Answer:

Ever found yourself looking back with hindsight and wondering why you progressed with one opportunity instead of another? There is a good chance that at the time of making your decision, the Opportunity Cost of the seemingly less attractive opportunity was not fully assessed. When we don’t fully know the value of what we’re giving up in order to progress a particular course of action, we can’t make a truly informed choice. Understanding the principles of Opportunity Cost is essential for making smart business decisions. What is Opportunity Cost?Opportunity Cost is a macroeconomic term that relates to scarcity of resources. Scarcity of resources – be that time or money – means that we have to make decisions about how we use what we have. Because we have to choose, we can only have the benefits of one option, and have to forego the benefits of the other. The benefits of the foregone option are the Opportunity Cost. Or as Bizfinance.com says:“Opportunity cost is the cost of a foregone alternative. If you chose one alternative over another, then the cost of choosing that alternative is an opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is the benefits you lose by choosing one alternative over another one.” Sushi or sandwich for lunch? Sushi. So, the sandwich becomes the Opportunity Cost. Opportunity Cost in BusinessWe make plenty of choices in a business day that all have an associated Opportunity Cost. On a small scale, it might be how you choose to use the next two hours – to do a proposal for a client, or get the invoices out? One or the other. The benefits of getting the proposal to the client, or the benefits of getting the invoices out? Each time we weigh up the resources available and what to do with them, there is an Opportunity Cost of not pursuing one option.Where the principle of Opportunity Cost is of greatest value for a business is in deciding which business opportunities to pursue. For these decisions, auto-pilot absolutely has to be switched-off. It is all too easy and common to unwittingly make decisions based on preconceptions. One option seems better from the outset, and this preconception then leads to an inaccurate assessment of the alternatives.How to assess Opportunity CostWhen assessing Opportunity Cost, it’s important to keep these three things in mind: (1) to make an informed economic decision, the value of an opportunity needs to be assessed based on both the benefits and the costs associated; (2) broader benefits should be assessed as well as the monetary benefits; and (3) each option needs to be assessed based on the same criteria (i.e. don’t just assess the preferred option in isolation).For example, a construction business has two opportunities on the table. Building Contract 1 has a job value of $200,000, which would require 2000 resource hours.

Which of the following will be one of Jimmy carter's greatest achievements in forgien policy
Elanso [62]

Being elected president of the United States just once would satisfy most people, but Jimmy Carter has pushed the envelope ever since he was a farm boy dreaming of the Navy. Our AJC colleague Jim Denery drew up this incomplete list of some of Carter’s biggest accomplishments, arranged as well as possible in chronological order:

1. As a lieutenant in the Navy in 1952, Carter served under the legendary Adm. Hyman Rickover, helping to develop a nuclear-powered Navy. Bringing things full circle, Carter in 2004 christened the USS Jimmy Carter, a $3.3 billion nuclear submarine.

2. Carter left the Navy in 1953, following the death of his father, Earl, who died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 58. The elder Carter was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, and his son eventually followed him into politics. In 1962, after first winning a court fight over voter fraud, Jimmy Carter was elected to the Georgia Senate. In 1971, on his second try, Carter became Georgia’s governor, and in 1976, he won election to become the 39th president of the United States.

3. As president in 1978, Carter mediated negotiations between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to produce the Camp David Accords. Under the agreement, Israel agreed to return Egyptian territory conquered during the 1973 war, and Egypt in return extended full diplomatic recognition to Israel. Begin and Sadat won the Nobel Peace Prize for that effort.

marissa [1.9K]

During the middle ages no major advancements happened. The people were mainly focused on the church. People debate whether the Renaissance was a seperate point from the middle ages or just a high point. In either case it is signifacantly marked era in European history.
