Answer:

3 salads, 6 vegetarian burgers

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Weekly food budget = $36

Cost of salad, Cs = $6

Cost of vegetable burger, Cv = $3

Now,

Let the number of salads be 'S'

and, the number of vegetable burgers be 'V'

thus,

S × Cs + V × Cv = $36

or

S × $6 + V × $3 = $36      ............(1)

also,

2 salads and 4 vegetarian burgers will give her a utility of 8

i.e U(2, 4 ) = 8

or

U( S, V ) = SV

Now,

From optimal marginal utility condition

Marginal rate of substitution = \frac{MU_S}{MU_V}=\frac{Cs}{Cv}

or

\frac{V}{S}=\frac{6}{3}

or

V = 2S       ..........(2)

substituting the above value in 1

S × $6 + 2S × $3 = $36  

or

6S + 6S = 36

or

12S = 36

or

S = 3

substituting S in (2)

V = 2(3)

or

V = 6

Hence,

3 salads, 6 vegetarian burgers

GaryK [48]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Katie's opportunity cost is too high. She is giving up more money at the dental practice than the $100 she would be saving by making the pastries from hand instead of ordering them from the caterer. The group should continue to order the pastries and split the cost among all the friends so each person's share is lower.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The depreciation expenses to be shown in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended (31-05-2019) is R26,295.

<h3>What is depreciation?</h3>

Depreciation can be defined as a process in which the monetary (financial) value of an asset decreases or falls over time, especially due to wear and tear.

<h3>How to determine the depreciation expenses?</h3>

First of all, we would calculate the expected number of units produced by CAAT as follows:

Expected number of units produced = 15,000 + 13,000 + 11,000 + 10,500 + 10,500

Expected number of units produced = 60,000.

Mathematically, the depreciation expenses is given by:

Depreciation expenses = Actual units produced/expected units produced × cost price

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Depreciation expenses = 9,000/60,000 × 175,300

Depreciation expenses = R26,295.
