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
Answer: $2500
Explanation:
From the question,
Average variable cost(AVC) = $50
Average total cost (ATC) = $75
Output (Q) = 100
Since Average fixed cost is the difference between the average total cost and the average Variable cost. This will be:
AFC = ATC - AVC
AFC = $75 - $50
AFC = $25
We should note that:
AFC = TFC / Q
TFC = AFC × Q
TFC = $25 × 100
TFC = $2500
Therefore, total fixed cost is $2500
Answer: 16.55%
Explanation:
Profit margin is the amount of earnings that a company has left when every expenses and costs have been deducted.
From the information given, firstly, we calculate the return on equity. This will be:
= Growth rate /(1 + Growth rate) × Retention ratio
= 8% / (1 + 8%) × 46%
= 0.08/(1 + 0.08) × 0.46
= 0.08/1.08 × 0.46
= 0.08/0.4968
= 0.1610
= 16.10%
Return on equity, ROE = 16.10%
We then calculate the profit margin. This will be:
= ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier
where,
Equity Multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio
= 1 + 0.37 = 1.37
Profit margin = ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier
= 16.10% / {(1/1.41) × 1.37}
= 16.10% / 0.71 × 1.37
= 0.1610 / 0.9727
= 0.1655
Profit margin = 16.55%

Answer: a) true
Explanation:
The costs incurred to produce the intermediate products have already been incurred and as such are referred to as sunk costs.
They will not change regardless of whether the good is sold before further processing or if it is sold after. They therefore do not matter in the decision to either process or sell and so are not considered.
