Answer:

B: The net profit of installing the garage.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is the next best thing that you could be doing but chose to give up in order to do something else. For example, if I chose to spend the day studying for a test, I won't have as much time to watch cat videos, hang out with my friends, or work on the website I'm coding. Since I love coding more than anything in the world, the time I could've spent coding is the opportunity cost of choosing to study.

A and C can be safely eliminated because they are describing the business expenses of the contractor, not what they could be missing out on if they choose to renovate the bathroom. In this case, D wouldn't make any sense since they wouldn't be missing out on any profits from the bathroom project at all. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The contractor can't be in two places at once, and by choosing the bathroom, they're passing up the opportunity to work on the garage and any resulting profits.

Explanation:

the price formula for the future years is:

v = 301000 + 960 t^{2}

while it is adjusted for inflation at:

v \times e^{-0.05t}

so the complete formula for value is:

\frac{301000 + 960 t^{2}}{e^{0.05t}}

Now, we can derivate and obtain the roots

Getting at a root exist at the 29th year.

When a firm uses K units of capital and L units of labor, it can produce Q units of output with the production function Q = K√L.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

STC = 20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25*[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2

Explanation:

We are given:

K units of capital and L units of labor.

•Each unit of capital cost = 20

• Each unit of labor cost =25

• Level K is fixed at 5 units

We are told production function Q = K√L

Using the production functions and the values given, we can get that Q=5√L.

To find Q, the amount of labor will be given as:

L = \frac{Q^2}{25}

Therefore, the Short run total cost function (STC) will be:

20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2
