Answer:

The answer is: Josh's utility maximizing point is when he buys 2 pizzas and 4 burgers.

Explanation:

If Josh gets equal marginal utility per dollar spent when buying one pizza and 2 burgers, that means that every pizza and every burger give Josh 10.67 utility unit per dollar spent. So Josh can obtain maximum 16 units of utility with his budget and his purchasing options (= $24 x 0.67 units of utility per dollar). The way he can maximize his utility is by buying two packs of one pizza and two burgers per pack, since every pack will give him 8 units of utility.

LekaFEV [45]

                            = (1,773,120)(0.70) 
                            = 1,241,184
Thus, 1,241,184 will most likely prefer the locally produced food.

What is the most likely option an individual might research if saving for a short term goal
navik [9.2K]

For short term financial goals, it would be best to put the money in an investment that earns the highest interest while still remaining <em>liquid (</em>aka easy to withdraw your money when you want). In this case some good options would be a high-interest earning savings or money market account.

For short term goals you want to avoid investments that require you to tie your money up for long periods of time like bonds or certificates of deposit.
