Question

Студент во время каникул может заработать 500 руб. или пойти на курсы английского языка. Он составил смету расходов: плата за обучение ─ 200 руб., плата за учебники ─ 30 руб., транспортные расходы ─ 10 руб., расходы на питание ─ 300 руб. Чему будут равны альтернативные издержки студента?

Answer 1

Посчитаем, сколько студент потратит на курсах:

1)2000+300+400+3000= 5700 руб.

Эти деньги он мог и не затрачивать, а пойти работать ⇒

Альтер. изд = 5000 +5700 = 10700 руб.

Answer 2

Calculation of Alternative Costs

To calculate the alternative costs for the student, we need to subtract the expenses for attending the English language course from the total amount the student can earn during the vacation.

The student can earn 500 rubles, and the expenses for attending the course are as follows: - Tuition fee: 200 rubles - Textbooks: 30 rubles - Transportation expenses: 10 rubles - Food expenses: 300 rubles

To calculate the alternative costs, we subtract the total expenses from the amount the student can earn:

Alternative costs = Earnings - Expenses

Alternative costs = 500 rubles - (200 rubles + 30 rubles + 10 rubles + 300 rubles)

Alternative costs = 500 rubles - 540 rubles

The alternative costs for the student would be -40 rubles.

Please note that the alternative costs are negative, indicating that the student's expenses exceed their earnings. This means that attending the English language course would result in a net loss of 40 rubles for the student.
