The three part process for problem solving are:
1. Analyse the problem: take the problem into parts and consider what could be done and what could not be done.
2. Solve for the unknown: decide on a suitable solution based on the results of the analysis that you carried out.
3. Evaluate the answer: Evaluate your solution to see if it the very best you can come up with.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation:BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE is a term used in the financial Securities market to mean the NET INCOME available to common shareholders.
DILLUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE is a term used in the financial Securities market to describe the outstanding profits available to common shareholders, after all the preferred stocks, warrants,convertible securities have been converted to common stocks.

It basic earnings and diluted earning per share will definitely not be the same for such a firm.
Answer:
The answer is: 36.2 months
Explanation:
First, let us calculate the total amount to be repaid after interest has been added.
interest = 8.25% = 0.0825
interest in amount = 0.0825 × 20,000 = $1,650
Total amount to be repaid = Original amount + interest
= 20,000 + 1,650 = $21,650
Next, we are told that the repayment is made monthly at $596.59 per month, therefore number of months required to pay $21,650;
$596.59 = 1 month
∴ $21,650 = 21,650 ÷ 596.59 = 36.28 = 36.3 months ( to one decimal place)
Answer:
a. Toby is not maximizing his utility
b. Toby should reduce his spending on cashew and increase his spending on peanuts.
Explanation:
a. Is Toby maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? If so, explain how you know.
Toby will maximize his utility when we have:
MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc
Where;
MUp/Pp = Marginal utility of peanut divided by price of peanut = 100/10 = 10
MUc/Pc = Marginal utility of cashew divided by price of cash = 200/25 = 8
From the above, Toby is not maximizing his utility. I am able to know this because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8). An Toby will only maximize his utility when MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
b. If not, how should he rearrange his spending?
Since MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc (i.e. 10 > 8), Toby should reduce his spending on cashew in order to increase MUc and increase his spending on peanuts reduce MUp until MUp/Pp = MUc/Pc.
