Answer:

The answer is: C) Increase his consumption of product Y and decrease his consumption of product X.

Explanation:

The equi-marginal utility principle states that a consumer will spend his money buying different goods that provide him or her the maximum possible satisfaction.

In Oscar's case, each extra unit of product X delivers 10 units of satisfaction, but product X costs $5. Instead he should buy product Y, which costs $1, and gives him 8 units of satisfaction. By consuming product Y, Oscar is getting 8 units of satisfaction per dollar spent, while he only gets 2 unit of satisfaction per dollar spent with product X.

To conduct an experiment, a movie theater increased movie ticket prices from $9 to $10 and measured the change in ticket sales.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1. The elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be INELASTIC.

2. Demand curves become LESS elastic in the long run. This means that the ticket price increase will likely be MORE profitable in the long run.

Explanation:

1. As demand is inelastic, the percentage of price increase will be greater than the decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded, and consequently profit will increase.

2. In the long term, demand becomes inelastic. Consequently, in the long term the percentage of the price increase will continue to be greater than the percentage of decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded.

Maya opened a bakery in a seaside resort town. She was positive she had the perfect location as plenty of hotels and inns were w
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

B) underestimated the competition.

Explanation:

Maya is trying to pursue a dream of having her own bakery in a vibrant seaside resort town and thought that by using her grandmother's recipes, her business would be a success. But in order for a business to be successful, it takes more than just a great product (or great cookies, muffins, etc.).

The first thing you need to do is analyze the external environment and what other products are offered by your competition. That way you will be able to determine the opportunities or threats to you new venture. E.g. since the town hosts several upscale and expensive resorts, the clients are wealthy and that market attracts good chefs. I'm not sure if they hand out Michelin stars to bakeries, but if you have very good products offered by your competition, then you must work twice as hard.
