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.

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

Glocalization is a term that combines both globalization and localization. It was first used during the 1980s in Japan to define a way of thinking and developing business strategies: think locally and act globally.

Back in the 1980s Japan's economy was booming, it was the second largest economy in the world and Japanese car manufacturers and technological firms were wiping out the competition. This term refers to the western interpretation of Japanese business strategies of that decade, of selling similar but differentiated products everywhere.

E.g. American car manufacturers used to complain that Japanese consumers wouldn't buy their cars in Japan, but they simply had the steering wheel on the wrong side and Japanese consumers were not willing to even try them for that reason.

Luckily, things have changed and American companies also realized that their reality is not necessarily the reality of the rest of the world, and you must adapt your products to different markets.
