Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Price of good A = Price of Good B = $2
Income = $20
Therefore, from the above information, the budget constraint is as follows:
2A + 2B = 20
Both goods have an intercept value of 10 with A=4 & B=6 and the slope of indifference curve shows that marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is falling. This means that as we consume more and more units of a good, the utility obtained from that good decreases.
The utility derived from good B decreases as we consume more and more units of a good, since it is in larger proximity to the intercepts value.
Therefore, the consumer will pay to purchase more of good A as compared to good B at this point.
Answer:
Stella should consume less of milk and more of cookies to maximize total utility.
Explanation:
The price of cookies is $9, and the price of milk is $3.
Stella consumes 10 cookies and 5 cartons of milk.
The marginal utility of 10th cookie is 50 utils and the marginal utility of 5th carton of milk is 25 utils.
Her total utility will be maximized if the ratio of marginal utility and price will be equal for both cookies and milk.
Ratio for cookies
= 
= 
= 5.55
Ratio for milk
= 
= 
= 8.33
Since the ratio is higher for milk, it means that Stella should consume less of milk and more of cookies to maximize total utility.
Answer:
dividend payment = $6
Explanation:
given data
sell = $65
pay = $65.74
require a return = 8%
solution
we will use here present value formula that is express as
current stock price ( present value ) =
........................1
$65.74 = 
here d is dividend
solve it we get
d = $6.00
so dividend payment = $6
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High cost - low cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)
= ($234,000 - $210,000) ÷ (24,000 hours -20,000 hours)
= $24,000 ÷ 4,000 hours
= $6
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $234,000 - (24000 hours × $6)
= $234,000 - $144,000
= $90,000
The high cost is computed below:
= 20,000 hours × $10.50
= $210,000
And, the low cost would be
= $24,000 hours × $9.75
= $234,000
