Since Margo purchase her optimal consumption bundle, the
marginal utility per dollar consumed on dance lessons must be equivalent to the
marginal utility per dollar paid on dance shoes. The marginal utility per
dollar spent on dance lessons is 100 utils per lesson, where $50 per lesson is equivalent
to 2 utils per dollar. The marginal utility per dollar expended on dance shoes
therefore has to equal 2 utils per dollar. Since the marginal utility of a pair
of dance shoes cost 300 utils per pair, the value of a pair of shoes should be
$150 per pair, so that 300 utils per pair/$150 per pair is equal to: 2 utils
per dollar.
I would say a
<span>.increase in supply</span>
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Fixed cost is
= $500,000 + $1,000,000
= $1,500,000
And, the marginal cost is
= $0.25 + $0.10
= $0.35 per paer
Now
as we know that
AFC = FC ÷ Q
Now for At 1,000,000 papers,
AFC is
= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000
= $1.50/mo
At 800,000
, it would be
AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000
= $1.875/mo
MC = $0.35 per paper and the same is not changed
Now for break even, the average total cost is
ATC = AFC + AVC
ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q
VC = MC × Q
ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC
ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35
At Q = 1,000,000,
ATC = 1.50 + 0.35
ATC = $1.85
At Q = 800,000
, it would be
ATC = 1.875 + 0.35
= $2.225
As it can be seen that
The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.
The MC remains constant or same at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same
And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375
Answer: The Demand should be in elastic
Explanation:
Peacock hotel rooms are a normal good and they have a negative price elasticity of demand, meaning a decrease in price of hotel rooms per night will increase quantity of hotels rooms demanded for Peacock.
Peacock is considering decreasing Prices to $ 175 per unit, for this decrease in Prices to lead to a decrease in total revenue, The demand for Peacock hotel rooms should be inelastic. When the demand for Peacock hotel rooms is inelastic a decrease in price to $ 175 will lead to a small change in the quantity of hotel rooms demanded for Peacock which will then lead to a decrease in Total Revenue.
Answer:
The dam should be constructed. The investment discounted payback is 25 years.
Explanation:
We have to make a cash flow for this case with the given data. See the document attached.
We consider an Initial cost of 30 millions in period 0, then we have every periods benefit of 2.800.000 and 100000 direct cost.
With those, is obtained net cash flow for each year (period), if we consider the given rate of interest, can be calculated the discounted cash flow
To know when this project covers all the investment, we have to consider the cumulative discounted cash flow. We have to see in the cash flow chart when the cumulative discounted cash flow break the 0 (became higher than 0).
In this case , that will be at period 25. So we have to wait 25 years to recover the initial cost. Considering that the dam usually has a lifetime higher than that time, the project at this scenario, should be done.
