py, and his income is 40. When he maximizes utility subject to his budget constraint, he purchases 5 units of y.
(a) What must be the price of y and the amount of x consumed? (1 marks).
(b) Prove that this allocation follows the equi-marginal principle (2 marks).
(c) What would be the new bundles of x, y if Px was $3 (2 marks).

A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of macaroni and cheese demanded but no change in the pri
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Macaroni and cheese is an inferior good.

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, we can assume that macaroni and cheese are considered as an inferior good for this consumer because there is an inverse relationship between the income level of this consumer and the quantity demanded for macaroni and cheese.

If there is 10% increase in the income of an individual then as a result quantity demanded of macaroni and cheese decreases by 15% and the price of this good remains constant. This shows that macaroni and cheese is an inferior good.

Jane Thorpe has been offered a seven-year bond issued by Barone, Inc., at a price of 943.22. The bond has a coupon rate of 9 per
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

  • F = 1000$
  • n = 7
  • Coupon rate = 9%, because  it pays the coupon semiannually, so

=> Coupon payment = 1000*9%/2 = 45

  • Current market rate, YMT=  10%

So the current value of bond is:

C(1- (1+r)^(-n)/r + F/((1+r)^{n}

<=>45(1 - (1+0,1)^(-7/0.1)) + 1000(1+0,1)^7

<=> C = $951

So she will buy the bonds at the offered price 943.22 because it is smaller than $951

Suppose a competitive firm has​ cost, C​ = ​(0.002q3​) ​+ (22q)​ + 750, marginal​ cost, MC​ = 0.006q2​ + 22, and​ revenue, R​ =
aniked [119]

Answer:

 Options B and C are correct.

  • Marginal profit is negative.
  • Profit is positive.

Explanation:

At q = 150

R = 80q = 80(150) = 12,000

C = 0.002(150)3 + 22(150) + 750 = 6750 + 3300 + 750 = 10,800

R > C so first is incorrect.

MR = 80

MC = 0.006(150 x 150) + 22 = 135 + 22 = 157

MC > MR so B is correct.

Profit = TR - TC = 80(150) - 0.002(150)3 - 22(150) - 750 = 12000 - 10800 = 1200

Profit is positive.

Marginal profit = MR - MC = 80 - 157 = - 77

MR is Negative

nlexa [21]

Answer:

S corporation

Explanation:

In the given case, The eagle basis at the closing of the year is 70,000 i.e. $40,000 + $30,000 (50% of $60,000)

In the case when the entity was a general partnership so 50% of $10,000 i.e. $5,000 would be added to the basis of Eagle

So here the type of entity that was formed is S corporation

The same is relevant
