Toby’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a. Toby is not maximizing his utility

b. Toby should reduce his spending on cashew and increase his spending on peanuts.

Explanation:

a. Is Toby maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? If so, explain how you know.

Toby will maximize his utility when we have:

MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc

Where;

MUp/Pp = Marginal utility of peanut divided by price of peanut = 100/10 = 10

MUc/Pc = Marginal utility of cashew divided by price of cash = 200/25 = 8

From the above, Toby is not maximizing his utility. I am able to know this because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8). An Toby will only maximize his utility when MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.

b. If not, how should he rearrange his spending?

Since MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8), Toby should reduce his spending on cashew in order to increase MUc and increase his spending on peanuts reduce MUp until MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board with US Share as $0 and German Share as $32.80.

2-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. market price, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $39.20 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $15.20. The transfer price as US market price is more effective for the Alpha Communications.

3:a- If the German division can obtain the boards in Germany for 155, it is better for the German division because due to lack of additional shipping fee and import duty, this price is more feasible for the German division.

3:b- If the company decide to sell the US circuit boards locally and allow German division to obtain the circuit boards in Germany, then Alpha Communication will have a profit of $60 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $36.

Explanation:

1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board. The calculations are as follows:

3-a: If the German division can obtain the boards in Germany for 155, it is better for the German division because due to lack of additional shipping fee and import duty, this price is more feasible for the German division.

At the lower tranfer price of 130, the total impact of transfer is given by

Transfer Price: $130

Shippng Cost: $20

Import Duty (10% of Transfer Price): 10% x 130=0.1x130= $13

On January 2, Year 1, Jones Corporation purchased a truck for $39,000. The truck has a 5-year estimated life and a $4,000 estima

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Straight-line method:

depreciation expense year 1 = ($39,000 - $4,000) / 5 = $7,000
depreciation expense year 2 = $7,000
depreciation expense year 3 = $7,000
depreciation expense year 4 = $7,000
depreciation expense year 5 = $7,000

200 declining balance method:

depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $39,000 = $15,600
depreciation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $23,400 = $9,360
depreciation expense year 3 = 2 x 1/5 x $14,040 = $5,616
depreciation expense year 4 = 2 x 1/5 x $8,424 = $3,369.60
depreciation expense year 5 = $5,054.40 - $4,000 = $1,054.40

Sum-of-years-digits method:

depreciation expense year 1 = 5/15 x $35,000 = $11,666.67
depreciation expense year 2 = 4/15 x $35,000 = $9,333.33
depreciation expense year 3 = 3/15 x $35,000 = $7,000
depreciation expense year 4 = 2/15 x $35,000 = $4,666.67
depreciation expense year 5 = 1/15 x $35,000 = $2,333.33

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

OLEGan [10]

Answer: C. Suppose the returns on two stocks are negatively correlated. One has a beta of 1.2 as determined in a regression analysis using data for the last 5 years, while the other has a beta of %u22120.6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks during that 5-year period.

Explanation:

From the options given, the correct option is option C "Suppose the returns on two stocks are negatively correlated. One has a beta of 1.2 as determined in a regression analysis using data for the last 5 years, while the other has a beta of %u22120.6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks during that 5-year period".

Option A is wrong because when there is information that a particular stock will be strong in the future, one should not sell your high-beta stocks and buy low-beta stocks rather the low best stocks should be sold and high beta stocks should be bought.

Option B is wrong because during recession, collections' revenues, profits, and stock price tend to fall and not rise. During recession, there is decrease in economic growth, unemployment and other negative effects in the economy.

Option D and E are wrong as well as the reverse is the case in both situations. The correct option is C.
