Answer:

B. not maximizing utility because the marginal utility per dollar spent on movies is not equal to the marginal utility per dollar spent on CDs

Explanation:

Consumer is at utility maximising equilibrium in case of two goods consumption,  when Marginal Utility per unit of dollar spent on each good is equal , i.e :

MU (G1) / P (G1) = MU (G2) / P (G2) , where  ;

MU (G1) = Marginal Utility of Good 1 , MU (G2) = Marginal Utility of Good2 , P (G1) = Price of Good 1 , P (G2) = Price of Good 2

If Marginal Utility per unit of dollar spent on any good is higher than other , it is beneficial (utility maximising) for consumer to increase consumption of good having higher MU/P .

Given:  MU (Movie) = 50, P (Movie) = 5 , MU (CD) = 96, P (CD) = 10. MU (Mov) / P (Mov) i.e 50/5 = 10 > MU(CD) / P(CD) i.e 96 / 10 = 9.6

Since consumer's MU per unit of dollar spent is not equal for both goods , consumer is not at utility maximising equilibrium.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.

In the attached excel file, we have:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155

Explanation:

Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895

Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155

Assets = $152,155

Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155

Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
