Question 1.

Suppose, in deciding what price to set for its latest animated movie, Disney decided to charge either $14.95 or $12.95 for a video or DVD. They estimated the demand for these videos or DVDs to be quite elastic. What price did it choose and why?

Question 2.

Suppose the marginal utility per last dollar spent on hamburgers is greater than the marginal utility per last dollar spent on chocolate malts. Assuming a consumer purchases only hamburgers and malts, what should the consumer do if she wishes to increase her total utility from the consumption of these two goods? Why?

Can someone please help me with this questions.

1. This week you have gone to 2 parties. Assume the total utility you gained from these parties is 100 utils. Then you go to a third party, and your total utility rises to 110 utils. What is the marginal utility of the third party attended per week? Given the law of diminishing marginal utility, what will happen to total utility and marginal utility when you go to a fourth party this week?

2. Suppose your marginal utility for meals at the campus cafeteria this week has fallen to zero. Explain what has happened to your total utility curve derived from consuming these meals. Now explain what will happen to total utility if you eat more meals at the cafeteria this week.?

Please someone help, thanks a lot.

Please explain how womens breast size is measured. I have seen some ladies who wear a C cup and look a lot bustier then someone who wears a D cup. Why is that doesn't the cup size mean their breast size is bigger? I know it's not the bra. they just look bigger...so maybe you can tell me what the difference is.

I'm working on Macroeconomics and I'm trying to understand fiscal and monetary policy. The question is:
a.) When the economy is under potential GDP, what fiscal policies will bring it back to potential?
b.) What monetary policies will bring it back to potential?
c.) What will the effect of these policies be on price level?
d.) What will the effect be on unemployment?

Please note that this isn't a graded assignment. I'm just trying to understand and my book isn't very clear.

There was a british version to this question and it got me thinking what makes Americans well American. I don't mean the negatives but the positives. Do people like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe make you more american. Other countries didn't have them. So what makes U.S. us?

I do. I believe that the concept of gender is totally derived from the human idealization of sex. Gender = conceptual. Sex= biological absolute. What's your opinion? Nature or nurture? Both?

Okay so I am writng an argumentative paper
I want to title it:" Any thing you think can and will be used against you"

And then My thesis would be( Or at least I think it is a thesis) Is psychological oriented marketing a way to manipulate people's decisionsl or a way to understand their thinking when they buy.

And then I would start another paragraph my intro

and say: Marketers are really conartist who will do anything to sell their products; most marketers rely on manipulating the public to increase their sales. .....examples.....then I would bring up the alternative view and argue against it

This is a serious inquiry, so I don't want to be pegged with 'emo' namecalling or given into the vacuum of attention stunts everyone wants to dismiss.

I don't know what triggered it, because it'd always been a really bad idea to me--'emo' and 'attention schemeing'. But cutting has become one of the top solutions that come to mind when I have a problem. That's the way it started, and yes, it was scary. But I did it. I still don't know why. Now, it's just an every day thought.

"After class I better hurry home, get a snack, cut a little, and jog before meeting up with my family."

I don't know about every individual case out there, but if you are or were a cutter, or you just want to chime in, I'd like to know if anyone out there can relate. Was it ever scary to you? Do you even know why you do it--and if you're still doing it, is it just something you've become comfortable with?

Maybe I'll be told to get help, but that'll be up to me. This is my present curiosity. Anyone hearing me?

They are both vemonous spiders that can live together in the same web for the mating season.Then one of them will kill then eat each other. Unless the male (brown recluse) runs away quickly before the female (black widow) gets him for dinner.
