Answer: The marginal utility is 2
Explanation:
Utility is the satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular commodity. Total utility is the total satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular commodity. Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction that a consumer gets from consuming a product. Utility is measured in utils.
Marginal utility increases with an extra consumption of a good at first but later it begins to reduce as the extra good consumed doesn't really have give the consumer enough satisfaction anymore.
Regarding the question, eating 5 hotdogs gives 40 utils and eating 6 hotdogs gives 42 utils.
The marginal utility is the extra utils which will be 42-40 which gives 2 utils.
Answer:
- $25.50
- 90,000 units
- 140,000 units
Explanation:
1. Current contribution margin ratio
= (Selling price - Variable cost)/ Selling price
= (25 - 19.8) / 25
= 0.208
New Direct labor = 5.0 * ( 1 + 8%)
= $5.40
New variable cost = 19.8 + 0.4 = $20.20
To maintain 0.208
0.208 = (Selling price - 20.20) / Selling price
0.208 * Price = Price - 20.20
0.208Price - Price = -20.20
-0.792Price = -20.20
Price = -20.20/-0.792
Price = $25.50
2. Breakeven = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin
Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= 25 - 19.8
= $5.20
= 468,000/5.2
= 90,000 units
3. To earn $260,000;
= (Fixed Cost + 260,000) / Contribution margin
= (468,000 + 260,000) /5.2
= 140,000 units
Answer:
Explanation:
The adjusting entry is shown below:
Office supplies expense A/c Dr $257
To Office supplies $257
(Being adjusted entry recorded in respect of office supplies)
Since in the question it is given that, the debit balance of office supply is $363 and the physical count show $107 unused supplies which mean it is of no use. So, the actual amount of office supplies would be calculated by applying an equation which is shown below:
= Office supplies debit balance - unused office supplies
= $363 - $107
= $257
Moreover, the office supply is shown in the balance sheet under the assets account. And, to find out the correct value of the office supply we debit the expense account and credit the asset account.
Answer:
the options are missing, so I looked for them:
a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.
b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

Explanation:
The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.
