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.

Which of the following statements about the relationship between interest rates and bond prices is true? I) There is an inverse
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: A. I and IV only

Explanation:

The relationship between bond prices and interest is an inverse one. This is because bonds have fixed rates so when for instance interest rates increase, the fixed rate of bonds will become less attractive as people would want to make the higher interest. They will therefore demand less of bonds and the prices will drop. The reverse is true.

Also, long term bonds are more affected by interest rate changes then short term bonds. This is because, as they have a longer term till maturity, they will be even less attractive when interest rates rise.

inysia [295]

Answer: Air travel is a normal good and vacation travel by car is an inferior good

Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises. While inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when consumer income decreases.

This therefore means that the demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$25 per batch

Explanation:

Combined final sales value:

= Sales value of refined sugar + Sales value of industrial fiber

= $65 + $65

= $130

Financial advantage:

= Combined final sales value - Further Processing - sugar beets costs - Cost to Crush

= $130 - ($17 + $21) - $54 - $13

= $130 - $38 - $54 - $13

= $25 per batch
