An indifference curve illustrates ... a) how consumers are indifferent about the location of their own consumption levels relati

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.

Explanation:

This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.

For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.

In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.

Why do businesses take financial cost into account other than social cost when making decisions.

deff fn [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Why do businesses take financial costs into account other than social costs when making decisions.?

The reason why is because businesses are created to make profits. And financial costs directly impact sales, revenue, and profits. Any other consideration that does not directly affect the balance sheet or the bottom line, is not considered a priority and takes the back seat when business decisions are made.

On the other hand, the social cost should be important and it is, but not as important as the financial costs for the above-mentioned reasons.

Social costs are more on the side of the ethics of the managers or leaders of the organizations. And ethics and moral values are not a prominent thing to be considered in the decision-making process of modern corporations.

Alina [70]

Answer:

a. The annual capital cost is $9,798

b. The equivalent annual savings is $27,495

c. The decision is wise

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the annual capital cost (ownership cost) for the equipment we would have to calculate the following formula:

annual capital cost=P(A/P,i,n)-F(A/F,i,n).........

annual capital cost=$65,000(A/P,9%,10)-$5,000(A/F,9%,10)

=$65,000(0.1558)-$5,000(0.0658)

=$10,127-$329

=$9,798

b. In order to calculate the equivalent annual savings (revenues) we would have to calculate the following formula:

equivalent annual savings=A+G(A/G,i,n).........

equivalent annual savings=$18,000+$2,500(A/G,9%,10)

=$18,000+$2,500(3.798)

=$18,000+$9,495

=$27,495

c. The decision is wise becauste the equivalent annual savings are greater than the annual costs of the equipment.
