Answer: C beyond a certain point, total utility decreases as income rises
- Diminishing marginal utility means that beyond certain point, the total utility from consuming a good decreases, and increasing its consumption monotonically, makes that every additional unit of consumption delivers less utility each time.
- This is because most behavioral consumers models try to emulate the principle of scarcity: the less available units of a good, the more it values.
- Then, an increasing income would allow us to buy more and more goods, and because of the existance of diminishing marginal utility, we would get less utility from consuming additional units of every goods each time.
- As an <u>example</u>,one could think about eating chocolate. The first bar would give us much happiness (utility), but increasing the number of bars consumed would eventually vanish this "happiness".

Answer:
31.12
Explanation:
Given that,
Growing at a constant rate = 6.5%
Firm’s last dividend, R = 3.36
Required rate of return = 18%
Expected dividend next year = 3.36 × (1 + 6.5%)
= 3.5784
Market value of stock:
= Expected dividend next year ÷ ( required return - growth rate)
= 3.5784 ÷ (0.18-0.065)
= 31.11652
= 31.12
Answer:
The YTM is less than 10%
Explanation:
If a coupon rate of a bond is greater than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a premium. The Bond's current price would be greater than its Face value
If a coupon rate of a bond is less than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a discount. The bonds current price would be less than its face value
In this Question, the bond's current price ($1,197.93) is greater than its face
($1,000) which means that the bond is trading at a premium. Therefore, we can conclude that the bond's YTM is less than its coupon payment. In this question the coupon rate is 10%, therefore the YTM should be less than 10%.
