A consumer is making purchases of products Alpha and Beta such that the marginal utility of product Alpha is 30 and the marginal

utility of product Beta is 40. The price of product Alpha is $5, and the price of product Beta is $10. The utility-maximizing rule suggests that, to stay within a given budget constraint, this consumer should:

Answer:

Should purchase or consume more Alpha than Beta.

Explanation:

Marginal utility per dollar spent can be calculated as,

Alpha = 30/5 = 6/$ spent

Beta = 40/10 = 4/$ spent

Therefore maximizing utility in a given budget constraint would be achieved by buying or consuming more of Alpha.

Dunstreet's department store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

219 sheets

Explanation:

D = 5000 per year,

d = daily demand = 5000/365 = 13.70 sheets

T = time between orders (review) = 14 days

L = Lead time = 10 days

σd= Standard deviation of daily demand = 5 per day

I = Current Inventory = 150 sheets Service Level

P = 95% (Probability of not stocking out) q=d(L+D)z σ T+L-1

σ T+L-1= square root (T+L)=5 square root 14+10= 24.495

From Standard normal distribution, z = 1.64 for 95% Service Level (or 5% Stock out)

q=13.70*(14+10)+1.64(24.495)-150

= 218.97 →219 sheets

Suppose a riskless project requires an initial investment of $10 and will generate a one-time cash inflow of $30 two years later
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

D. The payback period is less than 2 years.

Explanation:

Discount rate                 5%  

                                        0      1          2

intital investment        -10  

cash flow                       0        30

Total cash flow         -10      0        30

NPV                        17.21  

IRR                                 73%  

Therefore, The NPV is 17.21 and is positive, the statement is True.

IRR > 50%, Therefore the statement made is True

Accounting rate of return = {[(30 - 10)/10]^(1/2)} - 1

                                           = 41% > 0

Therefore, The statement made is true.

Payback period = 2 years, Therefore the statement made is NOT true.

Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 was about $400, but it doubled to about $800.00 by 1978. a. What was the average annu
miskamm [114]

Answer:

3.33%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 = $400

per capita GDP in South Korea in 1978 = $800

Total number of years taken to double the GDP = 21 years

Now,

Using the Rule of 70, which states that

Number of years to double the GDP = 70 ÷ (average annual economic growth rate )

thus,

21 years = 70 ÷ average annual economic growth rate

or

Average annual economic growth rate = 3.33%
