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.

A monopolist sells in two geographically divided markets, the East and the West. Marginal cost is constant at $50 in both market
noname [10]

Answer:

A) QE = 400, PE = 250

     QW = 325, PW = 375

b) east market has more elastic market demand

Explanation:

Given data :

Marginal cost = $50 ( both markets )

demand and marginal revenue in each market are given differently

a) Determine/find the profit-maximizing price and quantity in each market

For east market :

50 = 450 - QE

hence QE = 450 -50 = 400

since QE = 400 ( quantity for east market )

400 = 900 - 2PE

PE = 250 ( PROFIT maximizing price for east market )

For west market

50 = 700 - 2QW

Hence QW = 325

since QW = 325

325 = 700 - pw

PW = 375

B) The market in which demand is more elastic is the east market because the quantity demanded is higher and also the profit maximizing price is lower as well

Find the present value of $19,000 in 11 months at 5.1% interest
dem82 [27]

Answer:

$19,886.396

Explanation:

Given :

Interest rate = 5.1% = 5.1

Principal = $19000

Period = 11 months = (11/12)year

The present value of 19000 in 11 months at 5.1% interest Can be obtained using the relation:

PV = P(1 + r)^n

PV = 19000(1 + 0.051)^(11/12)

PV = 19000(1.051)^(11/12)

PV = 19000 * 1.0466524

PV = 19886.396

Hence, the present value is $19,886.396
