Answer:

a) 3X + 2Y = 36

b) X = 6 , Y = 9

c) 27

Explanation:

Individual consumes : X and Y

Spends : $36 per time period

unit cost : $3 per unit for X

                 $2 per unit for Y

utility function : U( X, Y ) = .5XY

<u>A) Budget equation mathematically</u>

X* Px + Y* Py = M

3X + 2Y = 36

Px and Py = unit cost for X and Y

M = Total spent ( revenue )

<u>b) Values of X and Y that will maximize utility </u>

Maximum utility ( MRS )  = Px / Py ,

MRS = MUx / MUy

 = Y/X  = 3/2

∴ 2Y = 3X

From BC : 6X = 36 ( X = 6 plug into mathematically equation above )

∴ X = 6 , hence Y = 9

<u>c) Total utility generated per unit of time </u>

U( X,Y ) = .5XY

            = 0.5 * 6 * 9 = 27

What is the difference between SG&amp;A costs and Indirect costs?
nlexa [21]

SG&A is an initialism used in accounting to refer to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, which is a major non-production cost presented in an income statement.

Indirect costs are costs that are not directly accountable to a cost object. Indirect costs may be either fixed or variable. Indirect costs include administration, personnel and security costs. These are those costs which are not directly related to production. Some indirect costs may be overhead.

Given:

Cost of goods sold = $44,621

Accounts payable = $8,403

Days sales in payable = ?

Days sales in payable = 68.7365814

Days sales in payable = 68.74 days(Approx)
