Answer:

D. Tim consumes more hamburgers and fewer hot dogs.

Explanation:

For his utility to remain constant, Tim will neither consume more goods in total, nor spend more money than before.

Therefore, because the price of hot dogs has risen, while the price of hamburger has remained the same, he will now buy more hamburgers and less hot dogs, because eating more hamburgers and less hot dogs will not decrease his satisfaction, it will remain the same. We can also conclude from that both fast food products are perfect substitutes for Tim.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The annual rate of return is -2.83%

Explanation:

The annual rate can be calculated from the formula FV=PV*(1+r)^N

Where FV is the future value of the investment

PV is the amount invested which is $276,500

N is 9 years

213600=276,500*(1+r)^9

213600/276500=(1+r)^9

divide index on both sides by 9

(213600/276500)^1/9=1+r

(213600/276500)^1/9-1=r

r=-0.02827109

r=-2.83%

Hence the annual rate of return on the investment is -2.83%, which means the investment depleted by 2.83% from initial invested amount of $276,5000 to $213,600 after nine years
