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.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Hi

The insurance company should not pay as it is explained that the insurance policy did not cover against vandalism or theft, and a fire is the product of an act of vandalism.

Explanation:

To avoid this type of problem, there are the multi-risk policies of the home, which offer coverage for damages due to vandalism, to cover the damages caused by malicious intent by third parties. This coverage usually includes damages caused by people other than the policyholder, their relatives, employees or people living in the insured home. Some insurers include damages caused by tumultuarial actions in activities of meetings or demonstrations, as well as the existence of legal strikes, unless the aforementioned actions had the character of a mutiny or popular uproar. But we must consider that not all vandalism situations are covered by insurance, and situations such as graffiti, inscriptions, graffiti drawings are usually not covered, but depend on each specific policy.
