Answer: 3
Explanation:
The marginal rate of substitution simply means the rate at which one good will be exchanged for another good based on the current market price.
Since you like servants three times as much as robots, this implies that the utility that one gets from one servant is exactly like the utility that will be gotten from three robots.
Therefore, the utility function will be:
U = 3X + Y
Then, the marginal rate of substitution will be:
= MUX/MUY
= 3
Answer: 65
Explanation:
10 or <65
(430-11)/8 =52.375, 11-1 =10+52.375 =62.375-->65
Answer:
Options (a), (b) and (d) are correct.
Explanation:
Gross domestic product refers to the total value of production of goods and services during a period of time within the boundaries of the nation. GDP of a nation also represents the standard of living of that nation. If the GDP of a nation increases then it is assumed that the standard of living of that nation also increases.
But there are some flaws or loopholes in this assumption as non-marketing activities and the underground economy makes the GDP an imperfect measure of a particular economic activity.
Is doesn't includes the quality of goods received by the consumers as it doesn't contribute towards GDP of a nation.
It doesn't takes into account the non-market activities such as self service and house work. If a person is cleaning his home then this doesn't contribute towards GDP but if he hires someone to do the same job then then this will contribute towards the calculation of GDP as it is counted as a consumption expenditure.
Loss of enjoyment will also not counted while determining the GDP.
Government pay checks to soldiers will be included in the GDP because it increases the GDP of a nation.
Answer:
c. American put.
Explanation:
American options are defined as the type of contract that allows owner to exercise his option rights on any date of his choosing. This can even be on the date of expiration of the option.
European option on the other hand only allows option rights on the day of expiration of the option contract.
American put option allows the owner sell his option at any period within the contract life.
In the given scenario Jeff decided to sell his August options on on the 10th of August (before the expiry date). In exchange he recieved cash of $2,500.
Answer:
C(100) = (75 x 100) + (200 x 100) = $27,500
Explanation:
the initial cost function of producing bikes is:
C(x) = 75F + 100W
the initial cost to produce 1 bike = $75 + $100 = $175
if the cost of wheels increase to $100 each, then the cost function is:
C(x) = 75F + 200W
in this case, there is not much to calculate since every bicycle must have 1 frame and 2 wheels, that means that in order to produce 100 bicycles you will necessarily need 100 frames and 200 wheels. Labor is not considered in this cost function, so any cost minimization strategy is limited to using the minimum amount of parts:
C(100) = (75 x 100) + (200 x 100) = $27,500
