. As you start consuming potato chips, your marginal utility is very high, but it begins to fall slowly until you've eaten 10 ch

ips. After you have eaten 10 chips, marginal utility decreases even faster with each additional chip. Marginal utility continues to decline until you’ve eaten 49 chips. The fiftieth chip does not give you any additional utility. After 50 chips, your mouth gets so salty that it is unpleasant to eat any more, so marginal utility is actually negative for those chips. How many chips should you eat in order to maximize your marginal utility?

Answer:

The correct answer is 10 chips.

Explanation:

A person is eating chips. Initially, the marginal utility is very high, but after 10 chips it starts declining. It declines till 49 chips and after that it becomes negative.  

We see that the marginal utility derived from the consumption of chips start to decline after consuming 10 chips.

This implies that marginal utility is being maximized at the consumption of 10 chips.  

So the utility-maximizing quantity of chips is 10 chips.

The rate on T-bills is currently 5%. P. Tree Company stock has a beta of 1.69 and a required rate of return of 15.4%. According
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

11.15%

Explanation:

Given that

Risk free rate of return= 5%

Beta = 1.69

Expected rate of return = 15.4%

As per capital asset pricing model

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

15.4% = 5% + 1.69 × (Market rate of return - 5%)

After solving this

Market rate of return = 11.15%

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$36,000

Explanation:

The computation of the lggie's salary is shown below:

= (Iggie salary in 1974) × (2003 price index ÷ 1974 price index)

= ($10,000) × (180 ÷ 50)

= $10,000 × 3.6

= $36,000

Since we have to compute the 2003 salary based on 1974 salary so we consider the 1974 salary and took the 2003 price index as a numerator and 1974 price index as a denominator.

On January 1, year 4, Purl Corp. purchased, as a long-term investment, $500,000 face value Shaw, Inc. 8% bonds for $456,200. The
Alla [95]

Answer:

$468,000

Explanation:

Since the bonds will be held to maturity and purchased at a discount, their value will increase as maturity approaches. On December 31, year 5, the bonds should be reported at $468,002 ≈ $468,000

investment balance = $456,200 + $5,620 (difference between interest receivable and interest revenue 2004) +$6,182 (difference between interest receivable and interest revenue 2005) =  $468,002

interest receivable 2004 = $500,000 x 8% = $40,000

interest revenue 2004 = $456,200 x 10% = $45,620

difference 2004 = $45,620 - $40,000 = $5,620

interest receivable 2005 = $500,000 x 8% = $40,000

interest revenue 2005 = ($456,200 + $5,620) x 10% = $46,182

difference 2005 = $46,182 - $40,000 = $6,182
