Consumers in Georgia pay twice as much for avocados as they do for peaches. However, avocados and peaches are equally priced in

California. If consumers in both states maximize utility, will the marginal rate of substitution of peaches for avocados be the same for consumers in both states? If not, which will be higher?

Answer: Explanation:

The marginal rate of substitution of peaches for avocados is the maximum amount of avocados that a  person is willing to give up to obtain one additional peach. When consumers maximize utility, they set their MRS equal  to the price ratio,  Pp/PA

where ,

P p  is the price of a peach and

PA is the price of an avocado.

In Georgia,  avocados cost twice as much as peaches, so the price ratio is ½ , but in California, the prices are the  same, so the price ratio is 1. Therefore, when consumers are maximizing utility (assuming they buy  positive amounts of both goods), the marginal rates of substitution will not be the same for consumers  in both states. Consumers in California will have an MRS that is twice as large as consumers in Georgia.

Assume the initial present value of the payments on a lease are equal to the cost of the leased asset. This capital lease is rec
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: D) present value of the remaining lease payments.

Explanation:

When recording a capital lease in the balance sheet of the lessee, the amount recorded is the<em> lower amount </em>between the present value of the remaining lease payments or the cost of the leased asset.

As the <em>cost</em> of the leased asset is <em>equal</em> to the <em>initial</em> present value of the payments, the cost will therefore be higher than the current present value of the remaining payments so the appropriate amount to put in the balance sheet will be the current present value of the remaining lease payments.
