It can be C because it's accepting the risk to do it
But it can also be B because it's sharing the risk with everyone else
Answer:
B. Ben
Explanation:
Ben is the one that is less likely to show emotions or be upset when reprimanded. This is because Ben is the oldest amongst those listed and also a Male. Older males less likely experience high level of negative emotions when compared with younger individuals or their female counterparts. Younger people are said to experience high negative emotions when compared with older people. Females also have higher level of emotions, so they will definitely be upset after facing reprimand.
Answer: 1 unit of X and 2 units of Y
Explanation: Total utility is the complete satisfaction you get from maximising usage of a quantity of a good or service. However another element also needs to be considered, and that is marginal utility. Marginal utility is the satisfaction you get from consuming an additional quantity of a good or service.
Both these factors are important as they determine how much of each product the consumer should buy. To maximise total utility, the consumer must use the full $10 income. But the question still stands as to which combination of products should the consumer purchase.
To make it fair the consumer should start by purchasing one of X and one of Y, and keep taking one of each (starting with X) to keep it fair. However after taking one of X, worth $2, and one of Y, worth $4, there is only $4 left. That means that if the consumer then takes one of X there will be $2 left, disallowing the consumer to afford X, and thus making the purchases unfair. Therefore in terms of meeting the marginal utlility, it is better to then swop to purchasing Y with the remaining $4, and maximising the consumer's total utility.
