Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The utility maximization point for a consumer is as follows:

\frac{MU_x}{P_x}=\frac{MU_y}{P_y}

It is given that,

price of Pepsi(x) =​ $1 per can

price of a hamburger(y) =​ $2

Marginal utility from Pepsi =​ 4

Marginal utility from hamburgers = 6

Hence,

\frac{4}{1}>\frac{6}{2}

4 > 3

Therefore, it can be seen that the consumer's utility is not maximized at this point.

Law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the consumer consumes more and more quantity of goods then as a result the utility obtained from the consumption goes on diminishing.

So, there is a need to increase the quantity of Pepsi consumed and reducing the quantity of hamburgers consumed.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

D. All the answers are correct to increase the benefit of the company. here briefly why.

If the marketing campaign affects variable costs (such as reducing the sales price by a certain amount), it will result in a smaller unit contribution, but a larger amount of sales, which will increase profits.

C. The reduction of these variable or any other variable cost (whenever possible) of product B will result in a greater unit contribution, then, increase profits
