You go to an all-you-can-eat buffet. if you maximize utility, the marginal utility of the last bite that you eat will be:

1 answer:

4 0

In economics, there is what we call "Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility". This law can be applied when you maximize the satisfaction with every product you buy. In this case, with every bite you get you get the most of it. As a result, your appetite gets less and less with every more bite that you take. Therefore, the last bite would have the least value of marginal utility.

Carla Vista Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $385,000 (units 5,500), variable cost

Neko [114]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Selling Price = Sales ÷ Units Sold

Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷ 5500

= $70

Now

Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)

= $77

Now

Expected Sales = 5500 × $77

= $423,500

Now

Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost

= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000

Sales = $385000

Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600

Sales $385,000

Less: variable cost -$215,600

Contribution Margin $169,400

Les: fixed cost -$94,000

Net Income $75,400

As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.

If the Federal Reserve lowers the target federal funds rate, Group of answer choices the discount rate rises liquidity in the ba

navik [9.2K]

Answer: Liquidity in the banking system is increased

Explanation:

The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to lend each other their excess reserves overnight to meet reserve requirements.

If this rate were to be reduced, it would make lending cheaper between banks who would then take advantage of this to borrow more occasionally. This will then translate to a higher liquidity amongst the banks.

Imagine that both the skycar and jet powered wing become sold commercially. What hospitality and tourism businesses might develo

Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

Companies could improve and implement differentiated services for customers.

What could probably happen is that tour companies offer a personalized service, faster and cheaper with the possibility of purchasing a skycar and jet, as hotel guests usually make a tour itinerary that requires high mobility costs, therefore offering this differentiated and cheaper service directly at the establishment would mean a focused differentiation strategy that would add several benefits, such as increased profitability and customer loyalty.

viva [34]

Answer:

Y = 300

government multiplier 2

output demanded increase by 20

If income tax is applied:

Y = 272.72

multipliers: 2.253775

increase 22.53775 billons

As disclosure it has a larget effect when the income tax is levied based on income rather than a flat rate.

Explanation:

DI = Y - 100

C = 30 + 0.6(Y - 100)

C = 30 - 60 + 0.6Y

C = 0.6Y - 30

Y = C + G + I

Y = (0.6Y -30) + 120 + 30

Y = 120 / 0.4 = 300

C = (0.6)300 - 30 = 150

With C we solve for the multiplier:

150/300 = 0.5

1 / (1 - 0.5) = 2

10 x 2 = 20

If variable that:

C = 30 + 0.6 (0.75Y)

C = 30 + 0.45Y

Y = 0.45Y + 120 + 30

Y = 150/.55 = 272,72

C = 30 + 0.45Y = 152,72

Propensitivity to consume:

152.72/272.72 = 0,5563

multiplier:

1 (1 - PMC) = 2.253775073
