consumption and nothing else was produced. In 2013, a kilo of apples sold for $7 while a kilo of bananas sold for
$10. In 2014, Adanac produced only 10 kilos of apples but produced 45 kilos of bananas. In 2014, prices were $8 per
kilo of apples and $8 per kilo of bananas. Using 2013 prices, economists estimate that potential GDP is $700 in 2014

Beyond that, it is not expected to affect your earnings. Suppose the interest rate is 10% Use the preceding information to calculate the present value of the wage increase resulting from the training program. Then decide whether the investment is worthwhile, given the present value of the cost of the training program. At this interest rate, the present value of the increase in wages is about the training. Thus, from a strictly monetary viewpoint, you than the present value of the total cost of , which is participate in the training program.arrow_forward

A) Because the company has no need of barley, the opportunity should not be taken. B) Because the opportunity does not meet the company's need for wheat, the opportunity should not be taken. C) Because the value of the opportunity is positive, the opportunity should be taken. D) Because the value of the opportunity is negative, the opportunity should not be taken.arrow_forward
