Answer:

  • The two are not equal and not maximizing her utility.
  • Martha should more on orange juice and less on coffee

Explanation:

Martha's currently receiving 75 utils per ounce

orange juice costs 25 cents per ounce  = $0.25 per ounce

then 75 utils per ounce/ $0.25  per ounce = $300  utils from her last dollar spending on the orange juice though only 50 utils per ounce /$0.20 per ounce  = $ 250 utils per dollar from her last dollar exhausted on coffee

  • The two are not equal and not maximizing her utility.
  • Martha should more on orange juice and less on coffee.

Answer:

Explanation:

marginal utility from orange juice (MUo) = 75

marginal utility from coffee (MUc) = 50

cost of orange juice (Po) = $0.25

cost of coffee (Pc) = $0.20

Utilis per dollar from orange juice = 75 / 0.25

                                        = 300

Utilis per dollar from coffee = 50 / 0.20

                                        = 250

This shows at the present paces of utilization, the spending of Martha's yield that negligible utility per dollar is higher for juice orange when contrasted with coffee. In this manner, the all out utility for Martha isn't expanding. To maximize utility, the minor utility percent for all merchandise or goods ought to be the equivalent.

Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. just reported earnings after tax (also called net income) of $95,000,000, and a current stock price
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

$12.22 per share

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price one year from now is shown below;

Current EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of shares

= $95,000,000/5,500,000

= $17.2727

Now  

P/E Ratio = Market Price per share ÷ Earnings per share

= $14.75 ÷ 17.2727

= 0.8539 times

Now

Revised EPS = $95,000,000 × 1.25 ÷ 8,300,000

= $14.3072  

So, the Price is

= 14.3072 × 0.8539

= $12.22 per share

On December 31, 2017, Ball Company leased a machine from Cook for a 10-year period, expiring December 30, 2027. Annual payments
puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet

Lease liability at inception =                             676,000

Annual payment  made on December 2017 =(100,000)

Balance lease liability on 2017                        = 576,000

Lease liability on December 2018

Balance on 2017                                                =576,000

Factor in 10% discount on lease payment

100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 =   (42,400)

Balance on lease liability =                                  533,600

The current liability portion =

Factoring in the 10% discount =

100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 =  46,640
