- Unlike newspaper dispensing devices, soft drink dispensing machines do not permit people to take more than one can or bottle with each payment. The reason is that the: opportunity cost of additional cans or bottles of soft drink increase very rapidly. marginal utility of extra soft drink cans or bottles declines slowly, particularly because they are storable and can be consumed later. marginal utility of extra soft drink cans or bottles declines quite rapidly. opportunity cost of additional cans or bottles of soft drink increase very slowly.Suppose that Ciana is deciding whether or not to buy a pair of sneakers that she has been researching online, and also the best place to make her purchase. Three different stores in the area sell the sneakers she likes, but some stores are more convenient for Ciana to reach than others. One option is her local shoe store located only 15 minutes away from where she works, where they charge a marked-up price of $124 for the sneakers: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Sneakers (Minutes) (Dollars per sneakers) Local Shoe Store 15 124 Different Neighborhood in Town 30 103 Rural Outlet 60 70 Ciana earns an hourly wage of $30 at her job. In order to purchase her sneakers she will have to take time off work, so each hour away from her job costs her $30 in lost income. Assume that Ciana’s travel time is the same each way (to and from the store) and that it will take her 30 minutes once she reaches a store to complete her shopping. Assume throughout the question…The average price of gasoline in your neighborhood is $2.99 per gallon. Your neighbor, Diana tells you that you can "save a lot" by frequenting a gas station 20 miles outside your neighborhood where the price of gasoline is $2.43 per gallon However, she cautions you that there are usually long lines at that station. Is her suggestion beneficial to you? Yes, since gasoline is a necessity for car owners, the total cost savings would be relatively substantial. No, if one factors in the non-monetary opportunity costs (driving time and waiting in line), it could prove more costly to go to the lower-priced gasoline station. Yes, the lower price of gasoline at the rival
- Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve this goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Wilton University or Mount Perry College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its students to work while enrolled in its MBA program. Ben currently works at the money management firm of Dewey and Louis. His annual salary at the firm is $65,000 per year, and his salary is expected to increase at 3 percent per year until retirement. He is currently 28 years old and expects to work for 40 more years. His current job includes a fully paid health insurance plan, and his current average tax rate is 26 percent. Ben has a savings account with enough money to cover the…In your country, the demand curve of a litre of petrol is given by: P = 107 - 5QD. Due to political unrest coupled with the slow recovery from pandemic, the global price of petrol surged which led to an increase of price per litre of petrol in your country from TK55 to TK80. After the price rise, the employees of the company you work for demanded a pay-raise. Your employer, hence, increased your income from 31033 taka to 46187 taka. The new demand curve at the new income level is P = 132 - 5QD. A). Calculate the income elasticity of demand (YED). B) Now assume that the increase in income (and the subsequent shift of the demand curve) had occured before the rise in price, then what would the YED be?Please answer precisely with explanation without any confusions.
- A parent has two children named A and B and she loves both of them equally. She has a total of Php 1,000 to give them. How much will she give to each child given the different utility functions: a) U(a,b)= √a+√b b) U(a,b)=(−1/a) - (-1/b) c) U(a,b)=log(a)+log(b) d) U(a,b)=max(a,b) e) U(a,b)=min(a,b)Suppose an individual is looking to build a house in a plain that is prone to flooding. Because of the risk of damage due to flooding, the buyer's top dollar for building the house is only $290,000. Suppose the cost of building a house in this area is $330,000. A wealth-creating transaction is not possible since the seller's bottom line (or the cost of building the house) is (LESS THAN, EQUAL TO, GREATER THAN) the buyer's top dollar. The difference between the cost of building the house minus the buyer's top dollar is $_______. Suppose the government subsidizes flood insurance for homes in the flood plain. Because of this, the buyer has access to very cheap insurance, worth an expected $70,000. Without such a subsidy, the high likelihood of flood results in extremely high rates for flood insurance. With this subsidy, the individual (IS, IS NOT) incentivized to build a house in the flood plain..[item no.24] (Multiple Choice) Is lying generally illegal in the Philippines?

- Using the exponential utility function with α = 0.001, determine which premium is higher: the one for X ∼ N(200,√5000) or the one for y ∼ N(210,√3000) Determine for which values of α the former premium is higher.1. Suppose you buy an accessory that will be used in your production activity and is worth a thousand of pesos (P1,000.00). In economic perspective, would you contend that is the only cost involved? Why or why not??One type of systematic error arises because people tend to think of benefits in percentage terms rather than in absolute dollar amounts. As an example, Samir is willing to drive 20 minutes out of his way to save $4 on a grocery item that costs $10 at a local market. But he is unwilling to drive 20 minutes out of his way to save $10 on a laptop that costs $400 at a local store. In percentage terms, how big is the savings on the grocery item? On the laptop? In absolute terms, how big is the savings on the grocery item? On the laptop? If Samir is willing to sacrifice 20 minutes of his time to save $4 in one case, shouldn’t he also be willing to sacrifice 20 minutes of his time to save $10?
