Answer:

b. 3 McBurgers and 2 cans of Alpo

Explanation:

If the goal is to maximize utility, Ms. Tightwad should look into purchasing the combination that yields the highest utility.

a. 4 McBurgers, 0 Alpo cans:

$U_a = 40$

b. 3 McBurgers, 2 Alpo cans:

$U_b = 36+13 = 49$

c. 2 McBurgers, 4 Alpo cans:

$U_c = 28+17 = 45$

d. 1 McBurger, 6 Alpo cans (assume marginal utility stays constant after the 4th can):

$U_d = 16+17+2 = 35$

Since option b. yields the highest utility, she should buy 3 McBurgers and 2 cans of Alpo

charle [14.2K]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.

a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million

The Yearly cash flows = $110,000

Time (n) = 20 years

The Discount rate (R) = 4%

Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost

Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000

Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)

= $394936

b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.

Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)

= 0.01961

PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]

= $1,770,045

NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045
