Maggie Stewart loves desserts. But, due to weight and cholesterol concerns, she has decided that she must plan her desserts care

fully. There are two possible desserts she is considering: snack bars and icecream. After reading the nutrition labels on the snack bar and ice-cream packages, she learns that each serving of a snack bar weighs 37 grams and contains 120 calories and 5 grams of fat. Each serving of icecream weighs 65 grams and contains 160 calories and 10 grams of fat. Maggie will allow herself no more than 450 calories and 25 grams of fat in her daily desserts, but because she loves desserts so much, she requires at least 120 grams of dessert per day.

Answer:

The option that maximizes Maggie's taste index is 1 snack bar and 2 ice creams

Explanation:

<u>snack bar</u>                  <u>ice cream</u>

37 grams                   65 grams

120 calories              160 calories

5 grams of fat           10 grams of fat

Maggie wants to consume up to 450 calories and 25 grams of fat, but she needs at least 120 grams of dessert per day. Ice cream taste 95, snack bars 85.

  • maximize taste index = [85(37X) + 95(65Y)] / (37X + 65Y)
  • 5X + 10Y ≤ 25 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 1
  • 120X + 160Y ≤ 450 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 2
  • 37X + 65Y ≥ 120 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 3
  • X ≥ 0 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 4
  • Y ≥ 0 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 5

maximum possible combinations following constraint 1, 4 AND 5:

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (5 + 20 = 25)
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (10 + 10 = 20)
  • option 3: 3 snack bars - 1 ice cream (15 + 10 = 25)

possible combinations following constraint 2:

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (120 + 320 = 440)
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (240 + 160 = 400)

possible combination following constraint 3:

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (37 + 130 = 167)
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (74 + 65 = 139)

since we only have two possibilities, we can calculate which one generates the highest taste index

maximize taste index = [85(37X) + 95(65Y)] / (37X + 65Y)

  • option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams = [85(37) + 95(130)] / (37 + 130) = (3,145 + 12,350) / 167 = 92.78
  • option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream = [85(74) + 95(65)] / (74 + 65) = (6,290 + 6,175) / 139 = 89.68

Answer:

June 23 Received a $48,000, 90-day, 8% note dated June 23 from Radon Express Co. on account.

  • Dr Notes receivable 48,000
  •     Cr Accounts receivable 48,000

Sept. 21 The note is dishonored by Radon Express Co.

  • Dr Accounts receivable 48,960
  •     Cr Notes receivable 48,000
  •     Cr Interest revenue 960

When a customer defaults on a note, the company is allowed to convert the note back to accounts receivable and charge any accrued interests. Depending on the client, the company can give them more time (by switching back the note into accounts receivable) or the company can write off the note and try to sell it to a collection company.

Oct. 21 Received the amount due on the dishonored note plus interest for 30 days at 10% on the total amount charged to Radon Express Co. on September 21.

  • Dr Cash 49,368

Suppose that flu shots create a positive externality equal to $8 per shot. Further suppose that the government offers a $11-per-
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The answer is: the equilibrium quantity is larger than the socially optimal quantity.

Explanation:

In order for the equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity to be equal, the government subsidy should have been equal to the positive externality created by the flu shots ($8).  Since the government subsidy is larger, $11, then the equilibrium quantity will be higher (more flu shots supplied because of high subsidy).

Assume that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In this case, determine what is true with
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a. 1, 5 and 7

b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently

c. Differing sizes and capacities

d. Benefits due to economies of scale

e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.

Explanation:

The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.

Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.

Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.

The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.

If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
