Answer:

The price of product Y is B) $2 per unit.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the satisfaction derived from the consumption of an additional unit of a product or commodity. When calculating for the utility maximization, one has to consider four things;- The products or commodities in question as well their different prices. The utility maximization is calculated using the formula; MU(X) ÷ P(X) = MU(Y) ÷ P(Y). MU(X) and P(X) here represents marginal utility of product X and price of X  respectively while MU(Y) and P(Y) represents marginal utility of Y and price of product Y respectively. This is thus solved without the price of Y. So, P(Y) is an unknown assumed as A.

Therefore, MU(X) ÷ P(X) = MU(Y) ÷ P(Y) is replaced with figures; 40 utils ÷ $5 = 16 utils ÷ $A

Using cross multiplication, we have 40A = 80; A = 80 ÷ 40 = 2

Therefore. $2 per unit is the price of product Y

Why does actual group productivity never equal potential productivity?
Rama09 [41]

The answer to the question is (C) time is lost to coordinating and organizing group members.

Actual group productivity is never quite equal to the expected productivity mainly because there are other processes involved in the team that the team members must do in order to reach the set common goal. Some of these processes usually include determining how to do the work and distributing the assignments to the right person, as well as setting the roles in the team.

Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.3 and an expected return of 21%. Portfolio B has a beta of .7 and an
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Portfolio A and Portfolio B

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

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

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) = Market risk premium

Let us assume the market risk premium be X

For Portfolio A:

21% = 8% + 1.3 × X

13% = 1.3  × X

So, the X = 10%

For Portfolio B:

17% = 8% + 0.7 × X

9% = 0.7  × X

So, the X = 12.86%

Based on the market risk premium calculations, we can conclude that Portfolio A should be in short position while Portfolio B should be in long position as portfolio B has higher market risk premium than B
