Answer:
b. the more wealth she has, the less utility she gets from an additional dollar of wealth.
Explanation:
Utility is the satisfaction derived from a good. Total Utility is the total satisfaction from all units of a good. Marginal Utility is the additional satisfaction from an additional unit of a good.
The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that : As consumer gets more & more of a good, the additional utility (satisfaction) from each successive unit keeps on declining. It implies that marginal utility decreases, & total utility increases at a decreasing rate.
Therefore : A person has more marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from an additional dollar, if he has less money (dollars). And, relatively less marginal utility from an additional dollar if he has more money (dollars).
Example : A rich person having millions of dollars would get less marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from gaining a single dollar, than a poor person having few dollars.

Explanation:
The company’s 2010 change in net working capital will be calculated thus:
Net working capital = current assets - current liabilities
For 2009, net working capital will be:
= $2,584 - $1,191
= $1393.
For 2010, net working capital will be:
= $2,644 - $1,048
= $1596
Change in net working capital will be:
= $1393 - $1596
= ($203)

Answer:
Option (a) and (b) are considered or correct.
Explanation:
Under the following two conditions, a firm in a perfectly competitive market produces at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost:
(i) Minimum AVC < Price < minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, a firm may suffer a loss but it will be able to cover its minimum average variable cost. Hence, this firm continue operating in this market and if he shut down its operation then he may suffer a larger loss. Therefore, it chooses to continue operating under this market conditions.
(ii) Price > minimum ATC : Yes
In this case, the price received by the seller is greater than the minimum average total cost. Therefore, the firm is able to cover all of its cost of production and earning an economic profit. Hence, it obviously chooses to continue its operation.
The third option is not considered here because in this case, the firm won't be able to cover its variable cost.
