When marginal utility is zero, then total utility is maximum because any further consumption of that commodity will lead to negative marginal utility and therefore total utility will tend to decrease.

Given information:
Price of one unit = Rs. 40, Quantity demanded at this price = 9 units
Price of one unit = Rs. 38, Quantity demanded at this price = 10 units
To find: Marginal revenue resulting from an increase in output from 9 units to 10 units
Explanation:
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue earned by selling one additional unit of a product.
To find marginal revenue, we need to calculate the total revenue earned from selling 10 units and subtract it from the total revenue earned from selling 9 units.
Total revenue earned from selling 9 units = Price per unit * Quantity demanded
= Rs. 40 * 9
= Rs. 360
Total revenue earned from selling 10 units = Price per unit * Quantity demanded
= Rs. 38 * 10
= Rs. 380
Marginal revenue = Total revenue earned from selling 10 units - Total revenue earned from selling 9 units
= Rs. 380 - Rs. 360
= Rs. 20
Therefore, the marginal revenue resulting from an increase in output from 9 units to 10 units is Rs. 20.
Price of one unit = Rs. 40, Quantity demanded at this price = 9 units
Price of one unit = Rs. 38, Quantity demanded at this price = 10 units
To find: Marginal revenue resulting from an increase in output from 9 units to 10 units
Explanation:
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue earned by selling one additional unit of a product.
To find marginal revenue, we need to calculate the total revenue earned from selling 10 units and subtract it from the total revenue earned from selling 9 units.
Total revenue earned from selling 9 units = Price per unit * Quantity demanded
= Rs. 40 * 9
= Rs. 360
Total revenue earned from selling 10 units = Price per unit * Quantity demanded
= Rs. 38 * 10
= Rs. 380
Marginal revenue = Total revenue earned from selling 10 units - Total revenue earned from selling 9 units
= Rs. 380 - Rs. 360
= Rs. 20
Therefore, the marginal revenue resulting from an increase in output from 9 units to 10 units is Rs. 20.

Assets and Liabilities in Banking
Assets of the bank:
- Assets are what the bank owns, such as cash, loans, investments, and physical assets like buildings and equipment.
- These are resources that the bank can use to generate revenue and provide services to customers.
- Assets also include the money that customers have deposited in the bank, which the bank can use to lend out to other customers.
Liabilities of the bank:
- Liabilities are what the bank owes, including deposits from customers, loans from other banks, and bonds issued to investors.
- Deposits in the bank are considered liabilities because the bank is obligated to repay these funds to customers on demand.
- When a customer deposits money in the bank, the bank is essentially borrowing that money from the customer.
- The bank must keep a portion of these deposits on reserve and can use the rest to make loans and investments to earn interest.
Therefore, deposits in the banks are classified as liabilities of the bank because they represent funds that the bank owes to its customers. This distinction is important for understanding the balance sheet of a bank and how it manages its assets and liabilities to ensure financial stability and liquidity.

Disha Joshi answered |
Explanation:
The owner's total revenue is Rs. 1,00,000 and explicit cost is Rs. 60,000. However, if the owner could work for another company for Rs. 30,000 a year, then we need to consider the opportunity cost of the owner's time.
Opportunity cost refers to the cost of the next best alternative foregone. In this case, the opportunity cost of the owner's time is Rs. 30,000, which is the amount the owner could earn by working for another company.
Now, let us consider the two types of profit:
1. Accounting profit: This is the difference between total revenue and explicit costs. In this case, accounting profit is Rs. 40,000 (Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 60,000).
2. Economic profit: This is the difference between total revenue and all costs, including both explicit and implicit costs. In this case, the implicit cost is the opportunity cost of the owner's time, which is Rs. 30,000. Therefore, economic profit is Rs. 10,000 (Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 60,000 - Rs. 30,000).
Since the owner could earn Rs. 30,000 by working for another company, the economic profit is lower than the accounting profit. Therefore, option (d) is correct as both economic profit and accounting profit are applicable in this case.

Now, let us consider the two types of profit:
1. Accounting profit: This is the difference between total revenue and explicit costs. In this case, accounting profit is Rs. 40,000 (Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 60,000).
2. Economic profit: This is the difference between total revenue and all costs, including both explicit and implicit costs. In this case, the implicit cost is the opportunity cost of the owner's time, which is Rs. 30,000. Therefore, economic profit is Rs. 10,000 (Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 60,000 - Rs. 30,000).
Since the owner could earn Rs. 30,000 by working for another company, the economic profit is lower than the accounting profit. Therefore, option (d) is correct as both economic profit and accounting profit are applicable in this case.

