Options C and E
Only Nick and Jake are optimising over his choice of fruit?
Explanation:
The marginal utility obtained from the purchase of a product is the amount of satisfaction derived from purchasing an additional unit of the product.
The utility is maximised when the satisfaction in terms of marginal utilities obtained from each product is equal to each other.
We obtain this simply by dividing the marginal utilities for each fruit by their price, and comparing them.
Dmitiri:
Apples: 8/1 =8
Pears: 10/2 =5
8/1 is not equals to 10/2
Frances:
Apples: 7/1 =7
Pears: 16/2 =8
7 is not equals to 8
Jake:
Apples: 6/1 =6
Pears: 12/2 =6
The marginal utility is equal hence Jake's choice is optimal
Latasha:
Apples: 5/1 =9
Pears: 9/2 =4.5
9 is not equals to 4.5
Nick:
Apples: 4/1 =4
Pears: 8/2 =4
The marginal utility is equal hence Nick's choice is optimal
Answer: An increase in government spending
Explanation:
Currency appreciation is an increase in the worth of one currency against the value of another currency. Due to the appreciation of a currency, imports get cheaper.
In a small open economy, the appreciation of the real exchange rate can be caused by an increase in government spending as this puts pressure on domestic currency to appreciate, which leads to current account deterioration.
Answer:
coupon rate= 13.5%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods= 5*2= 10 semesters
Par value= $1,000
YTM= 0.1/2 = 0.05
Price bond= $1,136
<u>To calculate the coupon rate, first, we need to determine the coupon per semester using the following formula:</u>
Bond Price= coupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
1,136 = coupon*{[1 - (1.05^-10)] / 0.05} + [1,000/(1.05^10)]
1,136 = coupon*7.722 + 613.91
522.09 = coupon*7.722
$67.61=coupon
<u>Now, the coupon rate:</u>
Coupon= par value*(coupon rate/2)
67.61= 1,000*(coupon rate/2)
67.61= 500coupon rate
0.135=coupon rate
coupon rate= 13.5%
Answer:
B) satisfying the changing needs of current and new customers.
Explanation:
When a restaurant wants to introduce a new dish, it's best to test the market response to the dish before listing it on the standard menu. A type of test would be offering the dish only in special occasions, when sales are higher, and more potential customers visit the restaurant.
Another way is to simply offer the dish in a normal weekday, and see how people respond to it under regular conditions.
