Answer:

Juan should consume more baseball cards and less candy.

Explanation:

Juan spends all of his income on baseball cards and candy.  

The marginal utility of baseball cards is 20 and the marginal utility of candy is 10.  

The price of baseball cards is $10 and the price of candy is $2.  

The total utility will be maximized if the ratio of marginal utility and price of a good is equal for both the goods.  

The ratio for baseball cards

= \frac{MUx}{Px}

= \frac{20}{10}

= 2

The ratio for candy

= \frac{MUy}{Py}

= \frac{10}{2}

= 5

Since, the ratio is greater for candy and lesser for baseball cards, Juan should consume more baseball cards and less candy.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

stock's Alpha = R - Rf - beta (Rm - Rf)

  • R represents the stock's return = $6/$25 = 24%
  • Rf = 6%
  • Beta = 1.3
  • Rm = 16%

Alpha = 0.24 - 0.06 - 1.3 (0.1) = 0.24 - 0.06 - 0.13 = 0.24 - 0.19 = 0.05 = 5%

A stock's Alpha is basically the excess return that the stock yields compared to an specific benchmark, e.g. S&P 500, Dow Jones.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

75%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Lenders use the lesser of the sales price or appraised value to calculate the loan-to-value ratio (LTV).
  • This results in LTV of 75% ($300,000/$400,000).
<h3>How do you calculate the loan-to-value ratio?</h3>
  • To figure out your LTV ratio, divide your current loan balance (you can find this number on your monthly statement or online account) by your home's appraised value.
  • Multiply by 100 to convert this number to a percentage. Caroline's loan-to-value ratio is 35%.

The following information pertains to Pernell Company's pension plan. Beginning PBO: $500,000; current service cost $50,000; dis
monitta

Answer:

= $560,000

Explanation:

Given that:

  • -Beginning PBO: 500,000
  • -Current Service Cost: 50,000
  • -Discount Rate: 6%  => interest cost = 500,000*6% = 30,000
  • -Contributions by Pernell: 40,000
  • -Benefits paid to employees 25,000
  • -Loss on PBO: 5,000

As we know that service cost; gains and losses; payments to retired employees; prior service cost; interest cost; payments to employees are factors that change the balance of the PBO

So the ending balance of the PBO will be:

Beginning PBO + Current Service Cost + Interest cost Loss on PBO -Benefits paid to employees

$500,000 + $50,000+ $30,000+$5,000-$25,000

= $560,000
