Answer:
a) 3X + 2Y = 36
b) X = 6 , Y = 9
c) 27
Explanation:
Individual consumes : X and Y
Spends : $36 per time period
unit cost : $3 per unit for X
$2 per unit for Y
utility function : U( X, Y ) = .5XY
<u>A) Budget equation mathematically</u>
X* Px + Y* Py = M
3X + 2Y = 36
Px and Py = unit cost for X and Y
M = Total spent ( revenue )
<u>b) Values of X and Y that will maximize utility </u>
Maximum utility ( MRS ) = Px / Py ,
MRS = MUx / MUy
= Y/X = 3/2
∴ 2Y = 3X
From BC : 6X = 36 ( X = 6 plug into mathematically equation above )
∴ X = 6 , hence Y = 9
<u>c) Total utility generated per unit of time </u>
U( X,Y ) = .5XY
= 0.5 * 6 * 9 = 27
Answer:
Since elasticity is 6.4, a positive figure,it is normal good and the fact that it is greater than one means it is elastic,hence option A is correct
Explanation:
The formula for income elasticity of demand is given as:
/(new quantity-old quantity)//(old price+new price)/2)/(New income-Old income)/(old income+new income)/2)
New income=$33,000
Old income=$31,900
New quantity =5 times
Old quantity=3 times
Hence=(5-3)/(3+5)/2)/(33500-31900)/(31900+33500)/2)
Elasticity=6.45
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. As a premium expense
= ($0.460 - $0.44) × 695,000
= $13,900
b. As a difference of 3 months spot rate and spot rate
= ($0.455 - $0.44) × 695,000
= $10,425
The first one represents the premium expense for $13,900 and the second part represents the adjustment to the net income in a positive way
Answer:
b. a close corporation
Explanation:
A closed corporation refers to a company in which shares are held by select few individuals who usually are closely linked with business. Such form of a company is also referred to as family corporation.
In these form of corporations, the investments from outsiders are closed i.e from general public and thus referred to as a close corporation. Shareholding belong to owners or family members in most of the cases.
Such firms are not listed on stock exchanges and hence do not permit general public to subscribe to their shares. Wherein, any one of the shareholders desires to liquidate his share, the other members buy out such share.
In the given case, Integrated Devices Inc., a private, for profit company is wholly owned by members of the same family. Thus, it represents a close corporation.
