Answer:
The marginal utility of the fourth plate is zero or below zero
Explanation:
The reason is that the law of diminishing marginal utility says that the marginal utility of a product declines upon continuous consumption of that item. This means that the utility before the consumption of first buffet was high and when the second buffet was consumed by the same person the utility was further reduced and so on. This means that the utility must be positive which if is higher enough then the customer is will to pay and eat the buffet again. If it is zero or below zero the customer is not willing to pay for the buffet. This is the reason the person doesn't ordered the item again.
You can not eat the same buffet for all the 365 days. This means the taste of a tasty food fades away after some time or I would say that the utility is gone. Same is the case when you will keep using cellphone for a period and then sell it or dispose it because the item doesn't entertains you or in other words the utility has significantly fallen and is almost zero or below zero.
Answer:
Radar's additional income for accepting the order is calculated as follows:
Sales - 320 x $460 = $147,200
less Cost of Sales = 320 x $180 + $48,000 = $105,600
Additional Income = $41,600
Explanation:
The additional income of $41,600 is $147,200 - $105,600, which is the result of deducting cost of sales from Sales.
The cost of sales includes the variable cost per bike, including the incremental fixed costs ($48,000) to make this order.
To make a decision whether to accept an order or not, the company needs to consider all variable costs, including the incremental fixed costs. The resulting additional income is what is available to offset the fixed costs.
Answer:
this would cause total costs to Increase and the break-even quantity to Increase.
Explanation:
Total Cost is the Sum of All Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing Cost of a product.
Advertising expense before adjustments are at $500. The cost of advertising does not vary with the sales quantities therefore this is a fixed cost.
Therefore an Increase in the advertising expense causes an increase in Total cost figure.
Break even quantity is a function of Fixed Costs divided by Contribution per unit.The break even quantity will definitely change. By increasing the fixed costs (<em>Advertising Expense</em>), the Break even quantity will increase.

Bob and Sally can claim an American Opportunity (AO) credit for both of their children, Del and Owen.
Del's AO credit is $2,500 (100% of the initial $2,000 qualifying expenses and 25% of the next $2,000 qualifying expenses).
Owen's AO credit is the same as Del's, $2,500.
The total American Opportunity credit claimed is $5,000 ($2,500 + $2,500)
