Answer:

The maximum utility is 16 utils

Explanation:

To maximize the utility we must choose the items that gave most utils.  

Each item cost $1 and we have $4 to spend.  

1 slice of pizza: 5 utils

2 slice of pizza: 4 utils

3 slice of pizza: 3 utils

1 soda:  4 utils

2 soda:  3 utils

3 soda: 2 utils

If we display them in a decrease order and we choose  the first four rows.

1 slice of pizza: 5 utils (1 dollar)

2 slice of pizza: 4 utils  (1 dollar)

1 soda:  4 utils (1 dollar)

3 slice of pizza: 3 utils  (1 dollar)

2 soda:  3 utils

3 soda: 2 utils

Highlighted are the ones we must get to get the maximum utility.

The maximum utility is 5 utils +4 utils+4 utils+3 utils= 16 utils

klasskru [66]

Answer:

A. $54

B. 55.62

C. $70.46

Explanation:

The formula for calculating compound interest is

FV = P (1 + r ) ^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

A. $1,800 (1.03) = $1854

Interest rate = $1854 -$1,800 = $54

B. $1,800 (1.03)^2 = $1,909.62

Interest rate = $1,909.62 - $1854 = $55.62

C. $1,800 (1.03)^10 = $2,419.05

To service the interest rate, we have to determine the future value in year 9

$1,800 (1.03)^9 = $2,348.59

Interest rate = $2,419.05 - $2,348.59 = $70.46

All of the following costs are likely to decrease as a result of better quality except:
swat32

Answer:

The correct answer is (d)

Explanation:

Better quality can help to reduce many costs such as customer’s dissatisfaction cost, inspection cost and warrant and service cost. When customers don't like the quality of the product they are likely to buy the same product from somewhere else that is the dissatisfaction cost. Still, maintenance cost is likely to incur no matter how good the quality is. Maintenance cost helps to keep the product clean and fresh for long-term use.
