Answer:
(B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f}
Explanation:
This is an example of Leontif utility function which states that the preferences of a consumer is to a constant ratio of quantities of two or more goods in his demand bundles and having an extra unit of a single good will not increase the utility of the consumer and will make the extra unit to waste. But having more units of all the goods in the demand bundle which maintain the constant ratio will increase the utility of the consumer.
A good example usually used in economics is that of a pair of shoe. Having one right and one left of a type of shoe gives a consumer utility at a constant ratio of 1:1, and increasing each leg by multiple of one at every point in time will increase the utility of the consumer, while increasing just only one makes the utility not to change. For instance, having only two left shoe will not give the consumer any utility and make both the left shoe useless.
In the question, the ratio of cups of corn meal, denoted by c, and cups of flour, denoted by f, is 2:1. This implies that to increase the utility of the consumer, c has to increase by a multiple of 2 at every point in time while f has to increase by one at the same point in time to maintain the constant ratio of 2:1. Increasing only c by 2 or only f by 1 will maintain the constant ratio and it will lead to a waste of the increased unit of the affected commodity.
Therefore, option (B) U(c,f)=min{2c,f} is the correct answer that gives a constant ratio of 2:1 = 2c:f.

If the market is price sensitive, this means consumers react to small variations in price. In this case, if you were to lower your price to below your competitors, and the market was price sensitive, you would expect to gain more customers. Consumers are wanting to maximize their utility (get the most for the smallest amount of money). If they are price sensitive, they will look for the lowest price that still has an acceptable quality.
Answer:
4) Occurs when a corporation sells its stock for more than par or stated value.
Explanation:
When a stock sells at premium it means that its selling price if higher than its par value.
When a corporation sells its stock, the amount equal to par value must be recorded under common stock account, while any additional amount of money received (premium) must be recorded under the paid-in capital in excess of par value account.
For example, the corporation sells 100 stocks at $20 (par value of 10$ per stock)
- Dr Cash account 2,000
- Cr Common Stock account 1,000
- Cr Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value account 1,000
Answer:
C
