Robert treats coffee and creamer as perfect complements and has very specific requirements for the ratio of creamer to coffee. H

diamong [38]

Answer:

a. Robert's optimal consumption bundle contains 9.18 cups of coffee and 45.88 packets of creamer.

b. Zero packets of creamer is the substitution effect.

Explanation:

a. Suppose that Robert has $39.00 to spend on coffee and creamer. His optimal consumption bundle contains _______cups of coffee and _________

The consumption ratio can be stated as follows:

5 Creamer = 1 cup of coffee

Budget line has an equation can also be given as follows:

B = (Pm * Qm) + (Pf * Qf) ...................... (1)

Where;

B = Budget = The amount Robert has to spend on coffee and creamer = $39.00

Pm = Price of creamer = $0.25

Qm = Quantity of creamer = ?

Pf = Price of coffee = $3.00

Qf = Quantity of coffee = ?

39 = (0.25 * Qm) + (3 * Qf)

39 = 0.25Qm + 3Qf

Since "5 Creamer = 1 cup of coffee". This also implies thal 1 creamer = 1 / 5 cup of coffee. Therefore, we have;

39 = 0.25Qm + (3 * 1/5 * Qm)

39 = 0.25Qm + (3/5)Qm

39 = 0.25Qm + 0.60Qm

39 = 0.85Qm

Qm = 39 / 0.85

Qm = 45.88

Qf = 45 / 5 = 9.18

Therefore, Robert's optimal consumption bundle contains 9.18 cups of coffee and 45.88 packets of creamer.

b. Now, suppose that the price of creamer rises to $0.50 per packet. What is the substitution effect of this price change?

Since Robert treats coffee and creamer as perfect complements, this implies that there there is nothing like substitution effect under this condition.

Therefore, zero packets of creamer is the substitution effect.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer: (a).

Annexure: Since a part of the information was found missing in the question, a similar question has been provided as an attachment for reference.

If the interest rate falls with other things remaining constant, a firm would like to raise more money via debt instruments.

This will lead to an increase in the quantity of loanable funds demanded.

This would further lead to increase in the level of invested funds by the public as it would get cheaper for the corporates to avail loans.

Answer:

The estimate value of the subject property is $8,269,200

The other information that would be desirable in reaching a conclusion:

The closeness of the property to central business districts as the closer it is the higher the asking price.

The estimate was solely based on revenue, the applicable costs have been ignored.

The average taken might not be a good indication for the subject property because the property might have unique features

Explanation:

The formula for Gross Rent Multiplier is given Property Price / Gross Monthly Rental Income.

In determining the estimate value of the subject property ,we calculate the gross rent multiplier of the new property,then multiply it with the annual rental income.

In ascertaining the GRM of the new property we take the average GRM of the two similar properties in the same area.This is because the new property judging from number of units, lies in-between the other two properties.

GRM for Oaks

GRM=$9000000/($550*140)

GRM =116.88

GRM for Palms

GRM=$6,600,000/($650*90)

GRM =112.82

The average GRM=(116.88+112.82)/2

=114.85

Subject property price=114.85*(120*$600)

=$8,269,200

What percentage of greek students would participate in a hazing activity, even if it made them uncomfortable?

pogonyaev

Less than 10% is the percentage of Greek students that would participate in a hazing activity, even if it made them uncomfortable. This percentage is justifiable because student participation in hazing activities is prohibited and the accompanying danger to physical and mental health induced to a student is one factor that makes it more off-putting.
