Sam spends all of his income on textbooks and hot dogs. The price of a textbook is $40 and the price of a hot dog is $0.5. If Sam is maximizing his utility and the marginal utility he derives from the last textbook he purchases is 400, then the marginal utility he derives from his last hot dog purchased must be:___________. A) 5 B) 10 C) 20 D) 400

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 5

Explanation:

Calculation for the marginal utility

Based on the information given the utility that sam will have to derive when he consume two goods will be maximum when:

Marginal Utility (textbooks)/Price of textbook = Marginal Utility (hotdogs)/Price of hotdogs

Hence,

400/40=Marginal Utility (hotdogs)0.5

Therefore for:

Marginal Utility (hotdog) = 10*0.5

Marginal Utility (hotdog)= 5

Therefore the marginal utility he derives from his last hot dog purchased must be: 5

Lever Age pays an 8% rate of interest on $10.90 million of outstanding debt with face value $10.9 million. The firm’s EBIT was $1.9 million.

Answers

Answer:

a. 2.18 times

b. 2.51 times

Explanation:

Missing question "a. What is its times interest earned? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Times interest earned b. If depreciation is $290,000, what is its cash coverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Cash coverage ratio"

a. Interest = Face Value * Rate of interest

Interest = $10.9 million * 8%

Interest = $872,000

Times interest earned = EBIT / Interest

= $1.9 million / $872,000

= 2.18 times

b. Cash coverage = (EBIT + Non Cash expenses) / Interest expenses

= ($1.9 million + $290,000) / $872,000

= $2.19 million / $872,000

= 2.51 times

A bond has a $1,000 face value and a $900 market value. The bond pays interest semi-annually, has a yield-to-maturity of 8 percent, and matures in 5 years. What is the current yield?

Answers

Answer:

the current yield is 6.15%

Explanation:

Here for computing the current yield first we have to determine the monthly payment by applying the PMT formula

Given that

NPER = 5 × 2 = 10

RATE = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%

PV = $900

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the pmt is $27.67

Now the current yield is

= $27.67 × 2 ÷ $900

= 6.15%

Hence, the current yield is 6.15%

Production data for Joe's Pizza Parlor are as follows. For simplicity assume that labor is the only input. Each pizza sells for $5. Number of Workers Pizzas Baked Per Day 0 0 1 10 2 18 3 24 4 30 5 32 How many workers will Joe hire if he must pay each one $35 a day?

Answers

Answer:

Joe's Pizza Parlor

The highest number of workers that Joe will hire if he must pay each one $35 a day is

4 workers.

If he wants to maximize his profits without satisfying customers' demand, Joe can choose to work with 2 or 3 workers.  However, he can renegotiate the worker's wages downwards.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of pizza = $5

Wage per worker = $35/day

Number of Workers         0     1      2      3        4       5

Pizzas Baked Per Day      0    12   18     24     30     32

Total revenue                   0   60  90   120    150    160

Marginal revenue             0   60  30    30      30      10

Marginal cost of labor      0    35  70   105    140    175

Profit                                 0    25  20     15      10     -15

 

The number of workers that Joe will hire if he is supposed to pay every worker $35 per day would be:

2 workers

Find the number of workers

Given that,

No. of workers    Pizzas baked every day

 0                                   0

  1                                   12

  2                                  18

  3                                  24

  4                                  30

  5                                  32

Price of pizza [tex]= 5[/tex]

Wage of 1 worker each day = $ 35

If we calculate,

Total revenue for different no. of workers   =  0   60  90   120    150    160

Marginal revenue for varied no. of workers =  0   60  30    30      30      10

Marginal cost of labor  =                                  0    35  70   105    140    175

Profit [tex]=[/tex]                                                             0    25  20     15      10     -15

In order to get pay each labor $35 a day, Joe must hire 2 workers.              

Thus, 2 workers are the correct answer.

Treasury bonds paying an 10.00% coupon rate with semiannual payments currently sell at par value. What coupon rate would they have to pay in order to sell at par if they paid their coupons annually?

Answers

Answer:

10.25%

Explanation:

The requirement which is Coupon rate can be calculated using EAR formula.

EAR = (1 + APR/n)^n - 1

EAR = (1 + 10.00%/2)^2 - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.1/2)^2 - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.05)^2 - 1

EAR = (1.05)^2 - 1

EAR = 1.1025 - 1

EAR = 0.1025

EAR = 10.25%

10.25% is the coupon rate for annually paying bond.

Answer:

a. -1.5

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand is shown below:

As we know that

Price elasticity of demand = E ÷ 1 + E × MC

E ÷ 1 + E × (3)

3 + 3E = E

3E - E = -3

2E = -3

E= -3/2

E = -1.5

Hence, the price elasticity of demand is -1.5

A) 42 days
B) 45 days
C) 48 days
D) 49 days
E) 51 days

Answers

Answer:

The demand curve suggests that an auto manufacturer will sell 20,000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class vehicles when they are priced at $50,800, but when the price is reduced to $45,000, that quantity will increase to 27,000 units. What is the resulting elasticity?
a. -4.38
b. 6.73
c. -3.07
d. 1.24

Answers

Answer:

c. -3.07

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

% change in quantity demanded = (27,000 - 20,000) / 20,000 = 0.35 = 35%% change in price = (45,000 - $50,800) / $50,800 = -0.114 = 11.4%

price elasticity of demand = 35% / -11.4% = -3.07 or |3.07| in absolute terms

since the price elasticity is higher than |1|, then it is price elastic, which means that a 1% change in price will change the quantity demand in a higher proportion.

The elasticity of demand will be -3.07.

The percentage change in quantity will be:

= (27000 - 20000) / 20000 × 100

= 7000/20000 × 100

= 35%

The percentage change in price will be:

= (45000 - 50800) / 50800 × 100

= -5800/50800 × 100

= -11 417%

Therefore, the elasticity will be:

= 35% / -11.417%

= -3.07.

In conclusion, the correct option is -3.07.

Mutual fund A earned 10 percent while B earned 8 percent. The standard deviations of the returns were 7 percent and 4 percent, respectively. Assumr risk free rate of 2%.
a) Estimate the Sharpe ratio of each mutual fund
b) According to the Sharpe ratio, which fund performed better?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.9 & 1

b) Mutual Fund B

Explanation:

For starters, I will define what Sharpe ratio is.....

Sharpe ratio is tagged, the measure of risk-adjusted return of a financial portfolio. It is worthy if note that on the average, a portfolio with a higher Sharpe ratio is considered superior relative to its peers.

You the question, the Sharpe ratios would be calculated as follows:

(Return of portfolio - risk free rate) / standard deviation.

So, for Mutual Fund A:

A = (12% - 3%) / 10%

A = 9% / 10%

A = 0.9

For Mutual Fund B:

B = (10% - 3%) / 7%

B = 7% / 7 %

B = 1

Although the Mutual Fund in A is calculated to have a higher return, the Mutual Fund B is laced with a higher risk-adjusted return.
