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

klemol [59]

Answer:

67%

Explanation:

Money supply = Money multiplier * Deposit worth

3 = Money multiplier * 2

Money multiplier = 3/2

Money multiplier = 1.5

Now, Money multiplier = 1 / Reserve ratio

1.5 = 1 / Reserve ratio

Reserve ratio = 1/1.5

Reserve ratio = 0.6667

Reserve ratio = 67%

So, the percent of deposits the banks hold as reserves is 67%

The Johnson Family is looking to buy a new house on Belmont Road. Their insurance deductible is increased by $500 if they live m
user100 [1]

Answer:

a) Absolute Value Inequality => Absolute(0 + y) < 2

b) -2 < y < 2

Which means, Johnson Family has to live within the range of -2 to +2 from the fire department. Otherwise, they will have to pay 500 USD as increased deductible.

Explanation:

<u><em>Johnson Family has to live within the range of -2 to +2 from the fire department. </em></u>

<em>a) Absolute Value Equation:</em>

Absolute(0 + y) < 2

where y represent the location of the new house and 0 represents the location of the fire department.

Furthermore,

<em>Absolute(0 + y) < 2 = (0 + x) < 2 when (0 + y) is +ve. </em>

and

<em>Absolute(0+y) <2 =  -(0 + x) < 2 when (0 + y) is -ve. </em>

b) When (0 + y) is +ve,

we have,  (0 + y) < 2.

<em>Solving for y and subtracting 0 from both sides. </em>

0-0 + y < 2 - 0

<em>y < 2</em>

and when (0 + y) is -ve,

<em>we have, - (0 + y) < 2. </em>

Solving for y:

- 0 - y < 2

multiplying negative from both sides

<em>y > - 2</em>

<em>So, we have -2 < y < 2 </em>

<em>Johnson Family has to live within the range of -2 to +2 from the fire department. Otherwise, they will have to pay 500 USD as increased deductible. </em>
