Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Market rate of exchange of jello for pie:
= Price of a piece of apple pie ÷ Price of jello
= $3.75 ÷ $1.25
= 3.00
At his current consumption point, Nick's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of jello for pie = 3
Since MRS = Px/Py, hence, at this point of consumption bundle he is having a maximum level of utility.
Therefore, there is no need to change his consumption bundle because he is already at his maximum level.
Answer: C
Explanation:
This is because although the coupon rate is devoid of federal income tax any market discount is taxed as interest income earned. So so if there is a way that they can be taxed without jeopardizing their basic Federal income tax-free status, why not? The discount can be accreted annually and tax paid, or the tax can be paid at maturity or sale date.
