Economists measure utility

Business
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

d. None of the available choices is correct

Explanation:

None of these options accurately describe a way in which utility can be measured. Utility is a concept widely used in economics which tries to measure the satisfaction that a consumer receives from a particular good or service. It is impossible to accurately measure the exact utility of a particular good to a consumer. Nevertheless, an estimation is useful when making decisions about how to distribute our money within a budget.

Suppose that when the price of ginger ale is $2 per bottle, firms can sell 4 million bottles. When the price of ginger ale is $3
lesantik [10]

<u>Solution</u>: The correct answer is option D

<u>Explanation</u>:

The following formula is applied for calculating elasticity of demand:

\mathrm{e}=\left[\left(\mathrm{Q}_{2}-\mathrm{Q}_{1}\right) /\left\{\left(\mathrm{Q}_{1}+\mathrm{Q}_{2}\right) / 2\right\}\right] /\left[\left(\mathrm{P}_{2}-\mathrm{P}_{1}\right) /\left\{\left(\mathrm{P}_{1}+\mathrm{P}_{2}\right) / 2\right\}\right]

Here, Q2 = 2 million

Q1 = 4 million

P2 = $3

P1 = $2

\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{e}=[(2-4) /\{(4+2) / 2\}] /[(\$ 3-\$ 2) /\{(\$ 2+\$ 3) / 2\}] \\\mathrm{e}=[(-2) / 3] /[1 / 2.50]\end{array}

e = - 1.67

Thus, the absolute value is 1.67.

The ginger ale is price elastic because the absolute value is higher than 1. An increase in price will decrease its total revenue. Thus, the following statement is true:  (d) The demand for ginger ale is price elastic, so an increase in the price of ginger ale will decrease the total revenue of ginger ale producers.

Nezzie invests in 300 shares of stock in the fund shown below. Name of Fund NAV Offer Price LKIT Mid-Cap $16. 58 $16. 99 Nezzie
LenKa [72]

The correct amount of net asset value is $33. 66. Net asset value is termed as the value of the asset after the evaluation of the company's profit and evaluating the paid-off debt of the firm.  

Computation of the total net value:

\begin{aligned}\text{The Total Net Value}&=(\text{ Number of shares} \times \text{Offer price}) + \text{profit}\\\text{The Total Net Value}&= 300 \:\rm shares \times \$16.99 + \$5000\\\text{The Total Net Value}&=\$10,097\end{aligned}

The computation of the net asset value is:

\begin{aligned} \text{The Net Asset Value}&=\dfrac{\text{ Total Net Value}}{\text{Total Outstanding Shares}}  \\\text{The Net Asset Value}&= \frac{\$10097}{300\:\rm shares} \\ \text{The Net Asset Value}&= \$33.66\end{aligned}

Therefore, the correct option is D.

To know more about the calculation of the net asset value, refer to the link below:
