Answer:

Net Yield = 6.27%

Explanation:

This question can be broken down into 2 parts:-

1) First 16 years return, which is more complex one

2) Next 4 years, which is simpler one

1) First 16 years return:-

Interest Paid on the initial fund is 6%. Total Interest earned can be easily calculated:-

(64+63+62+....+1)*1500*0.015=46,800 use 1+2+3...+n = n(n+1)/2

Now this interest can be further invested [email protected]% anually

1500 for 3 months each month we get 7.5 for 1500 invested so series will be (7.5+7.5+7.5+15+15+15+...480+480+480).

Return will be 5.2%/12(7.5*192+7.5*191+7.5*190+15*189+15*188+15*187+.....+480*3+480*2+480*1), this can further be written as 0.0043*7.5*{1(192+191+190)+2(189+188+187)....+64(3+2+1)), on solving this we will get 13,182

We have total principal of 96000 and total interest of 59,982.

Net yield = 6.15%

2) For next 4 yaers:-

Principal will earn constant return of 6%, i.e., 96000*6%=23,040

This interest + earlier interest will earn 5.2% anually

96000*5.2%/12*(1+2+3+...+48) = 2,446.08

59,982*5.2%*4=12476.25

Total Interest earned =111,126

Net Yield = 6.27%

If your budget allowed you extra money for this month, would you choose to consume, invest, or save that money? Why? Be specific
ruslelena [56]
Personally, I would choose to save that money. The reason why is you never know - maybe something bad is going to happen and you will need that extra cash. So instead of splurging it on material things, it's better to save it for a rainy day, in my opinion. Investing is not safe, given that you may lose a lot more than you invest.

Jose and Maria work at a restaurant. Jose can make either 10 pancakes or 4 waffles; Maria can make either 8 pancakes or 2 waffle
Serga [27]

Answer:

The cost of opportunity is 4 pancakes.

Explanation:

The cost of opportunity is by definition the amount of things you don't do or buy, because of choosing doing or buying something else. In this case, Maria can make:

  • 8 pancakes
  • 2 waffles

This means that at every moment, she can choose to make or 8 pancakes or 2 waffles, but not both. If we continue with this logic, in the time she could make 1 waffle, she could have chosen to make 4 pancakes. This is her cost of opportunity.

ipn [44]

Answer:

By producing a product with a lower opportunity cost

Explanation:

Given that the law of comparative advantage states that a nation is better off when it produces goods and services for which it has a comparative advantage.

To obtain a comparative advantage means "By producing a product with a lower opportunity cost."

This implies that while many nations can produce the same products, a particular nation will have the comparative advantage over other nations if its opportunity cost of producing that specific product is quite lower compared to other nations that ks capable of producing the same product.
