Bob lives in San Diego and loves to eat desserts. He spends his entire weekly allowance on yogurt and pie. A bowl of yogurt is p

riced at $1.25, and a piece of pecan pie is priced at $3.75. At his current consumption point, Bob's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of yogurt for pie is 2. This means that Bob is willing to trade two bowls of yogurt per week for one piece of pie per week.
Does Bob's current bundle maximize his utility—in other words, make him as well off as possible? If not, how should he change it to maximize his utility?

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Current Consumption Marginal Rate of Substitution

= Marginal Utility (MU) of Pecan Pie ÷ Marginal Utility (MU) of Yogurt

= 2

Utility Maximized When Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS)

=  Marginal Utility of Pecan Pie ÷ Marginal Utility of Yogurt

= $3.75 ÷ $1.25

= 3

According to the analysis, Utility-maximizing MRS (3) is more than the current MRS (2). So to increase the utility bob should have to consume less pecan pie and more quantity of yogurt.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

What is likely to happen to the equilibrium wage and quantity of radiologists following these twoevents?

A) The equilibrium wage and the equilibrium quantity of radiologists fall.

B) The equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.

C) The equilibrium wage falls and the effect on equilibrium quantity of radiologists isindeterminate.D

) The equilibrium wage and the equilibrium quantity of radiologists rise

As a result of event A, there would be a decrease in the demand for radiologists. As a result, there  would be a leftward shift of the demand curve for radiologist. This would lead to a reduction in equilibrium price and quantity

As a result of event B, there would be a decrease in the supply radiologists. As a result, there  would be a leftward shift of the supply curve of radiologist. This would lead to a reduction in equilibrium quantity and a rise in equilibrium price.

Taking these two effects together, the equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Explanation:

When accounting for a subsidiary, equity method is followed, whenever the shareholding percentage is equal or more than 20%.

But here, the parent company uses, initial value method for internal reporting.

Under initial value method the value of investment in subsidiary is recorded at cost, and then adjusted at year end at fair value, this clearly shows the gain or loss at each year end from such investment as per market norms.

There is no statutory requirement to follow such initial value method for internal reporting.

The correct reason therefore, is:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

If the federal open market committee decides to increase the money supply, then
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

the Federal Reserve creates dollars and uses them to purchase government bonds from the public.

Explanation:

The money supply is increased by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee under expansionary monetary policy actions to increase the level of aggregate demand in the market and push the level of output when business activity in the economy is low and the economy is experiencing a recession.

The FOMC creates dollars and uses them to purchase government bonds from the public that injects money in the market by increasing the credit creation capacity of commercial banks. As the money supply increases, the spending capacity of consumers is increased, either by lowering the cost of debt on their credit cards or by increasing employment in the market with increased investments by firms as they borrow with greater zeal when the cost of borrowing is low.
