Solution :

U(A, B) = 5A + 2B

a). Bundles (40, 5) = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.

So, U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)

   (40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)

     210 - 4  = 5x

       x = 41.2

So Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. The indifference curve though (40, 5) also include bundle.

Therefore, (41.2, 2)

b). $MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$

                  $=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$

                  $=\frac{2}{5}$

                 = 0.4

So Alexander  has 40 apples and 5 bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up 0.4 unit apples for a banana.

valkas [14]

Answer:

The bid amount should be $13,200,264.

Explanation:

An oil and gas producing company owns 42,000 acres of land in a southeastern state.

It operates 630 wells which produce 18,000 barrels of oil per year and 1.7 million cubic feet of natural gas per year.

The revenue from the oil is ​$1,800,000 per year and for natural gas the annual revenue is ​$581,000 per year.

Total Annual Revenue

= Revenue from oil + Revenue from gas

= $1,800,000 + $581,000

= $2,381,000

The bid amount should be the present worth of total annual revenue.

Present Worth of total annual revenue

= Revenue \times\ \frac{( 1 + i )^{n} -1 }{i (1 + i)^{n} }

= $2,381,000\ \times\ \frac{( 1 + 0.11 )^{9} -1 }{0.11 × (1 + 0.11)^{9} }

= $2,381,000\ \times\ \frac{( 1.11 )^{9} -1 }{0.11 × (1.11)^{9} }

= $2,381,000\ \times\ \frac{2.5580 - 1 }{0.11 × 2.5580 }

= $2,381,000\ \times\ \frac{1.5580 }{0.281}

= $2,381,000\ \times\ 5.544

= $13,200,264

Long term Dr, XXXXXXXX

To Cash

Long-term debt is a liability which usually has a credit balance. Therefore, until the long-term debt is entirely repaid, the long-term debt account has to be debited to pay it off entirely from the account books. In another hand, the cash account has to be paid, because there is a cash outflow.
