Sean is spending the day at the water park. He paid to enter the park and can use any water ride an unlimited number of times th

roughout the day. His favorite ride is the Twisty River.
a. Sean's marginal utility of riding the Twisty River the first time is 50 utils. Sean's marginal utility of riding the Twisty River the second time is likely
O greater than 50 utils.
O less than 50 utils.
O equal to 50 utils

b. If Sean's total utility begins to decrease after his fifth ride on the Twisty River, we can conclude
O Sean's marginal utility is starting to increase.
O Sean's marginal utility has become negative.
O Sean has maximized his marginal utility

c. Suppose instead of an entrance fee that Sean must pay each time he rides the Twisty River. Compared to the entrance fee, Sean will likely ride the Twisty River
O fewer times
O more times.
O the same number of times.

Answer: a. less than 50 utils.

b. Sean's marginal utility has become negative.

c. fewer times

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from consuming a good or service. Marginal Utility is the added satisfaction a consumer gets when he/she consumes an additional unit while the total utility is the sum of how satisfied he/she is after consuming a given number of units.

Marginal utility reduces with every extra unit taken. So Sean's marginal utility of riding the Twisty River the second time is likely less than that of the first time.  Consider when you are very thirsty and you take the first sip of water. This is the most satisfying sip and the last one you take is the least satisfying.

As long as marginal utility is positive, total utility will increase. Imagine Sean gets a marginal utility of 50, 40, 30 and 10. The total utility is then 50, 90, 120 and 130 after every ride. If after the fifth ride, his total utility is 115, it means his marginal utility has become negative (maybe he threw up).

Because marginal utility reduces with every additional unit taken, Sean is not likely to keep spending the same amount of money when he is not getting the same amount of satisfaction so he will likely ride the Twisty River  fewer times.

Mobility Partners makes wheelchairs and other assistive devices. For years it has made the rear wheel assembly for its wheelchai
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the allocate fixed cost, it would not be a good option.

It will generate a financial disadvantage of 22,950

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&produce&buy&Differential\\Purchase&&282,600&-282,600\\Variable Cost&270,000&&270,000\\Fixed Cost&68,400&32,850&-35,550\\Total Cost&338,400&315,450&-22,950\\\end{array}\right]

Fixed overhead; 38 x 1800 = 68,400

There is a portion of 35,550 fixed cost which is tracable to the real wheel assembly line thus, will be eliminated.

But 32,850 would not.

Considering this, it would not be a good option to stop the assembly line and purchase the component

Some people have proposed establishing legal standards and regulations to govern safety-critical computer-based systems.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: A) Give and explain counter-arguments against the arguments for each side.Note: the "counter-arguments" you are asked to give should oppose or answer the arguments on the other side as directly and convincingly as possible. They should not be simply unrelated arguments on the opposite side of the issue.

Explanation: When is talking about security is important to have different views, firstable you need to establish which are going to be your claims, premises or arguments, once you got it is important to search for information which can support your ideas, and once you have found it, counter-arguments are necessary to understand which are your weakest point, you need to know your counter-arguments and how people are likely to attack you, once you know the weak part of your speech you can defend it.

frozen [14]

Question Completion:

Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low

Answer:

Akram's Farm

Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:

1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit.  The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers.  But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.

2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the  Accounts Receivable.  Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts.  The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.

Explanation:

Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company.  The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.

Hilltop Paving has a levered equity cost of capital of 14.92 percent. The debt-to-value ratio is 0.4, the tax rate is 34 percent
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

c. 12.56%

Explanation:

Debt-to-value=D/(D+E) =0.4=> D=0.4D + 0.4E => 0.6D = 0.4E => D/E=4/6=2/3

According to M&M proposition II with taxes,

re=r0+(D/E)(r0-rd)(1-Tax rate) . Where re= levered cost of equity(or cost of equity when the firm is levered)=.1492, r0 = unlevered cost of equity,Tax rate=34%=.34, rd=pretax cost of debt=7.2%=0.072,D/E=2/3

re = r0+(2/3) * (r0 - 0.072)*(1-.34)

=> 0.1492=r0(1+(2/3)*(1-.34)) -(2/3)*(.072)*(1-.34)

=> 0.1492 = r0(1+0.44) -0.03168

=> 0.1492 = 1.44*r0 -0.03168

r0 = (.1492+0.03168)/1.44

r0 =0.1256

r0 =12.56%

Thus, r0=unlevered cost of equity=12.56%
