Shipping the good apples out?
suppose apples come in two quality levels, low quality and high quality. at a store in the apple-growing region, the price of low-quality apples is $3 per pound, and the price of high-quality apples is $6 per pound.
timmy lives in the apple-growing region and buys 8 pounds of each type. his marginal utility of low-quality apples is 9 utils and his marginal utility of high-quality apples is 18 utils.
is timmy maximizing his utility?
a. yes. the marginal utility of high quality apples is greater than the marginal utility of low quality apples.
b. no. the marginal utility per dollar of low-quality apples is greater than the marginal utility per dollar of high-quality apples.
c. no. the marginal utility per dollar of high-quality apples is greater than the marginal utility per dollar of low-quality apples.
d. yes. the marginal utility per dollar of each good is equal.
suppose that timmy moves to an area outside the apple-growing region. as a result of increased shipping costs, the price of both low-and high-quality apples increases by $2 per pound in his new area. suppose further that timmy is still able to consume 8 pounds of each type of apple. in this new scenario, is timmy maximizing his utility?
a. no. the marginal utility per dollar of high-quality apples is greater than the marginal utility per dollar of low-quality apples.
b. no. the marginal utility per dollar of low-quality apples is greater than the marginal utility per dollar of high-quality apples.
c. yes. the marginal utility of high quality apples is greater than the marginal utility of low quality apples.
d. yes. the marginal utility per dollar of each good is equal.

Kenney co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned energy drinks. direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. equivalent units have been calculated to be 19,200 units for materials and 16,000 units for conversion costs. beginning inventory consisted of $11,200 in materials and $6,400 in conversion costs. april costs were $57,600 for materials and $64,000 for conversion costs. ending inventory still in process was 6,400 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). the total cost per unit using the weighted average method would be closest to:
