Answer:
b. the more wealth she has, the less utility she gets from an additional dollar of wealth.
Explanation:
Utility is the satisfaction derived from a good. Total Utility is the total satisfaction from all units of a good. Marginal Utility is the additional satisfaction from an additional unit of a good.
The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that : As consumer gets more & more of a good, the additional utility (satisfaction) from each successive unit keeps on declining. It implies that marginal utility decreases, & total utility increases at a decreasing rate.
Therefore : A person has more marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from an additional dollar, if he has less money (dollars). And, relatively less marginal utility from an additional dollar if he has more money (dollars).
Example : A rich person having millions of dollars would get less marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from gaining a single dollar, than a poor person having few dollars.
A) Direct labor hrs for car wheels = estimated wheels *direct labor per wheel
40,000 *1hr = 40,000
Direct labor hrs for Truck
10,000 * 3hr= 30,000
total direct labor hrs 40,000+30,000 = 70,000 hrs
Overhead rate is total est oh cost/ total direct labor hrs
770,000/70,000= 11.00
B) Car truck wheels 40,000*11 =440,000
Truck wheels 10,000*11=110,000
<span>The price of coffee rose sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same can be a result of several situations and therefor there are several explanations that are possible:
</span><span>Demand increased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.
</span><span>Demand increased, but supply decreased at the same time.
</span>Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.
Answer:
a) $3
b) $2
c) 1449
Explanation:
Given:
The cost for a carton of milk = $3
Selling price for a carton of milk = $5
Salvage value = $0 [since When the milk expires, it is thrown out ]3
Mean of historical monthly demand = 1,500
Standard deviation = 200
Now,
a) cost of overstocking = Cost for a carton of milk - Salvage value
= $3 - $0
= $3
cost of under-stocking = Selling price - cost for a carton of milk
= $5 - $3
= $2
b) critical ratio =
or
critical ratio =
or
critical ratio = 0.4
c) optimal quantity of milk cartons = Mean + ( z × standard deviation )
here, z is the z-score for the critical ration of 0.4
we know
z-score(0.4) = -0.253
thus,
optimal quantity of milk cartons = 1,500 + ( -0.253 × 200 )
= 1500 - 50.6
= 1449.4 ≈ 1449 units
The answer is Communication
