Trade You are thinking about buying a house. You find one you like that costs $300,000. You learn that your bank will give you a mortgage for $240,000 and that you would have to use all of your savings to make the down payment of $60,000. You calculate that the mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities would total $1,440 per month. Which of the following is true regarding your calculation of the cost of owning the house? OA. It should include your monthly income, since you must know the source of the money when trying to calculate costs. B. It should not include maintenance, since homeowners often use their own time to fix things around the house instead of calling a professional. OC. It should include the opportunity cost of the money used to make the down payment. This money could be earning interest in a bank. OD. It should not include property taxes, since that is money that goes directly to the government and is no longer in the market. Given the…

This week she has a 50 -page assignment in economics and a 150 -page assignment in political science. Because of sorority rush, she cannot devote more than 10 hours to studying these subjects this week.

On this graph, show the possibilities that are consistent with the constraints that Felicity has imposed on berself, i.e, show her choice set. (She is NOT allowed to read abead in either subject.) Label key points on your graph with their numerical values. Belinda loves chocolate and always thinks that more is better than less.

Ben enjoys doing volunteer work very much. During weekends, he often goes to the community center next to his home. He treasures the time doing volunteer work and considers it worth $305. He does not need to spend any money on transportation as he can walk to the community center and no other cost will incur if he does the volunteer work. If he does not go to the community center, he can use the same amount of time working as a private teacher and earning $450. The job as a private teacher is unpleasant to him. He is not willing to do the teaching job unless he is paid at least $X. If Ben finally decided to go to the community center, the value of X must be larger than or equal to [Answer]. (In decimal numbers, with two decimal places, please.)
