Which two investment options would be best if you are 45 years old, just starting to save, and want to retire when you are 65? C

Lelu [443]

Answer:

As you are starting at 45 years until 65 years, meaning you got only 20 years. So, the best investment options I recommend are,

Certificate of Deposit
Bonds
Mutual Funds

Explanation:

First of all, in terms of investing, 20 year time span is NOT that beneficial or wise! Because as you know, to gain the true effect of compounding, it is always better to start early and go on for about 30 or 40 years, even 50! Google about "Warren Buffet"!

However, in this case, the 3 options mentioned above are much better. But I'm not saying others are bad.

Certificate of deposits, Bonds and Mutual funds are relatively less riskier and does not fluctuate much with the market.

Moreover, the interest yields are preferably higher.

Given that the interest rate remains relatively at a higher lever, these 3 options will pay of a decent contribution through compounding over the course of 20 years.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a. If demand for Bob's candles is 2500, which option should he pick?

OPTION A

and what is the cost?

$16,875

b. If demand for Bob's candles is 4500 which option should he $19,950

OPTION B

and what is the cost?

$19,950

Explanation:

Option A uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $2.75/candle.

Option B uses a combination of hand and automation with fixed costs of $15,000 and variable costs of $1.10/candle.

Option C is highly automated with fixed costs of $20,000 and variable costs of $0.75/candle.

demand = 2,500 units

option A = $10,000 + ($2.75 x 2,500) = $16,875

option B = $15,000 + ($1.10 x 2,500) = $17,750

option C = $20,000 + ($0.75 x 2,500) = $21,875

demand = 4,500 units

option A = $10,000 + ($2.75 x 4,500) = $22,375

option B = $15,000 + ($1.10 x 4,500) = $19,950

option C = $20,000 + ($0.75 x 4,500) = $23,375

Answer:

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry

In a monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold

In an oligopoly, there are few large firms
