Answer:

C. $4000

Explanation:

Given that

Total opportunity cost = salary plus interest forgone, that is 50,000 + 6% of 100,000

= 50,000 + 6000 = 56,000.

Total revenue received = 60,000

Recall that

Economic profits = Revenue - (implicit + explicit cost)

And that

Implicit cost = opportunity cost = 56,000

Explicit cost = 0 (from the question, revenue covered it)

Thus

Economic profit = 60000 - 56000

= $4000

=48

The company should hire 48 workers

grigory [225]

Answer:

If you wait one year, in 45 years you will have $16,624.04 more than investing today.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Option 1:

Initial investment= $11,500

Number of years= 45

Interest rate= 4.1%

Option 2:

Initial investment= $11,500

Number of years= 44

Interest rate= 4.7%

To calculate the future value for both options, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

<u>Option 1:</u>

FV= 11,500*(1.041^45)= $70,142.41

<u>Option 2:</u>

FV= 11,500*(1.047^44)

FV= $86,766.45

If you wait one year, in 45 years you will have $16,624.04 more than investing today.

Vietnam and Ecuador both produce shrimp and rice. Vietnam can produce 180 thousand pounds of shrimp or 60 thousand pounds of ric
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(a) 3 pounds of shrimp

(b) 5 pounds of shrimp

Explanation:

Opportunity costs refers to the costs or benefits that are foregone to select some other alternative.

Vietnam can produce 180,000 pounds of shrimp or 60,000 pounds of rice in a year:

Opportunity cost of producing one pound of rice = 180,000 ÷ 60,000

                                                                                  = 3 pounds of shrimp

Ecuador can produce 130,000 pounds of shrimp or 26,000 pounds of rice in a year:

Opportunity cost of producing one pound of rice = 130,000 ÷ 26,000

                                                                                  = 5 pounds of shrimp

Therefore,

According to the principle of comparative advantage, the Vietnam has a comparative advantage in producing rice because it has a opportunity cost of producing rice than Ecuador.
