Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

An inferior good is a good that has a negative income elasticity. It means that when consumer's income increases the demand for inferior goods decreases and vice versa.

If macaroni and cheese is an inferior good, then an increase in consumer's income will cause the demand for macaroni and cheese to decrease. This decrease in demand will cause the demand curve to shift to the left.

Michael is maximizing utility by consuming three colas at $3 a piece and four hot dogs. The last cola gave him 300 units of util
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

C. $5

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the benefit gained from consuming an additional unit of a product or service.

According to the question, Michael is maximizing utility when Marginal Utility / Price of colas is equal to Marginal Utility / Price of hotdogs. Marginal utility can thus be found by solving the following equation for X (the price of hot dog)

MU/P of Colas = MU/P of hot dogs

300/3 = 500/X

3/300 = X/500

X = (3/300) x 500

X = 0.01 x 500

X = 5

Hence, the price of each hot dog is $5.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The loss on equipment recognized by Devin on its internal accounting records for 2017 is $9,000

Explanation:

By using the given information which is mentioned in the question, first we have to calculate the book value of equipment.

So, the book value of the equipment is equals to

= Cost price - accumulated depreciation

= $120,000 - $66,000

= $54,000

Now we can calculate the loss or gain on sale of equipment which is equals to

= Sale price - book value

= $45,000 - $54,000

= - $9,000

Since, the amount shows negative which means the company has suffered a loss of $9,000 on equipment

The other things like net income of 2017 and 2018 is irrelevant because it tells the net income of overall company not for equipment. So, it is not being considered while computation

Hence,  the loss on equipment recognized by Devin on its internal accounting records for 2017 is $9,000
