Paul [167]4 years ago

Answer:

Paul is not maximizing his utility because MUd/Pd is greater than MUb/Pb

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction derived from spending an additional unit of money on consuming a particular product or service.

In order to determine if he is maximizing his utility, we must calculate his utility per dollar, and this is done by dividing his Marginal Utility by the price.

Marginal Utility per dollar of DVDs is:

MUd/Pd = 23/11 = 2.09

Marginal Utility per dollar of books is:

MUb/Pb = 5/3 = 1.67

Utility is maximized when MUd/Pd is equal to MUb/Pb and Paul has exhausted his budget.

A company purchased a commercial dishwasher by paying cash of $4,200. The dishwasher's fair value on the date of the purchase wa
kogti [31]

Answer:

$4,760

Explanation:

The value a company will record for the dishwasher will be the amount that was used to purchase the dishwasher plus the associated cost of transporting and installing the dishwasher.

The price of the dishwasher to be used is the actual amount it was bought and not the fair value.

Amount recorded for dishwasher= Price + Transportation + Installation fees

Amount recorded for dishwasher= 4,200 + 330 + 230

Amount recorded for dishwasher= $4,760

Note the fee for illegal parking is not considered because it is not a direct cost related to purchase of the dishwasher
