Answer:

Options C and E

Only Nick and Jake are optimising over his choice of fruit?

Explanation:

The marginal utility obtained from the purchase of a product is the amount of satisfaction derived from purchasing an additional unit of the product.

The utility is maximised when the satisfaction in terms of marginal utilities obtained from each product is equal to each other.

We obtain this simply by dividing the marginal utilities for each fruit by their price, and comparing them.

Dmitiri:

Apples: 8/1 =8

Pears: 10/2 =5

8/1 is not equals to 10/2

Frances:

Apples: 7/1 =7

Pears: 16/2 =8

7 is not equals to 8

Jake:

Apples: 6/1 =6

Pears: 12/2 =6

The marginal utility is equal hence Jake's choice is optimal

Latasha:

Apples: 5/1 =9

Pears: 9/2 =4.5

9 is not equals to 4.5

Nick:

Apples: 4/1 =4

Pears: 8/2 =4

The marginal utility is equal hence Nick's choice is optimal

Nash Company purchases equipment on January 1, Year 1, at a cost of $480,000. The asset is expected to have a service life of 12
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Under the straight line method

= (Purchase value of an equipment - salvage value) ÷ (service life)

= ($480,000 - $43,200) ÷ (12 years)

= ($436,800) ÷ (12 years)  

= $36,400

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

So

Year 1 = $36,400

Year 2 = $36,400

Year 3 = $36,400

2. Under the sum of the years digit method

Depreciation factor is

= n × (n + 1) ÷ 2

= 12 × (12 + 1) ÷ 2

= 78

Now the depreciation expense is

Year 1

=  ($480,000 - $43,200)  × (12 years) ÷ (78 years)

= $67,200

Year 2

=  ($480,000 - $43,200)  × (11 years) ÷ (78 years)

= $61,600

Year 3

=  ($480,000 - $43,200)  × (10 years) ÷ (78 years)

= $56,000
