Answer:

Consumption of good y should decrease

The Marginal Utility should also decrease

Explanation:

Marginal utility of a good is the added satisfaction that a consumer gets from consuming additional units of the good.

Given the two goods x and y, and MUx/Px > MUy/Py.

The Marginal Utility Price Ratio indicates the Utility/Satisfaction derived from the last Dollars spent.

To allocate a budget efficiently, the marginal utility for each item should be equal.

A good has a higher marginal utility-price ratio is the good that the consumer should consume more of.

If the Marginal Utility-Price ratio of good x is greater than that of good y, your consumption of good y should decrease and therefore, the MUy will also decrease.

​ Jim saw a decrease in the quantity demanded for his firm’s product from 8000 to 6000 units a week when he raised the price of
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The demand for Jim’s product is elastic

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.

We proceed as follows;

The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is

e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Here, Q2 = 6000

Q1 = 8000

P2 = $250

P1 = $200

e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]

e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]

e = - 1.3

That means absolute value of e is 1.3.

So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.

An investor owns 5,000 shares of IBM stock, $105 per share. He thinks that there is no large rise and possible drop in price. Th
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

If IBM stock price rises from $105 to $112, the profit associated with the passive strategy is $ 35,000 and the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy is $ 45,000 .

Explanation:

Shares = 5000

Price of shares = $105

Sell Price = $112

The profit associated with the passive strategy  = $(112 - 105) × 5000

= $ 35,000

Now with covered call also included in the strategy the profit/loss from covered call can be calculated as

Strike Price = $110

Spot Price = $112

Total Shares on which Call options are sold = 50 × 100 = $5000

Total Premium received = 5000 × 4 = $20000

(Spot Price - Strike Price ) × Total Shares

= $(112 - 110) × 5000

= $10,000

Hence Net Profit = Premium received - $10,000 = $20,000 - $10,000

= $ 10000

Hence the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy

= $35,000 + $10,000

= $ 45,000

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

work as contractors and must add Urgent.ly and Honk to their insurance policies.

Explanation:

Both Urgent.ly and Honk are apps that help drivers get roadside assistance if they lack roadside coverage either from their insurance company or the car's warranty. Honk also provides features that allow you to pay for parking fees.

Both companies work similarly to Uber or Lyft, since they do not own the tow trucks. The tow trucks are owned and operated by associates that join them.
