Answer:
Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.
Explanation:
This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.
For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.
In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.

Answer:
$0.72
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the last dividend paid is shown below:
Market price of a stock = Last dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ Required rate of return - growth rate
$12.36 = Last dividend × ( 1 + 0.03) ÷ 0.09 - 0.03
$12.36 = Last dividend × (1.03) ÷ 0.06
$12.36 × 0.06 = 1.03 × last dividend
$0.7416 = 1.03 × last dividend
So,
last dividend is
= $0.7416 ÷ 1.03

Answer:
2.16 times
Explanation:
Given that,
Internal growth rate = 8 percent
Dividend payout ratio = 36 percent
Current profit margin = 5.8 percent
Therefore,
Internal Growth Rate = (1 - Dividend Payout Ratio) × ROA
8% = (1 - 36%) × ROA
0.08 = 0.64 × ROA
ROA = 0.08 ÷ 0.64
= 0.125
ROA = Profit Margin × Total Asset Turnover
0.125 = 0.058 × Total Asset Turnover
Total Asset Turnover = 0.125 ÷ 0.058
= 2.16 times
