Answer:

C. A return of $70000

Explanation:

Given that

Beginning plan asset = 325000

End plan asset = 375000

Contributions = 130000

Total avalable assets initially = beginning plan asset + contributions

= 325000 + 130000

= 455,000.

Distributions of pension resulted in less 150000

Thus,

Balance = 455000 - 150000

= 305000.

But recall that the ending balance was

375000

Thus,

The difference between 375000 and 305000 = $70000, represents the return on plan assets.

Hence return on plan assets

= $70,000

NOTE that, the loss of $55,000 from sale of specific investments is included in the net gain of $70,000

Ivan

Answer:

Stella should consume less of milk and more of cookies to maximize total utility.

Explanation:

The price of cookies is ​$9​, and the price of milk is ​$3.

Stella consumes 10 cookies and 5 cartons of milk.

The marginal utility of 10th cookie is 50 utils and the marginal utility of 5th carton of milk is 25 utils.

Her total utility will be maximized if the ratio of marginal utility and price will be equal for both cookies and milk.

Ratio for cookies

= \frac{MUx}{Px}

= \frac{50}{9}

= 5.55

Ratio for milk

= \frac{MUy}{Py}

= \frac{25}{3}

= 8.33

Since the ratio is higher for milk, it means that Stella should consume less of milk and more of cookies to maximize total utility.
