Answer:

Buy more apples and fewer oranges

Explanation:

Utility is defined as the level of enjoyment or satisfaction that a person gets from consumption of a good or service.

Consumers logically try to maximise utility.

In the given instance we need to get the level of utility for apples and oranges to see which has more utility per unit cash spent.

For apples utility per cash spent = 30 units of utility ÷ 10 cents= 3 utility per cent

For oranges utility per cash spent = 40 units of utility ÷ 20 cents = 2 utility per cent

As apples have a higher utility per cent spent, it will be best Mary buys more apples and fewer oranges

Anna35 [415]

The output level is total profit highest in the short run is 40 .

<h3>What is meant by short run ?</h3>

The idea of the short run states that some inputs will be constant while others will change over a specific period of time. It expresses the notion that an economy responds to particular stimuli differently depending on the amount of time it has to do so.

In the short run, certain production parameters are stable and some are flexible. Only by increasing the application of the variable factor can output be enhanced. The scale of manufacturing stays steady in the short term. The lengthy run is a time when all production factors are erratic.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

B. A) population sizes, income levels and cultural influences, the current state of the infrastructure, and distribution and retail networks available. 

Explanation:

In a country where population is high, the demand for goods and services would be high and this would stimulate market growth. On the other hand, in a country where population is low, demand for products would be low and this can hinder market growth.

In a country where income level is high, demand for goods and services would also be high and this would stimulate market growth. The opposite is the case when income is low.

The presence of good infrastructure in a country enhances innovation and production and this can lead to market growth.

The presence of a strong and good retail network to enhance distribution of goods and services can lead to market growth as it assures producers of efficient distribution of goods and services produced.

I hope my answer helps you

Explanation:

sales: 28,400

increase of 12%

new sales:  31,808

<em><u>profirt margin:</u></em>

2,250/28,400 = 0.0792 = 7.92%

income: 31,808 x 7.92% = 2,519.19

retained earnigns grow: (1-payout ratio) = 0.6
