Answer:

Katie Kwasi's Utility Function

The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:

= 40 units of x1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2

Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:

= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2

= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2

Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint. If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.

This means that the net effect would be a loss to society caused by the usage of products that are injurious to our ecosystem.

UK has targeted to achieve zero Carbon dioxide emission by 2050, which shows their commitment to social responsibility and we keep dumping things in the oceans because nobody acknowlegdes the damage caused by using plastic made products and also not recycling it. After plastic into the oceans the marine life suffers. The Carbon Dioxide emission is one of the main reasons why the glaciers are melting and many animals are dying annually. We unaware with our responsibilities to our society and love profits no matter if someone dies or get harmed by the operations of the company or using products that have greater externalized costs.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

1. Impact on profits:

Contribution Margin = $63,000

Less: Traceable Rent = $10,000

Less: Salary of Director = $10,000

Total avoidable fixed expenses = $20,000

Decrease in Profits = $43,000

Hence, the profits will reduce by $43,000 if the basketball program is eliminated.

3. If the allocated fixed costs can be reduced by $50,000. The program should be dropped since there will be an increase in profits by $7,000 (50,000 - 43,000). The avoidable costs and revenues should be taken into account for the purpose of this decision. If the avoidable costs are more than the revenues, the line should be dropped else not.

Hence, since after considering the reduction in allocated fixed costs, the avoidable costs are greater than revenues, the program should be dropped
