Answer:

Consumers should choose to take the flight.

Explanation:

The price of a rental car = $50

Marginal utility from the car = 20 utils

Now find the per dollar utility from car = $50 / 20 = 2.5

The price of a flight = $85

Marginal utility from the flight = 30 utils

Now find the per dollar utility from flight = $85 / 30 = 2.83

Since the per dollar, MU is greater in the case of flight so consumers should choose to take the flight.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that time interest earned ratio = Income before interest and taxes / interest expense.

Sales                                                                                           = 546000

less: cost of goods sold                                                            =  (<u>244410</u>)

            Gross profit                                                                       301590

Less: <u>expenses</u>

          Depreciation expense                                                      =( <u>61900   </u>)    

         Profit before interest and taxes                                         239690

Less: tax

      (239690 * 23%)                                                                =   (<u>55128</u>)            

                         Profit                                                                   184562

Profit - Retained earning Addition  = Interest

      184562 - 74300 = 110262.

Interest earned ratio = 239690 / 110262 = 2.17 times

Suppose the monopolist able to successfully price discriminate between two groups by charging one group $ 75 and charging $35 to
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The firm's profits if it charges the two prices as mentioned above = $ 1425

Explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Proof -

we calculate the profits individually for 2 different prices:

When price = $75:

Quantity sold = 15 units

Total revenue = 15 × 75 = $1125

Total cost = Marginal cost × quantity

                  = 20 x 15 = $ 300

⇒Total cost = $300

So,

Profit = 1125 - 300 = $825

When price = $35 :

Quantity sold = 55 - 15 (quantity purchased at price = $75)

⇒Quantity sold = 40

Total revenue = 40 × 35 = $1400

Total cost = Marginal cost × quantity

                 = 20 x 40 = $ 800

⇒Total cost = $800

So,

Profit = 1400 - 800 = $600

Now,

Total combined profit = 825 + 600 = $1425

∴ we get

The firm's profits if it charges the two prices as mentioned above = $ 1425
