Available Options Are:

A. decrease his spending on both coffee and soda.

B. reallocate his spending away from soda and towards coffee.

C. not change his consumption of either coffee or soda.

D. reallocate his spending away from coffee and towards soda.

Answer:

D. Reallocate his spending away from coffee and towards soda.

Explanation:

The utility per dollar of Coffee = 15 utils / $3  =  5 utils per dollar

Similarly

The utility per dollar of Soda = 11 utils / $2 = 5.5 utils per dollar

As the utility per dollar spending is more in the case of soda, hence ALex must spend more on soda to draw maximum utility out of its spending. Option D is correct statement.

Suppose the demand function for avocados is Q = 104 - 40p + 20tp + 0.01Y, where p is the price of avocados, pt is the price of t
LiRa [457]

Answer: equilibrium price = 4

Quantity of avocado = 110units

Explanation:

Q = 104 - 40p + 20tp + 0.01Y........eq1

Q = 58 + 15p - 20pf...........eq2

pt = $0.80,

Y = $4,000,

pf = $0.40

From eqn1 substituting of into it

Q = 104 - 40p + 20($0.80) + 0.01($4000)

= 104 - 40p + 16 + 40

= 160/40p

p = 4 equilibrium price

From eqn2. Substituting p and pf into it.

Q = 58 + 15p - 20pf

Q = 58 + 15(4) - 20($0.40).

Q = 58 + 60 - 8

Q = 110 quantity of avocado

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: a. $5.50

b. $6.1

c. $3,500,000

Explanation:

a. From the question, we are informed that Hawar International is a shipping firm with a current share price of $5.50 and 10 million shares outstanding and that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares.

We are informed that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares. This is a transaction and therefore, the value if the share won't be changed. So, the value for the share will still be $5.50.

b. If the only imperfection is corporate tax rate of 30%, the share price after this announcement will be:

= [30% × (20million/10million)] + $5.50

= [0.3 × 2] + $5.50

= $0.6 + $5.50

= $6.1

Therefore, the share price be after this announcement will be $6.1.

c. If the share price rises to $5.75 after this announcement, the PV of financial distress costs Hawar will incur as the result of this new debt will be:

= ($6.1 - $5.75) × 10,000,000

= $0.35 × 10,000,000

= $3,500,000
