Answer:

50

Explanation:

In maximizing utilty the ratio of marginal utilities of both goods, which is called the Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS), must be equal to the prices ratio.

Here, the ratio of prices (cupcakes over cheese) is 3/5. So, the MRS (marginal utility of cupcakes (Ucc) over marginal utility of cheese(Uch))) must be 3/5.

As Ucc=30, then 30/Uch = 3/5. So, Uch = 50.

A local salesman receives a base salary of $675 monthly. If his total sales receipts for the month exceed $1950, he also receive
Degger [83]

Answer:

The $21,122 would he have to sell in a month if he wants to have a monthly income of $2400

Explanation:

In this question we assume the value which is shown below

Let us assume the amount which is sell be X

So, the equation would be

Commission × (Sale amount - sales amount) + Base salary = Monthly income

0.09 × (X - $1,950) + $675 = $2,400

0.09X - $176 + $675 = $2,400

0.09X = $2,400 + $176 - $675

0.09X = $1,901

So, X = $21,122.22

X = Sale amount = $21,122.22

Western Electric has 27,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $69 and a rate of return of 13.50 percent
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

10.14%

Explanation:

1) Value of common stock outstanding is $69 x 27,000 = $1,863,000

  Value of preferred stock = $90 x 6,800 = $612,000

      Value of debt = 374000 x 2.06 = $770,440

Total value = 1863000 + 612000 +770440 = $3245440

% of common stock = 1863000/3245440 = 57.40%

% of preferred stock = 612000 / 3245440 = 18.86%

% of debt = 770440 / 3245440 = 23.74%

2) Weighted average cost of capital = Average weight cost of equit + Average weight cost of preferred stock + Average weight cost of debt after tax

= (0.574 x 0.135) + (0.1886 x 0.068) + (0.2374 x 0.0778 x 0.6) = 10.14%
