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.

Marlene has been living in her $120,000 home for 31 years. Because she has paid off the mortgage, she decides to save some money
Ksju [112]

Marlene will receive $5,000 in the insurance settlement.

<h3>What is an insurance settlement?</h3>

An insurance settlement is an indemnity or compensation that the insurance company pays to the insured to settle an insurance claim according to the insurance policy guidelines.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Property value = $120,000

Homeowner's coverage = $40,000

Estimated damage = $12,000

Standard coinsurance requirement threshold = 80%

Expected insurance coverage = $96,000 (120,000 x 80%)

Co-insurance penalty = 41.67% ($40,000 / $96,000 x 100)

Indemnity  = $5,000 ($12,000 x 41.67%)

Thus, Marlene will receive $5,000 in the insurance settlement.

What happens at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries
anzhelika [568]

This type of convergent boundary happens where an oceanic plate and a continental plate push together causing the oceanic plate to be forced under the continental plate into the mantle because the oceanic plate is thinner. This is called a subduction.
