Answer:

3) coffee since it gives her the most marginal utility per dollar

Explanation:

Utility refers to the satisfaction expressed in utils which a consumer derives post consuming a unit of a product.

Marginal utility refers to the addition to total utility derived upon consumption of an extra unit of a product. It is expressed as:

MU = TU_{x} \ -\ TU_{x\ -\ 1}

where MU= Marginal Utility

           TU= Total Utility

            x =  no of units consumed

In the given case, marginal utility per unit of $ would be;

For coffee: 10 units per dollar

For Juice: 16units/$2 i.e 8 units per dollar.

As is evident, marginal utility per dollar of coffee is higher so she should prefer buying coffee.

Compare the world population index for 1960 to the world population index for 2000. then express the world population in 2000 as
kirill115 [55]

The answer is 200%.

If we see the world population index and compare the population in 1960 and 2000, we see that population in 2000 is double than 1960. 

World population in 1960 = 3,007,751

World population in 2000 = <span>6,104,538 which is approximately double than 1960.</span>

So when we express it as percentage multiply 2 with 100 and we get the percentage 200.

5. The International Property Right Index scores countries based on the legal and political environment and how well property ri
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

I used the most recent figures of the international property rights index (year 2019), and the most recent GDP per capita estimamtes by the IMF in purchasing power parity. (year 2019)

Three countries with high scores, with GDP per capita (PPP):

  1. Finland - score of 8.712 - U$ 46.430
  2. Switzerland - score of 8.571 - U$ 64.649
  3. United States - score of 8.202 - U$ 62.606

Three countries with low scores, with GDP per capita (PPP):

  1. Ukraine - score of 4.432 - U$ 9.283
  2. Pakistan - score of 3.874 - U$ 5.680
  3. Haiti - score of 2.703 - U$ 1.864

The pattern that we find is that there is a strong correlation between the International Property Right Index scores and the GDP per capita figures. This is consistent with the findings in other similar rankings such as the Global Competitiveness Report, published by the World Economic Forum, and the Economic Freedom Index, published by the Heritage Foundation.

What can be interpreted is that property rights, and the strong enforcement of those property rights promote economic development and growth. This is because the protection of private property stimulates human action. For example, the United States has a strong judiciary, and rule of law. In this country, people can invest their money in a project with the certainty that those invesments will not be expropriated by an arbitrary judiciary. This promotes development because investing leads to higher economic output.

Those same incentives do not exist in countries that do not enforce property rights, and that is one of the main reasons why they are poor.

The marion's clothing has a gross profit of $700,000 and $240,000 in depreciation expense. the preston's pants also has $700,000
bogdanovich [222]
So, doing the calculations, Marion's had $700,000-240,000=$460,000-160,000 in expenses = $300,000 x 0.4 income tax=120,000 and so 300,000-120,000=$180,000 net value. Preston's had $700,000-40,000 depreciation=$660,000-160,000 expenses =$500,000 x 0.4 taxes= 200,000 taxes so 500,000-200,000=$300,000 net value. The result is Preston's had less depreciation which provided it with more spendable income.
