Answer:
Katie Kwasi's Utility Function
The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:
= 40 units of x1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2
Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:
= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2
= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2
Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint. If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Explanation:
Given:
Monthly payment for 6 months = $30 per month
Time period = 6 month (6 periods)
Monthly interest rate = 2%
In order to compute borrowed amount, present value of these payments need to be computed which is an annuity as same amount of $30 is paid.
Checking PVIFA table for 2%, 6 periods, annuity factor is 5.6014.
Borrowed amount = Monthly payment × PVIFA(2%,6)
= 30 × 5.6014
= $168.042
Borrowed amount is $168.042 or $168.22 approximately (difference in value due to annuity factor being rounded off)
Answer:
n = 40
i = 3% (semiannual)
face value = $80 million
coupon payment = $2,000,000
market price:
PV of face value = $80 / (1 + 3%)⁴⁰ = $24.52 million
PC of coupon payments = $2 x 23.115 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 40 periods) = $46.23 million
market value = $70.75 million
