Answer:

INCREASE the consumption of Pepsi and REDUCE the consumption of Hamburger

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that Bill uses his whole budget to purchase the following :

5 cans of Pepsi

3 Hamburgers per week

And the following were the price:

Pepsi costs $1 per can

Hamburger cost $2

Bill marginal utility:

Pepsi 4

Hamburgers 6

Based on the above details this means that Bill could increase his utility by INCREASING Pepsi consumption and REDUCING hamburger consumption reason been that 5 cans of Pepsi costs $1 per can which will gives us income of $5 ($5×1) while 3 Hamburgers per week cost $2 which will give us income of $6 ($3×2) which typically means that the Hamburgers has more income that Pepsi.

Secondly since the marginal utility for Pepsi is 4 while that of Hamburgers is 6 which means that Hamburgers has higher MARGINAL UTILITY than that of Pepsi because the consumption of Hamburgers is higher than the consumption of Pepsi.

Therefore the best thing that Bill could do in order to increase his Pepsi utility is for Bill to increase Pepsi consumption and reduce hamburger consumption.

Bob bought some land costing $16,390. today, that same land is valued at $46,817. How long has bob owned this land if the price
faltersainse [42]

Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Given that land was bought by Bob for $16390, the price is increasing at the rate of 6%, price of land today is $46817.

We are required to find the time for which Bob need to own the land so that the price of the land is $46817 today.

Compounding means calculating amount on the principal and the amount added interest.

Rate of increasing the price of land be 6%.

Price when Bob bought the land=$16390.

Price of land today=$46817.

It is like compounding of interest and the sum is calculated as under:

S=P*(1+r)^{n}

In the above equation P is theamount at beginning,r is rate of increasing and n is the number of years.

46817=16390(1+0.06)^{n}

46817/16390=(1.06)^{n}

(1.06)^{n}=2.8564

(1.06)^{n}=(1.06)^{18}  (Approximately)

From both the sides we will get n=18.

Hence Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Durable Goods $1,250 Nondurable Goods $2,130 Services $9,000 Fixed Investment $1,800 Changes to Business Inventory $135 Investme
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Given that,

Durable Goods = $1,250

Non-durable Goods = $2,130

Services = $9,000

Fixed Investment = $1,800

Changes to Business Inventory = $135

Investment in Stocks & Bonds = $15,500

Federal Government Purchases = $1,800

State/Local Government Purchases = $1,700

Transfer Payments = $675

Exports from the United States = $2,100

Imports into the United States = $2,400

(a) Consumption, C = durable goods + non-durable goods + services

                                = $1,250 + $2,130 + $9,000

                                = $12,380

(b) Private investment, I = Fixed investment + change in inventory + Investment in stocks/bonds

                                       = $1,800 + $135 + $15,500

                                       = $17,435

(c) Government spending, G = Federal government purchase + state/local government purchase

                                               = $1,800 + $1,700

                                               = $3,500

(d) Net exports = Exports - Imports

                         = $2,100 - $2,400

                         = -($300)

GDP = C + I + G + NX

        = $12,380 + $17,435 + $3,500 + (-$300)

        = $33,015

Accounts Payable   $7,900  Credit    

     

  • 5 Returned goods costing $3,000 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account.            

Accounts Payable   $3,000  Debit    

Merchandise    $3,000  Credit    

     

  • 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,950 with terms 2/10, n/30.          

Merchandise            $1,950  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $1,950  Credit    

     

  • 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc.          

Accounts Payable   $4,900  Debit    

Merchandise    $98   Credit    

Cash                 $4,802  Credit    

     

  • 22 Paid Club Corp. in full.            

Accounts Payable  $1.950  Debit    

Cash                     $1.950  Credit    

Explanation:

First recorded the journal entry of the purchased merchandise.

  • June 3 Purchased goods for $7,900 from Diamond Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30.              

Merchandise            $7,900  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $7,900  Credit    

When merchandise is returned, we make the opposite entry      

  • 5 Returned goods costing $3,000 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account.            

Accounts Payable   $3,000  Debit    

Merchandise    $3,000  Credit    

 

It's recorded again the journal entry of the purchased merchandise.  

  • 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,950 with terms 2/10, n/30.          

Merchandise            $1,950  Debit    

Accounts Payable   $1,950  Credit    

When the balance is paid it's necessary to register de discount availabe becuase the payment was within 10 days, 2/10.      

  • 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc.          

Accounts Payable   $4,900  Debit    

Merchandise    $98   Credit    

Cash                 $4,802  Credit    

In the case of Club Corp the paid is in full because it's out of the discount period.

  • 22 Paid Club Corp. in full.            

Accounts Payable  $1.950  Debit    

Cash                     $1.950  Credit
