Answer:

80 units

Explanation:

Given:

  • Price: $25 we have: 100 units
  • Price: $20, how many units to maximize the total utility

Let X is the number of units we need to find

As we know that, the law of equal-marginal utility a consumer spends his or her income among goods so that utilities receive from the amount spent is equal. So we use a simple rule of three:

$25    100 units of utility

$20      X

<=> 25X = 20*100

<=> X = 80 units

Hope it will find you well.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1. Gross profit ratio= Gross Profit/ Sales *100    

-Sales $ 20510,000      

-Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold  =20,510,000 - 12,550,000 = 7,960,000  

Gross Profit Ratio= 7,960,000 / 20,510,000 * 100

= 38.81%

2.Return on Assets= Net income after tax / Average Total assets  

Where Average Total assets= (9,800,000+8,160,000) / 2= 8,980,000

Where Net income after tax= 1,940,000

Return on Assets = 1,940,000 / 8,980,000 * 100 = 21.60%

3.Profit Margin= Net income/ Sales *100    

=1,940,000 /20,510,000 *100

= 9.46%    

4. Total Assets turnover= Sales / Average assets    

=20,510,000 / 8,980,000

=2.28 times  

5 Return on Equity: Net income after tax/ Average stockholder's equity  

Where Average Stockholder's equity: (2,050,000 +3,190,000 + 1990000 + 1766000) / 2 = $4498,000

Return on Equity: 1940000/4498,000 *100

= 43.13%

You are a​ risk-averse investor who is considering investing in one of two economies. The expected return and volatility of all
galben [10]

Answer:

It's best to invest in the second economy

Explanation:

The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.

In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.

In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290

Explanation:

Arundel Company uses aging to estimate uncollectibles.

Estimated uncollectibles = $250,000 x ( 1 - 99.5%) + $70,000 x (1 - 91%) + $30,000 x (1 - 73%) + $8,000 x (1 - 17%) = $1250 + $6,300 + $8,100 + $6,640 = $22,290

The current unadjusted Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts balance is a debit balance of $2,000.

Bad debt Expense = $22,290 + $2,000 = $24,290

The adjusting entry:

Debit Bad debt Expense $24,290

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $24,290

After the adjusting entry is made, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is a credit balance of $22,290
