Answer:
Yes, there is no need to change the eatings habits
Explanation:
Ari will maximize utility until
MU / P for both is equal in order to be at equilibrium
So, in this case,
For Hot dogs
= MU / P
where
MU is marginal utils, which is 20
P is Price, which is $2
So,
= 20 / $2
= 10
For Hamburgers
= MU / P
where
MU is marginal utils, which is 25
P is Price, which is $2.5
So,
= 25 / $2.5
= 10
Therefore, MU / P for hot dog = MU / P for Hamburger
Hence, there is not need to change the eatings habits.
Answer: 6.48%
Explanation:
This can be solved using the Quantity theory of money;
MV = PY
When dealing with changes, formula changes to;
% change in Money Supply + %change in velocity = %change in price + %change in real GDP
Velocity has been stable so will be zero.
change in money supply = 3.70% + 2.78%
= 6.48%
I would say your answer is A.
Glad I could help, and good luck!
Answer:
A) PED = 1.1
B) demand is elastic
C) Danny's total revenue would decrease
Explanation:
we can calculate the price elasticity of demand using the formula:
PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = [(300 - 250) / 250] / [(2.25 - 2.75) / 2.75] = (50 / 250) / (-0.5 / 2.75) = 0.2 / 0.18 = 1.1
since PED = 1.1, the demand is elastic
if the PED is the same when the price decreases from $2.25 to $1.75, total revenue will :
when price = $2.25, total revenue = $2.25 x 300 = $675
when price = $1.75, total revenue = $1.75 x 373 = $652.75
*a 22.22% decrease in the price will cause a 24.44% increase (= 22.22% x 1.1) in the quantity demanded = 300 units + (300 x 24.44%) = 373.3 ≈ 373 units
Answer:
Option 3: $12 down with equal payments of $5 for 12 months
Explanation:
In option 1 :
The cost is $ 88,
In option 2 :
Down payment = $ 5,
Weekly payment = $ 8,
Number of weeks = 10,
So, the total cost = 5 + 8 × 10 = 5 + 80 = $ 85,
In option 3 :
Down payment = $ 12,
Monthly payment = $ 5,
Number of months = 12,
So, the total cost = 12 + 5 × 12 = 12 + 60 = $ 72,
In option 4 :
Down payment = $ 20,
Monthly payment = $ 20,
Number of months = 12,
So, the total cost = 12 + 20 × 12 = 12 + 240= $ 252
∵ 72 < 85 < 88 < 252
Hence, option 3 is better.
