Answer:
Paul is NOT maximizing his utility.
Explanation:
Given:
MU
= Marginal utility from DVDs = 21
MU
= Marginal utility from books = 4
P = Price of DVDS = $11
P = Price of books = $1
Under the utility maximization theory for two or more goods, utility is said to be maximized by a consumer when the ratios of the marginal utility to price per unit of each good are equal to each other. For this question, this implies that when we have:
MU / P = MU / P ………………………….. (1)
Therefore, we have:
MU / P = 21 / 11 = 1.91
MU / P = 4 / 1 = 4
Since 1.91 = MU / P < MU / P = 4, this implies that these conditions are NOT consistent with equation (1). Therefore, Paul is NOT maximizing his utility.
In order to maximize his utility, Paul should consume more DVDs and consume less books until these conditions are consistent with equation (1).
Answer: $8,400
Explanation:
Tax liability for a year is computed on the nominal capital gain as of that year not the inflation-adjusted gain. As such, should the asset be sold today, the capital gains tax of 28% will be computed on the capital gain of $30,000 in the following manner;
= 28% * 30,000
= $8,400
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the production budget is presented below:
Projected sales units 800,000 candles
Add: Desired ending inventory, Dec 31 20,000 units
Total units available 820,000 units
Less: Estimated beginning inventory,Jan 1 -35,000 units
Total units to be produced 785,000 units
We simply applied the below formula i.e
= Sales units + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units
By applying this formula we can get the Total units to be produced in January month
