Bill currently uses his entire budget to purchase 5 cans of Pepsi and 3 hamburgers per week. The price of Pepsi is $1 per can,

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The utility maximization point for a consumer is as follows:

$\frac{MU_x}{P_x}=\frac{MU_y}{P_y}$

It is given that,

price of Pepsi(x) = $1 per can

price of a hamburger(y) = $2

Marginal utility from Pepsi = 4

Marginal utility from hamburgers = 6

Hence,

$\frac{4}{1}>\frac{6}{2}$

4 > 3

Therefore, it can be seen that the consumer's utility is not maximized at this point.

Law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the consumer consumes more and more quantity of goods then as a result the utility obtained from the consumption goes on diminishing.

So, there is a need to increase the quantity of Pepsi consumed and reducing the quantity of hamburgers consumed.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Total cost= $650,857

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

At an activity level of 6,900 units in a month, Zeus Corporation's total variable maintenance and repair cost is $408,756, and its total fixed maintenance and repair cost is $230,253.

<u>We need to calculate the total cost of 7,100 units. Because it is between the relevant range, fixed costs will remain the same. We need to determine the unitary variable cost.</u>

Unitary variable cost= total variable cost/ unit

Unitary variable cost= 408,756/6,900= $59.24

Total cost= 59.24*7,100 + 230,253= $650,857
