Answer: 18.8%

Explanation:

Simple rate of return on investment = Incremental net operating income / investment

Incremental net income = Operating savings - Annual cost

= 145,000 - 420,000/6 years

= $75,000

Net investment = Cost of new machine - salvage value of old

= 420,000 - 21,000

= $399,000

Return on investment = 75,000/399,000

= 18.8%

Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

The following rule should be use to choose the optimal quantities of two goods:

\frac{MU\ of\ Juice}{Price\ of\ Juice} =\frac{MU\ of\ HDTVs}{Price\ of\ HDTVs}

Marginal utility refers to the utility that a consumer can get from the additional unit of a commodity.

\frac{MU\ of\ Juice}{MU\ of\ HDTVs} =\frac{Price\ of\ Juice}{Price\ of\ HDTVs}

From the above equation, we can predict that marginal utility from the last TV is greater than the marginal utility obtained from the last gallon of juice. We know that Juice is less expensive as compared to the price of TV.
