Answer:

Option A, buy less of X and more of Y is correct.

Explanation:

The amount that Mr. Rational is going to spend = $27

Quantity of good X = 5 units

Price of good X (Px) = $3 per unit

Marginal utility of 5th unit of X (MUx) = 30

Quantity of good Y = 6 units

Price of good Y (Py) = $2 per unit

Marginal utility of 6th unit of Y (MUy) = 18

Now \ find \  \frac{MUx}{Px} = \frac{30}{3} = 10 \\

Now \  \frac{MUy}{Py} = \frac{18}{2} = 9

Since \ the  \ \frac{MUx}{Px} is \ greater \ than \  \frac{MUy}{Py}.

So good x will be substituted for y in order to reach the consumer equilibrium.

\frac{MUx}{Px} =  \frac{MUy}{Py}

Thus, Option a. buy less of X and more of Y is correct.

Why must we always boil our drinking water during and after a cyclone has passed ​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.

The open-economy macroeconomic model examines the determination of a. unemployment and the exchange rate. b. the output growth r
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

c. the trade balance and the exchange rate.

Explanation:

An Open Economy is an economy that allows the free inflow and outflow of goods, services, capital and people. The opposite of a closed economy.

What sets these two models apart is that in an open economy, both imports and exports are allowed, so that countries necessarily have to trade in more than one currency, so the exchange rate must be examined. In addition, business transactions are recorded in a balance of payments. So these are the two concepts that are not tried in a closed economy analysis, but are introduced in an open economy.
