The most acceptable method of evaluating the financial statements is to compare the company's current financial: (A) statements to the projections that were created based on Tobin's Q.(B) statements to those of larger companies in unrelated industries.(C) statements to the financial statements of similar companies operating in other countries.(D) ratios to the average ratios of all companies located within the same geographic area.(E) ratios to the company's historical ratios.

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
