Answer:

C) $3.00

Explanation:

since Fred has been able to maximize his utility by consuming both pizza and beer, the marginal utility per dollar of pizza and beer must be equal.

The price of a bottle of beer is $1.50 and Fred obtains 4 utils from consuming it. If the marginal utility of pizza is 8 units, it is equivalent to 2 beers. So the price of pizza must equal $1.50 x 2 = $3

Answer:

C) $3.00

Explanation:

Utility Maximization can be mathematically illustrated as Marginal Utility of product X ÷ price of product X = Marginal Utility of product Y ÷ price of product Y. Utility maximization involves maximizing utility according to one's income. Here, the products are beer and pizza. The marginal utility of pizza is 8 and its price is unknown which we will assume as "a" while the marginal utility of beer is 4 and its price is $1.50. Using our formula, we replaced the words with figures hence, 4 ÷ $1.50 = 8 ÷ a. We crossmultiply the figures are left with 4a = $12.00. A is then, $1.200 ÷ 4 = $3.00. Therefore, the price of pizza is $3.00

Waterway Industries purchased a depreciable asset for $837300 on January 1, 2018. The estimated salvage value is $84000, and the
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$222,100

Explanation:

Cost = $837,300

Residual value = $84,000  

Useful life = 9 years  

Now,  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{837,300 - 84,000}{9}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{753,300}{9}  

Annual straight line depreciation = $83,700

Accumulated depreciation for three years i.e., 2018, 2019 and 2020 would be:

Accumulated depreciation = 3 × $83,700

Accumulated depreciation = $251,100

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = Cost - Accumulated depreciation  

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = $837,300 - $251,100

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = $586,200

Revised useful life = 5 years

No. years asset has been used = 3 years

Remaining useful life = 2 years

Revised salvage value = $142,000

Therefore, depreciation expense for the remaining three year would be:

Revised depreciation expense = \frac{Book value at the end of 2020 - Revised residual Value}{Remaining useful life}  

Revised depreciation expense = \frac{586,200 - 142,000}{2}  

Revised depreciation expense = \frac{444,200}{2}

Revised depreciation expense = $222,100
