Answer:

The marginal utility of peanut butter goes <u>down</u> and that of ice cream goes <u>up</u>.

Explanation:

The substitution effect states that when the price of a product falls, it will lead to a rise in the quantity demanded of the product as buyers will buy more of the product that is now relatively cheaper.

And as more of a good is bought, its marginal utility falls. And as less of a product is bought, its marginal utility increases.

Based on the above explanation therefore, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes <u>down</u> and that of ice cream goes <u>up</u> after Kawamura adjusts to the event.

This is because as more of peanut butter is bought due to the fall in its price, its marginal utility falls. And as less of ice cream is bought as it is now relatively more expensive, its marginal utility increases.

Answer:

Equivalents Units Of Production   Materials=  475,000  

Conversion Costs 450,000    

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory           $ 604,500

Explanation:

Direct materials costs of $ 935,750

Conversion costs of $ 4,554,000

Total Manufacturing Costs  $ 5489,750

                           Units                 % of Completion                EUP

                                                D.M         C.C                   D.M         C.C

         

Units completed 425,000     100           100              425,000      425,000

Ending Inventory  50,000      100           50                50,000        25000

Total Units Of Production                                        475,000        450,000                

Direct Materials= $ 935,750/ 475000= $ 1.97

Conversion Costs = $ 4,554,000/ 450,000= $ 10.12

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Direct Materials = 425,000 * 1.97= $ 837250

Conversion Costs = 425,000 *10.12= $ 4301,000

Total Cost of Manufacturing Units= $ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory           $ 604,500    

Direct Materials = 50,000 * 1.97= $ 98,500

Conversion Costs = 50,000 * 10.12= 506000

Total Costs                  $ 604,500

Neko [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is "$54000".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Annual depreciation rate will be:

= \frac{100 \ percent}{5}

= 20 (%)

hence,

The depreciation as per double decline will be:

= 2\times Annual \ depreciation \ rate\times Beginning \ value

By putting the values, we get

= 2\times 20 \ percent\times 135000

= 54000 ($)

Lena [83]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For the maximum amount that spend each month on mortgage payment is

= Gross annual income ÷ total number of months in a year × mortgage payment percentage

= $39,600 ÷ 12 months × 28%

= $924

b. . For the maximum amount that spend each month on total credit obligatons

= Gross annual income ÷ total number of months in a year × mortgage payment percentage

= $39,600 ÷ 12 months × 36%

= $1,188

c. Now the maximum amount spend for all other debt is

For monthly mortgage

= $924 × 70%

= $646.8

And, for mortgage debt

= $1,188 × 70%

= $831.60
