Answer: Please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

When a consumer is choosing between two goods which are considered to be perfect substitutes , the optimal bundles choice will be the number of good x and good z that will yield maximum utility is found the ratio of Marginal utility of good x and marginal utility of good z equals the ratio of the Price of good x and the price of good z or The Marginal utility of good x per dollar must be equal to the marginal utility of good z per dollar.

Marginal Utility of good x = MUx

Marginal Utility of Good z = MUz

Utility function = U(qx,qz)

qx and qz maximises U(qx,qz) when

\frac{MUx}{MUz} = \frac{Px}{Pz}   or  \frac{MUx}{Px}  = \frac{MUz}{Pz}

When she receives the same marginal utility per dollar in good x and good y, utility is maximized

If a payback period for a project is greater than its expected useful life, the ___________.
just olya [345]

Answer: d. Entire initial investment will not be recovered.

Explanation:

The Payback period by definition is the amount of time it will take a Project to recover the initial investment into it. For example, if a project had an investment of $20 million and made $5 million every year, the Payback period would be 4 years.

Now, if the amount of time it will take to recover an investment is longer than the expected amount of time the project will run (expected useful life) then logically speaking that would mean that the Investment would not be entirely recovered because the project will be done before it can pay off the investment hence Option D is correct.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Simple rate of return is 5.8%

Therefore option (a) is correct option.

Explanation:

It is given that purchase cost = $793800

Company saving per year = $133000

Yielding = $21200

Annual depreciation = $88200

Annual profit = $133000 - $88200 = $44800

Net investment is equal to = $793800 - $21200 = $772600

Simple rate of return =\frac{44800}{772600}=0.0579

= 5.8%

Therefore simple rate of return is 5.8 %

So option (a) is correct.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The answer is: A) is the sum of all individual demand curves.

Explanation:
