Answer: The price of the tied good is $20.

Explanation: The practice of tying is used to package products in such a way that the price of the tied (combined) good is closer to the buyers total willingness to pay for the two goods.

In this case, the total willingness to pay of Carnivore is $20+$7=$27

While, that of Leafygreens is $8+$12=$20

Thus, the producer will sell the combined good at $20 as it this price both the consumers will buy the tied good. If the producer sells it at $27, then only the Carnivore will buy the good but Leafygreens will not.

Thus, with zero marginal cost of serving additional consumer it is better for the producer to sell at $20.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. Plan I is better is we drive 300 miles in a day.

b. 150 miles.

Explanation:

a. if mileage is 300 then rental charges will be,

Plan I : $36 + 17 cents * miles

$36 + 0.17 * 300 = $41.10.

Plan II : $24 + 25 cents * miles

$24 + 0.25 * 300 = $99.00

Plan I total cost for 300 miles is $41.10 whereas Plan II total cost for 300 miles is $99.00. Plan I is better plan and cost effective.

b. For mileage (m) calculation we will use equation;

Plan I = Plan II

$36 + 0.17m = $24 +0.25m

0.25m - 0.17m = $36 - $24

m = $12 / 0.08

m = 150 miles.

You are attending college in the fall and you need to purchase a computer. You must finance the purchase because your parents wi
rodikova [14]

The correct answer is installment credit. The explanation is below.

Installment credit allows you to purchase an item and then pay for it in installments. The reason that this would be the best option for you is that you do not have the money now to make the purchase, but you are able to make smaller monthly payments in order to purchase a computer.

Installment credit is better than revolving credit for new borrowers. Revolving credit would allow you to charge additional purchases on your revolving credit account. The installment plan only finances one item, rather than like a credit card, which is how revolving credit works. You would not choose non-installment credit because this would require you to make this payment all at once in a short period of time. It would not allow you to spread the payments out over time.