Price Elasticity of Demand Calculation
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is a measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded to the change in price.
PED = (% Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ % Change in Price)
Given:
Initial Price (P1) = Rs. 180
New Price (P2) = Rs. 240
Initial Quantity Demanded (Q1) = 100 units
New Quantity Demanded (Q2) = 80 units
% Change in Quantity Demanded = ((Q2 - Q1) ÷ Q1) × 100
% Change in Quantity Demanded = ((80 - 100) ÷ 100) × 100
% Change in Quantity Demanded = -20%
% Change in Price = ((P2 - P1) ÷ P1) × 100
% Change in Price = ((240 - 180) ÷ 180) × 100
% Change in Price = 33.33%
PED = (% Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ % Change in Price)
PED = (-20% ÷ 33.33%)
PED = -0.6
Absolute Value of PED
The absolute value of PED is taken to represent the elasticity of demand.
|PED| = |-0.6|
|PED| = 0.6
Interpretation
The price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, which means that the good is elastic. A change in price leads to a proportionately larger change in quantity demanded. In this case, the absolute value of PED is 0.6. It means that a 1% increase in price leads to a 0.6% decrease in quantity demanded.

Cost of hiring one additional unit of labour = Rs 3
Revenue from hiring an additional unit of labour = MP of labour x price = Rs 3
Cost of renting one additional unit of capital = Rs 6
Revenue from renting an additional unit of capital = MP of capital x price = Rs 6
Hence, there is no benefit in increasing labour or capital.

Calculating Average Total Cost at 5 Units of Output
Given information:
Variable cost at 5 units of output = Rs. 1,000
Fixed cost = Rs. 400
To calculate the average total cost at 5 units of output, we need to consider both the fixed and variable costs. The formula for average total cost is:
Average total cost = (Fixed cost + Variable cost) / Number of units produced
Substituting the values given in the question, we get:
Average total cost = (400 + 1,000) / 5
Average total cost = 1,400 / 5
Average total cost = 280
Therefore, the average total cost at 5 units of output is Rs. 280.

Diminishing marginal utility states that when a consumer goes on consuming a standard unit of a commodity, the additional utility in every successive unit of consumption keeps on diminishing. It is based on the assumption that the consumer needs to consume a standard unit of the commodity.

**Price Elasticity of Demand**
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price. It is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
**Straight Line Demand Curve**
A straight line demand curve is a linear representation of the relationship between price and quantity demanded. It implies a constant slope, which means the percentage change in quantity demanded is proportional to the percentage change in price.
**Elasticity at the Y-Axis**
When the demand curve meets the y-axis, it indicates that the quantity demanded is zero at that price. In other words, the price is so high that no one is willing to purchase the product.
At this point, the demand curve is perfectly elastic because any increase in price will lead to a complete elimination of demand. The demand curve is vertical, indicating an infinite price elasticity of demand.
**Explanation**
The price elasticity of demand at the y-axis of a straight line demand curve is equal to infinity. This is because the percentage change in quantity demanded is infinitely large compared to any percentage change in price.
When the price increases even slightly from zero, the quantity demanded drops to zero. This indicates an infinitely elastic response to any change in price.
Therefore, option B - infinity is the correct answer.

Mythical Economy: Socialist Economy
Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production, distribution, and exchange are owned and controlled by the state or by the community as a whole. However, currently, there is no country in the world that completely practices socialism. While some countries may have socialist policies, they do not have an entirely socialist economy.
Reasons why Socialist Economy is a Myth:
1. The fall of the Soviet Union: The Soviet Union was seen as the epitome of a socialist economy. However, with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the socialist economic model lost its credibility. The failure of the Soviet economy showed that a centrally planned economy could not compete with a market-based economy.
2. The rise of mixed economies: Most countries in the world today practice a mixed economy, which is a combination of socialist and capitalist economic systems. This means that while the government controls some aspects of the economy, there is also room for private enterprise. This has led to the decline of the socialist economic model.
3. Globalization: The rise of globalization has made it difficult for countries to practice a socialist economic system. With the increase in international trade, it is challenging for countries to control their economies entirely.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the socialist economy is now a myth as no country in the world practices it entirely. While some countries may have socialist policies, they also have a market-based economy. The rise of mixed economies and the fall of the Soviet Union have contributed to the decline of the socialist economic model.
