3. Balancing utility and price Suppose Tim has to choose between purchasing high-definition televisions and juice. Which of the

following is the utility-maximizing rule that Tim should follow while choosing the optimal quantities of these two goods? (Note: In the answer options that follow, MU stands for "marginal utility.") MU of Juice=MU of HDTVs (MU of Juice)×(Price of Juice)=(MU of HDTVs)×(Price of HDTVs) MU of JuicePrice of Juice=MU of HDTVsPrice of HDTVs MU of JuicePrice of HDTVs=MU of HDTVsPrice of Juice Since juice costs little and high-definition televisions are expensive, it must follow that when people choose their optimal quantities of juice and high-definition televisions to purchase, the marginal utility they receive from the last high-definition television they buy is than the marginal utility they receive from the last gallon of juice they buy.

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

The following rule should be use to choose the optimal quantities of two goods:

\frac{MU\ of\ Juice}{Price\ of\ Juice} =\frac{MU\ of\ HDTVs}{Price\ of\ HDTVs}

Marginal utility refers to the utility that a consumer can get from the additional unit of a commodity.

\frac{MU\ of\ Juice}{MU\ of\ HDTVs} =\frac{Price\ of\ Juice}{Price\ of\ HDTVs}

From the above equation, we can predict that marginal utility from the last TV is greater than the marginal utility obtained from the last gallon of juice. We know that Juice is less expensive as compared to the price of TV.

On January 1, Duffy Enterprises issued $100,000 in bonds that mature in 10 years. The bonds were issued at face value. The bonds
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Given that,

Value of bonds issued = $100,000

Maturity period = 10 years

Bonds were issued at face value.

Interest rate = 8%

Interest is paid once per year on December 31.

Since, the bonds are issued at the face value, so there would be no premium or discount on the issue of bonds.

The cash is received by the company for issuing bonds and it is debited. We know that  bonds are a part of liabilities, so they are credited

Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

Cash A/c Dr. $100,000

     To bonds payable      $100,000

(To record the issuance of bonds)

. A company produces two products, A and B, which have profits of $9 and $7, respectively. Each unit of product must be processe
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) Linear model

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y \le 60

4x + 8y \le 40

x,y \ge 0

(b) Standard form:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y + s_1 = 60

4x + 8y +s_2= 40

x,y \ge 0

s_1,s_2 \ge 0

Explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {Hours/} & {Unit} & {Product} & {Line\ 1} & {Line\ 2} & {A} & {12} & {4} & {B} & {4} & {8} & {Total\ Hours} & {60} &{40}\ \end{array}

Solving (a): Formulate a linear programming model

From the question, we understand that:

A has a profit of $9 while B has $7

So, the linear model is:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y \le 60

4x + 8y \le 40

x,y \ge 0

Where:

x \to line\ 1

y \to line\ 2

Solving (b): The model in standard form:

To do this, we introduce surplus and slack variable "s"

For \le inequalities, we add surplus (add s)

Otherwise, we remove slack (minus s)

So, the standard form is:

So, the linear model is:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y + s_1 = 60

4x + 8y +s_2= 40

x,y \ge 0

s_1,s_2 \ge 0
