Answer: Attend Eastern State University when \frac{MU_{E} }{P_{E} } > \frac{MU_{W} }{P_{W} }

Explanation: A consumer optimum occurs at a point where the slope of the budget line is equal to the slope of the indifference curve. It is given by,

\frac{MU_{E} }{MU_{W} } = \frac{P_{E} }{P_{W} }

\frac{MU_{E} }{P_{E} } = \frac{MU_{W} }{P_{W} }

At this point the consumer is choosing the optimum level of both goods, however because attending both the universities is not possible. The consumer must decide to attend the best. This decision depends on which marginal utility per dollar is greater.

That is, if  \frac{MU_{E} }{P_{E} } > \frac{MU_{W} }{P_{W} } the person must attend Eastern Stare University.

\frac{MU_{W} }{P_{W} } > \frac{MU_{E} }{P_{E} } the person must attend Western Stare University.

Accounts receivable for 2018 = $570,000

Explanation:

The computation of accounts receivable for both years is shown below:-

                                2019                      2018

Sales                               $7,906,000        $6,726,000

Accounts receivable

Beginning balance          $600,000            $540,000

Ending balance                $580,000             $600,000

Accounts receivable       $590,000             $570,000

Working note:-

Average Accounts receivable for 2019 = ($600,000 + $580,000) ÷ 2

= $590,000

Average Accounts receivable for 2018 =  ($540,000 + $600,000) ÷ 2

Constance tells Jill, her best employee, that: "Your work is so good, if I like what you do over the next six months, I’ll give
frozen [14]

Jill will not win because this is an illusory promise without consideration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Even if Jill sues his boss Constance for not giving him the bonus that she had promised to give if her employee, Jill works with great focus and dedication, he will probably not win the case.

The reason for this is that it was just a promise and not a contract signed between that employer and that employee. It was just an illusory promise which is not enough to sue the person or the employer. So there was no benefit of doing it.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Alternatives                                          Airport at X Airport at Y

Buy land at X                                                 6             -14

Buy land at Y                                               -21             12

Buy land at X and Y                               -15                 -2      

Do nothing                                                 0              0

probability                                                   0.55              0.45

Payoff if you buy land at X = (0.55 x 6) + (0.45 x -) = -3

Payoff if you buy land at Y = (0.55 x -21) + (0.45 x 12) = -6.15

Payoff if you buy land at X and Y = (0.55 x -15) + (0.45 x -2) = -9.15

Payoff for doing nothing = 0

The best option is simply doing nothing. The risks are too high, the potential losses are very large and the benefits are really low.
