Gonzo consumes only two things--coke and hot dogs. We can define the addition to "happiness" of consuming an additional coke as the marginal utility of coke and that for hot dogs as the marginal utility of hot dogs. The prices of coke and hot dogs are fixed and Gonzo has a limited budget. In order to maximize "happiness" subject to his limited budget, Gonzo should purchase coke and hot dogs so thata. the marginal utility of coke is the same as the marginal utility of hot dogs. b. he spends the same amount on coke as on hot dogs. c. the addition to happiness of the last coke is the same as the addition to happiness of the last hot dog. d . the addition to happiness per dollar spent on coke is the same as the additionto happiness per dollar spent on hot dogs.

Arival company manufactures fuel tanks for cars using a different production technique. the total weekly cost (in dollars) of producing x tanks is given by c(x) = 10000 +90x - 0.04x2 find the marginal cost at a production level of 500 fuel tanks per week to approximate the cost of the 501st unit (round to the nearest 2 decimal places, if needed)

The chromosome manufacturing company produces two products, x and y. the company president, jean mutation, is concerned about the fierce competition in the market for product x. she notes that competitors are selling x for a price well below chromosome's price of $13.50. at the same time, she notes that competitors are pricing product y almost twice as high as chromosome's price of $12.50.ms. mutation has obtained the following data for a recent time period: product x product y number of units 11,000 3,000 direct materials cost per unit $3.23 $3.09 direct labor cost per unit $2.22 $2.10 direct labor hours 10,000 3,500 machine hours 2,100 1,800 inspection hours 80 100 purchase orders 10 30ms. mutation has learned that overhead costs are assigned to products on the basis of direct labor hours. the overhead costs for this time period consisted of the following items: overhead cost item amount inspection costs $16,200 purchasing costs 8,000 machine costs 49,000 total $73,200using direct labor hours to allocate overhead costs determine the gross margin per unit for product x. choose the best answer from the list below.a. $1.93b. $3.12c. $7.38d. $2.43e. $1.73using activity-based costing for overhead allocation, determine the gross margin per unit for product y. choose best answer from list below.a. $10.07b.
