Answer:
Options C and E
Only Nick and Jake are optimising over his choice of fruit?
Explanation:
The marginal utility obtained from the purchase of a product is the amount of satisfaction derived from purchasing an additional unit of the product.
The utility is maximised when the satisfaction in terms of marginal utilities obtained from each product is equal to each other.
We obtain this simply by dividing the marginal utilities for each fruit by their price, and comparing them.
Dmitiri:
Apples: 8/1 =8
Pears: 10/2 =5
8/1 is not equals to 10/2
Frances:
Apples: 7/1 =7
Pears: 16/2 =8
7 is not equals to 8
Jake:
Apples: 6/1 =6
Pears: 12/2 =6
The marginal utility is equal hence Jake's choice is optimal
Latasha:
Apples: 5/1 =9
Pears: 9/2 =4.5
9 is not equals to 4.5
Nick:
Apples: 4/1 =4
Pears: 8/2 =4
The marginal utility is equal hence Nick's choice is optimal
Answer:
Option "B" is the correct answer to the following statement.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand determines the flexibility of the volume needed to adjust the price.
The demand of an individual or market becomes inelastic if it will not adjust much to increasing prices, and it is elastic for an individual or market if the demand of a particular commodity will shift a lot as prices shift.

Answer:
Maximum price to be paid for the stock = $12.43
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
<em>Hence the value of the stock would be the present value of its future dividend discounted at 15%</em>
Year PV of dividend
1 8 ×1.15^(-1)
2 4 × 1.15^(-2)
3. 2 × 1.15^(-3)
4 2 × 1.15^(-4)
PV of dividend = (8 ×1.15^-1) + (4 × 1.15^-2) + (2 × 1.15^ -3) + (2× 1.15^-4) = 12.439
Maximum price to be paid for the stock = $12.43
Answer: $107,500
Explanation:
There is an "Exclusion of gain on sale of home" provision by the IRS that allows for a single tax payer to exclude up to $250,000 from the sale of their primary home. A home qualifies as primary if the owner has lived in it for 2 years or more so Steve's home here is a primary home.
The gain he received was:
= 705,000 - 347,500
= $357,500
From this gain, $250,000 can be excluded so total gain recognized:
= 357,500 - 250,000
= $107,500
