Answer:
Should purchase or consume more Alpha than Beta.
Explanation:
Marginal utility per dollar spent can be calculated as,
Alpha = 30/5 = 6/$ spent
Beta = 40/10 = 4/$ spent
Therefore maximizing utility in a given budget constraint would be achieved by buying or consuming more of Alpha.
Answer:
A Bond's current market value represented by 
is the present value of a bond as on today. Present value of a bond is it's future cash flows in the form of coupon payments and principal repayment discounted at investor's expectation in the market also referred to as Yield to maturity(YTM).
Present value of a bond is given by the following equation,
where C= Annual coupon payments
YTM = Yield to maturity/ cost of debt/ market rate of return on similarly priced bonds
RV = Redemption value of bond
n = number of years to maturity
<u>a. A bond's coupon rate is higher than it's yield to maturity, then the bond will sell for more than face value.</u>
Hence, if the company pays more interest than what is paid in the market on similarly priced bonds, such bonds shall sell at more than their face value.
<u>b. If a bond's coupon rate is lower than it's yield to maturity, then the bond's price will increase over it's remaining maturity.</u>
Similarly, if a bond pays lower rate of interest than the market rate of interest on similarly priced bonds, the bond shall sell at lower than it's face value and the price will increase over the remaining life of such bonds.

Answer: Opportunity cost of returning to college next year is $1,000,000.
Explanation: Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best alternative sacrificed or foregone. When the athlete chooses to join college he is sacrificing his income that could be earned from playing the game. The player has the option of playing for the minor league baseball team for $1,000,000 or for European professional football team for $500,000. The person thus has a choice between playing for the minor league baseball team (since it is the highest paying) or going to college. Thus the opportunity cost of going to college will be $1,000,000.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Since the average copier was sold $3000
Budgeted 175 copier was sold $3200
Therefore $3000+$3200= $6200
6200*180=$1116000
We subtract it from the 180*$3000=$54000
$1116000-$540000
=$576000
