Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Principle of subsitution states that no consumer should buy a product for a high price of he can get an alternative (duplicate) that is of a cheaper price.
Substitutes are alternatives that provide similar satisfaction to the customer. 
When the price of one product goes up the customer has a choice of going for an alternative.
For example honey and sugar are substitutes. When the price of one goes down people will go for the cheaper alternative. This acts as a price control mechanism.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Katie Kwasi's Utility Function
The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:
= 40 units of x1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2
Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:
= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2
= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2
Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint.  If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The answer is an equilibrium point. In economics, this relates to the condition of the economic forces in which supplies and demand meet meaning the demand is equal to the supplies of the certain product. It is set by increasing or decreasing the price of a good in response to the movement of the supply and demand in the market. 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
-$475,000
Explanation:
Total revenue = Baskets of peaches × Price
                        = 100,000 × $3
                        = $300,000
Explicit cost:
= Rent equipment + wages
= $100,000 + $100,000
= $200,000
Implicit cost:
= Land × Interest + salesman earned
=  $1,000,000 × 0.55 + $25,000
= $575,000
Total cost = Explicit cost: + Implicit cost
                 = $200,000 + $575,000
                 = $775,000
Economic profit = Total revenue - Total cost
                            = $300,000 - $775,000
                            = -$475,000
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
d.the company is precisely breaking even.
Explanation:
Margin of safety is referred to current sales - Break even sales ratio to current sales as a percentage.
Basically it is quoted as follows:

Therefore, when the current sales = Break even sales then only the company will have margin of safety = 0
Thus, at 0 margin of safety the company basically is at no profit no loss situation, that is break even.
