RamsayRamsay Travel offers helicopter service from suburban towns to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Eac

h of its 12 helicopters makes between 900 and 1,500 ​round-trips per year. The records indicate that a helicopter that has made 900​round-trips in the year incurs an average operating cost of ​$750 per​ round-trip, and one that has made 1,500 ​round-trips in the year incurs an average operating cost of ​$600 per​ round-trip.
1. Using the​ high-low method, estimate the linear relationship y=a + bX, where y is the total annual operating cost of a helicopter and X is the number of​ round-trips it makes to JFK airport during the year.
2. Give examples of costs that would be included in a and in b?
3. If RamsayRamsay Travel expects each helicopter to​ make, on​average, 1,200
round-trips in the coming​ year, what should its estimated operating budget for the helicopter fleet​ be?

Answer:

1) y = 337,500 + 375X

variable costs per trip (per helicopter) =  $375 per trip

fixed costs = $337,500

2) fixed costs (a) include depreciation expenses, licences, insurance, etc., while variable costs include fuel, salaries (if pilots are paid per flight), etc.

3)  operating budget for the whole fleet (12 helicopters) = $9,450,000

Explanation:

variable costs per trip (per helicopter) =  ($900,000 - $675,000) / (1.500 - 900) = $225,000 / 600 = $375 per trip

fixed costs = $900,000 - (1,500 x $375) = $900,000 - $562,500 = $337,500

the estimated operating budget per helicopter = $337,500 + (1,200 x $375) = $337,500 + $450,000 = $787,500

operating budget for the whole fleet (12 helicopters) = 12 x $787,500 = $9,450,000

The MU/P ratio for good X is greater than the MU/P ratio for good Y. To achieve consumer equilibrium, the consumer reallocates d
uysha [10]

Answer:

Falls:rises.

Explanation:

The MU/P (Marginal Utility/Price) ratio for good X is greater than the MU/P (Marginal Utility/Price) ratio for good Y. To achieve consumer equilibrium, the consumer reallocates dollars from the purchase of good Y to the purchase of good X. If the law of diminishing marginal utility holds, the marginal utility of good X falls and the marginal utility of good Y rises.

The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.

Also, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.

Hence, the marginal utility of good X falls and the marginal utility of good Y rises because the consumer no longer derive satisfaction or benefits (utility) from the consumption of good X while he would switch to good Y for satisfaction.
