potatoes currently sells for $30, the government may fix the price floor ahead of the harvest season at $45 per sack. This implies that after harvesting farmers can still sell at $30. However if the harvest turns out to be bad perhaps due to natural disasters, pests or fungal attacks, etc, then the farmers can go ahead and sell at $45 and possibly higher. No farmer is allowed to sell below $45 (since that is the ‘floor’). That way, farmers would still have some profit guaranteed and would be encouraged to remain in the farming business.
Answer:
Going to college has an opportunity cost of not working or working less. Buying a car has an opportunity cost of not being able to save as much. Buying a house could have an opportunity cost of not being able to travel. Opportunity cost is the choice you give up when selecting something else.

Answer:
The value of the option to wait is $0.70,option A.
Explanation:
In calculating the value of the option to wait,I discounted all cash flows under both alternatives, using the discount rate of 12% as given in the question.
Option to start now gives net present value(positive return ) of $360.64 while the other one gives $361.34,invariably option to wait one year gives $0.70($361.34-$360.64) more than the option to start now.
The formula used in the calculating present value is PV=FV(1+r)^n
Where PV=present value
FV=future value
r=rate of interest
n=number of year
Find attached spreadsheet for detailed calculations.
Answer:
r = 0.080528395 = 8.05%
Winner's Prize at 2044: $ 15,215,114.02
Explanation:

Principal 160
Amount 1,610,000
time: 2015 - 1896 = 119
![160 \: (1+ r)^{119} = 1,610,000\\ r = \sqrt[119]{1,610,000 / 160} -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=160%20%5C%3A%20%281%2B%20r%29%5E%7B119%7D%20%3D%201%2C610%2C000%5C%5C%20r%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B119%5D%7B1%2C610%2C000%20%2F%20160%7D%20-1%20)
r = 0.080528395
If the same rate for the winner's prize is being keep by 2044 the winner will get:
Principal 1,610,000.00
time 29.00 (2044 - 2015)
rate 0.08053
Amount 15,215,114.02
