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.

Assume again that the cost of capital is 7 percent and the effective tax rate is 40 percent. How would the payback, internal rat
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

If the effective tax rate increases then the net savings coming from investments will get lowered as a result the investment will have higher payback period (The increase in effective tax rate would lower demand of the product which means there is decline in net saving arising from the sale of the product). Likewise this decrease in annual net savings will also decrease the internal rate of return which shows that their are increased chances of project rejections. The NPV method is based on cash flows and relevant costing just like IRR and payback method but the only difference is that it assumes that the cash earned would be reinvested at cost of capital. The NPV will also decrease due to increased effective tax rate.

Based on the following information: Assume that Forrest Company uses the LIFO accounting method. In year X1, Forrest reported th
Andru [333]

Answer:

a. $15,500

Explanation:

Based on LIFO, cost of 1500 unit sold will be entirely from the Purchases (year X1). Therefore, we have:

Value of units purchases (year X1) outstanding after sales = (2,000 - 1,500) * $11 = 500 * $11 = $5,500

Therefore, we have

LIFO Inventory on 12/31/X1 = Value of beginning Inventory (1/1/X1) + $5,500 = $10,000 + $5,500 = $15,500.

Which of the following sentences express correct number style?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: a. The professional software package included Web 2.0 applications, but it cost more than $1,200.

Explanation:

A simple rule for writing a correct number style is that when writing numbers between 1 - 9 ( single digits numbers), you should spell them out. When writing anything larger however or if writing multiple numbers, you should write them as numerals.

This convention can be typically broken every now and then in certain cases. One of those cases is that, if you have a situation where you have 2 numbers in a sentence, you have to use one style for it and if the 2 numbers consist of 1 small number and 1 large number you would preferably have to use numerals.

For this reason Option A which has two numbers written as numerals is correct.

It is worthy of note however, that different styles exist as do Citation Styles and this answer is based on the most rudimentary of said styles.
