Answer:

Yes, there is no need to change the eatings habits

Explanation:

Ari will maximize utility until

MU / P for both is equal in order to be at equilibrium

So, in this case,

For Hot dogs

= MU / P

where

MU is marginal utils, which is 20

P is Price, which is $2

So,

= 20 / $2

= 10

For Hamburgers

= MU / P

where

MU is marginal utils, which is 25

P is Price, which is $2.5

So,

= 25 / $2.5

= 10

Therefore, MU / P for hot dog = MU / P for Hamburger

Hence, there is not need to change the eatings habits.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.0416483 or 4.16%

Explanation:

Annual percentage rate, APR = 4%

Value of toys sold = $200,000

Note period = 90 day

N = 365 ÷ 90

= $200,000 × [1 - (0.04 × 90/360)]

= $198,000

Effective annual financing cost:

=(\frac{Value\ of\ toys\ sold}{Calculated\ value} )^{\frac{365}{90} }-1

=(\frac{200,000}{198,000} )^{\frac{365}{90} }-1

= 1.0416483 - 1

= 0.0416483 or 4.16%

A retail store has three departments, S, T, and U, and does general advertising that benefits all departments. Advertising expen
Andrew [12]

Answer: $22,500

Explanation:

First calculate the rate of allocation based on sales to determine how much of Department T's sales should be attributed to Advertising.

The Rate of Allocation based on Sales = Advertising Expense/Total sales

= 50,000/475,000

= 0.105263

= 10.5263%

This 10.5% can then be used to find out how much of Advertising to apportion to Department T based on department sales,

= Department sales * Allocation rate

= 213,750 * 10.5263%

= $22,500

$22,500 should be allocated to Department T.

We discussed the invasions of the Roman world by various Germanic tribes in the fifth century and the Arab-Islamic conquests of
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The invaders were able to govern the more advanced civilizations because they adopted most of the conquered civilizations' customs, rules of governance, and even languages and religion.

For example, in the case of the Germanic tribes that conquered the Western Roman Empire, the rulers adopted, one by one, the religion of the Roman Empire: Christianity, more specifically, the Roman Catholic variant.

They also began to use the language of the Empire: Latin, for ecclessiastical and political matters, and while political institutions did change a lot, some of the political institutions of the Empire did survive in the sucessor states that the Germanic rulers carved out of the Roman territory.
