It is not clear why taking marijuana damages a man's sperm count, but researchers told Livescience, it may be linked to how THC - the drug's psychoactive ingredient - interacts with specific receptors in the testes.
Annual Total Cost. The annual total list price cost to go to Independence University was $25,408 for the 2014/2015 academic year. The cost is the same for all students regardless of Utah residence status as there is no in-state discount. Students residing at home with parents providing food and housing can expect a total cost of $16,968.
The Costs of Production. In economic terms, the true cost of something is what one has to give up in order to get it. This includes explicit monetary costs of course, but it also includes implicit non-monetary costs such as the cost of one's time, effort, and foregone alternatives.or example, if the total cost of producing 3 units of output is $15 and the total cost of producing 4 units of output is $17, the marginal cost of the 4th unit (or the marginal cost associated with going from 3 to 4 units) is just ($17-$15)/(4-3) = $2.
