To get started, Tom spent $300,000 of his own savings to purchase land and equipment to be used for the farm. In 2015, Tom could have earned a 10 percent return by investing in stocks of other business with risk levels similar to his farm.
Answer the following questions using the information given above. Be sure to show each step of your calculations.
1.) What are the total explicit costs for 2015?
2.) What are the total implicit costs for 2015?
3.) What are the total economic costs for 2015?
4.) What is accounting profit for 2015?
5.) What is economic profit for 2015?
6.) Using only your analysis in question 1-5, would you say that Tom made a good decision to leave is job to start the organic farm? Explain.

Why is the confidence interval substantially longer
: Verify that trimci returns a 0.95 confidence interval for the 20% trimmed mean, using R, equal to (7.16, 22.84). Now use trimci to get a confidence interval for the mean, resulting in (8.50, 33.99). Why is the confidence interval substantially lon..
