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.

Assume that the relationship between test scores and the student-teacher ratio can be modeled as a linear function with an inter
lianna [129]

Answer:

The correct option is D) reduce test scores by 4.56 for every school district.

Explanation:

Based on the information in the question, the relationship between test scores and the student-teacher ratio can be mathematically written as follows:

x = 698.9 - 2.28y .................... (1)

Where,

x = test scores

y = student-teacher ratio

The a slope of (-2.28) indicates the amount by which x will change whenever there is a change in y.

Therefore, when there is a decrease in the student teacher ratio by 2 (i.e. y = 2), we will have:

Change in x = -2.28 * 2 = -4.56

The negative sign therefore indicate that the test scores will reduce by 4.56 for every school district. Therefore, the correct option is D) reduce test scores by 4.56 for every school district.

An investment adviser has a client who wants to save for college for her child. the child will be entering college in five years. this would be an example of <u>an </u><u>investment constraint</u>.

More about investment constraint :

The variables that restrict or limit an investor's range of investment possibilities are known as investment restrictions. The limitations may be internal or external restrictions. While external restrictions are produced by an outside party, such as a government agency, internal constraints are produced by the investor themselves.

Cash expenditures anticipated and necessary at a given point in the future that are often more than the revenue available are referred to as liquidity constraints. Time Horizon restrictions refer to the time frames over which the portfolio's returns are anticipated to meet particular needs in the future.

Tax constraints depend on when, how, and if returns of different types are taxed. Legal and Regulatory constraints are mostly externally generated and may affect only institutional investors

IgorC [24]

Answer:a. The company will be $11,000 better off over the 5 year period if it replaces the old machine.

Explanation:

The purchase of the new machine will bring the annual operating expenses to $9,000 compared to the $15,000 been spent on the old machine which brings in a savings of $6000 and when this is added to the $ 5000 increase sales revenue from the new machine, it means the company will be better off by $11,000 over the next five year if it replaces the old machine.

There is no justification for being $12,000, $20,000 or $6000 better off over the next five year by either replacing or keeping the old machine.
