"Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is $120,190 for sure. What is the opportunity cost of capital for this investment?"

a. U.S. Treasuries with 1 year to maturity

Explanation:

The Government guaranteed the price of the carbon and the payoff is to be one year later.

The opportunity cost will therefore be a similar Government security to the payoff term of the carbon sale which is 1 year.

The Government security with a similar payoff term is the US Treasury bill with 1 year left till maturity and this will be the opportunity cost because instead of the Government issuing and paying out that security they will instead pay for the carbon.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
