Answer:

2 Days

Explanation:

To clarify, we need to restate the utility function for clarity

U=V^{1/2}

1. Probability of an illness occurring in the family is 20%

2. If an illness occurs, the total number of days impacted is calculated as:

Total vacation days = 10 days x Probability of illness = 20%

= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days

This indicates that should an illness occur based on this probability, 2 out of the 10 vacation days will be affected

3. The number of remaining vacation days to enjoy would thus be 10-2 = 8 days

This indicates that even after accounting for 2 days of potential illness, the family can still enjoy their vacation period.

V= 2 days

Answer:

Details on Costs and Revenue associated with the new CD

e. None of the alternatives given

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses:

Direct materials and labor:    $2.50/CD

Royalties for songwriters:          $0.70/CD

Royalties for recording artists: $2.00/CD

Overall variable cost                     $5.20/CD

Price for CD Distributor: $10.00/CD

Contribution margin                       $4.80/CD

Fixed Costs:

Costs for advertising & promotion:           $380,000

Overhead for Sony Records Inc.: $300,000

Total fixed expenses                         $680,000

To find the break-even point = Total fixed costs/Contribution per unit

= $680,000/$4.8 = 142,000 CDs

Given that they have sold 100,000 CDs

The increase is 42,000 (142,000 - 100,000)

This growth represents a 42% change = (42,000/100,000 * 100)

The shift in sales from 100,000 to 142,000 CDs required to reach break-even is a 42% increase.  None of the available choices from a to d provide the correct answer.

Answer:

The opportunity cost for Janet to create a pizza amounts to 0.67 gallons of root beer, while for Megan it is 0.71 gallons of root beer.

Janet possesses an absolute advantage in pizza making, and Janet also has a comparative advantage in this activity.

When it comes to trading, Janet will exchange pizza for root beer. The price of pizza can be represented by the amount of root beer in gallons. To ensure both roommates benefit, the highest trade price for pizza is 0.71 gallons of root beer, while the minimum price allowing for mutual benefit is 0.67 gallons of root beer per pizza.

Explanation:

For Janet, the cost to produce one gallon of root beer is 3/2, which equals 1.5 pizzas. Janet's cost for making a pizza is calculated as 2/3, resulting in 0.67 gallons of root beer.

As for Megan, her cost to produce a gallon of root beer is 7/5, translating to 1.4 pizzas. Megan's cost of producing a pizza is 5/7, which equals 0.71 gallons of root beer.

Opportunity costs represent the additional expenses or benefits forfeited when electing one action or investment in place of another option. For instance, Janet can create either 1.5 pizzas or 1 gallon of root beer in a span of 3 hours, but she cannot accomplish both simultaneously; she must make a choice between the two options.
