Answer:
The correct option is c. $8.
Explanation:
Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)
Where;
MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3
Price of Sprite = $1 per can
From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3
Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:
Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8
Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.
Answer:
Part a
Assets = Increase $3,600
Liabilities = Increase $3,600
Equity = No effect
Part b
Assets = Increase $12,300
Liabilities = No effect
Equity = Increase $12,300
Part c
Assets = Decrease $2,700
Liabilities = Decrease $2,700
Equity = No effect
Part d
Assets = Decrease (with decrease)
Liabilities = No effect
Equity = Decrease (with decrease)
Explanation:
Effects of the events on the financial statements are considered for the impart of transaction on the Assets, Liabilities and Equity as above.
Answer:
the standard deviation is 4.2%
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation of the portfolio is given below:
expected standard deviation of the portfolio is
= Allocation percentage of stock index × standard deviation of returns on the stock index
= 0.70 × 6%
= 4.2%
Hence, the standard deviation is 4.2%
The correct answer is the marginal costs are 16 cents per mile for miles above 165 plus the cost of gas. Therefore the marginal cost is $5.60 plus the cost of gas. The initial payment can be forgotten because it is a sunk cost; it is not part of marginal costs.
Answer: $3,500
Explanation:
The American Opportunity Tax Credit is a credit offered by the IRS for educational expenses paid on qualified students in their first 4 years of tertiary education.
The credit offered stands at a 100% of the first $2,000 paid per student. Afterwards this drops to 25% for the next $2,000.
To be able to claim the full credit however, some income conditions must be met. The most relevant to this question is that your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) should be $80,000 or less if filing singularly or $160,000 or less if jointly signing as a married couple.
That means that Kyle and Alyssa qualified for 100% of this credit.
They get to claim $1,000 on Jane.
For Jill they get to claim the first $2,000 and then 25% of the next $2,000,
= 25% * 2,000
= $500
= 500 + 2,000
= $2,500
They get to claim $2,500 on Jill.
Total of $3,500 for both Jane and Jill.
