Answer:

$1 per pound

Explanation:

Marginal utility is defined as the additional satisfaction that a person gains from consumption of an additional unit of a product.

Since Robinson spends all of his money on mangoes and bananas his the marginal utility per price of each product will be equal.

This is called equi marginal utility (Gossens second law).

Marginal utility of mango ÷ price of mango = marginal utility of banana ÷ price of banana

30 ÷ 3 = 10 ÷ price of mango

10 = 10 ÷ price of mango

Cross multiply

Price of mango * 10 = 10

Price of mango = 10 ÷ 10 = $1 per pound

Why is gdp an imperfect measurement of total production in the​ economy?
ra1l [238]
First of all, GDP does not include household production, production from the underground economy, intermadiate goods or intermediate servces. That is because we define GDP to be the total of all market values of all final goods and services in the country. Hence, the correct answer by the above definition cannot be d. The point of that definition is that household products cannot have a market value and that if we counted towards the GDP both the value of a Graphics Card and that of the PC, we would double count the value of the Graphics Card, thus overestimating the GDP. We see that the value of new houses are included in GDP since they need materials and services and they have a market value, so b is also excluded. Finally, we have shown that b is true but that this is a good thing and leads to a better estimate of total production; the correct answer is a. Here is an example. If there is an economy where in every house there is plenty of wood and people make wood dolls out of tradition, these dolls will not have a market value if they are kept by the people who made them. Nonetheless they are products too and everyone could just try to sell them the next day at a reasonable price; then, the GDP would get a bump out of nowhere, because it cannot account for household items or the underground economy.

Return on  Investment = 83% or 0.83

What steps can Janet take to avoid falling prey to
julia-pushkina [17]

The steps that Janet can take to avoid falling prey to deceptive advertising are the following:

  • <em>Do her research</em>
  • <em>Know what she wants</em>
  • <em>Trust her judgement</em>

  • However, if Janet has already fallen prey to deceptive or false advertising, which is illegal, she can file a lawsuit against the company.

  • The lawsuit aims to recover damages from the company for misleading her into making a purchase or payment for goods or services whose advertising was deceptive.

  • It is generally unethical for a company to mouth a deceptive advertising.

Thus, Janet may not only trust online resources or purchase products from one retailer, she should carry out proper research based on what she wants before trusting her judgement.
