Christopher likes cupcakes (C) and muffins (M). His preferences can be represented by the utility function U(C, M) = C0.5M0.5. H

e received a gift basket with 16 cupcakes and 4 muffins, but when he was about to eat them, he found out his younger brother Dan had eaten 14 cupcakes and 2 muffins. Christopher made Dan buy what he'd eaten back. However, the bakery was out of muffins and Dan only bought cupcakes. How many cupcakes did Dan buy if, in addition to what he had not eaten from the basket, the new cupcakes provide Christopher with the same level of utility as the original gift basket?

Answer:

16 cupcakes

Explanation:

U(C, M) = C⁰°⁵ x M⁰°⁵ = √C x √M

total utility obtained by eating 16 cupcakes and 4 muffins = √16 x √4 = 4 + 2 = 6

since the bakery is out of muffins, then utility function = √C x √2 = √C x 1.4142

√C x 1.4142 = 6

√C = 6 / 1.4142 = 4.2426

C = 4.2426² = 18

since there were 2 cupcakes left, Christopher must purchase 18 - 2 = 16 cupcakes

Answer:

Answer not in the given option, please recheck for error.

depreciation in 2021 would be= $82,000

Explanation:

Depreciation  incurrred in 2019:

Using straight line depreciation = original cost - salvage value / useful life

=(400,000-40,000)/10

=$36,000

The depreciation from January 1, 2019 to December 31st 2020 = 2 years

therefore depreciation  for the two years = $36,000 x 2 = $72,000

Book value recorded early 2021= Original cost - the A ccumulated Deprecaition

= 400,000- 72,000= $328,000

But Remaining useful life =4 years with no salvge value

Therefore depreciation in 2021 would be  = Cost - salvage value / useful life

($328,000 - 0)/4

= $82,000

Berry Corporation has 100,000 shares of $10 par common stock authorized. The following transactions took place during 2017, the
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$570,000

Explanation:

The computation of total paid-in capital is shown below:-

Common stock issued for cash

Cash Dr, $270,000      (20,000 × $13.50)

           To Common Stock $200,000    (20,000 × $10)

         To Additional paid in capital $70,000   (20,000 × ($13.50 - $10)

(Being common stock issued for cash is recorded)

Common stock issued for patent

Patent (FMV of patent) Dr, $300,000

              To Common Stock $200,000     (20,000 × $10)

To Additional paid in capital $100,000          (20,000 × $10 ÷ 2)

(Being common stock issued for patent is recorded)

For recording this two entries we debited the cash as it rise assets and at the same time it also rise the overall stockholder equity so common stock and the additional paid in capital for common stock is credited

So,

Total paid in capital = Common Stock + Additional paid in capital

= ($200,000 + 200,000) + ($70,000 + $100,000)

= $400,000 + $170,000

= $570,000

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The effect of this transaction is a gain of $2,500 on disposal.

Explanation:

Cost of motor = $15000

Accumulated depreciation = $12000

Net book or carrying value = 15000 - 12000

                                             = $3,000

Income from disposal = $5,500

Gain/(loss) on disposal = $5,500 - $3,000

                                      = $2,500

The effect of this transaction is a gain of $2,500 on disposal.
