10 pieces of sushi

Explanation:

She she only eat the sushi to the point that her maginal benefit equals her marginal cost. If the marginal cost becomes higher than the marginal benefit, then she should stop buying and eating the sushi.

The first piece of sushi gives her a marginal benefit of $5, while the cost of each sushi is $2.75. Because of the law of marginal diminishing returns, each additonal piece of sushi gives her $0.25 less in marginal benefit. We can tally the information in this way:

# MB MC

1st Piece of Sushi $5,00 $2.75

2nd Piece of Sushi $4.75 $2.75

3rd Piece of Sushi $4.50 $2.75

4th Piece of Sushi $4.25 $2.75

5th Piece of Sushi $4.00 $2.75

6th Piece of Sushi $3.75 $2.75

7th Piece of Sushi $3.50 $2.75

8th Piece of Sushi $3.25 $2.75

9th Piece of Sushi $3.00 $2.75

10th Piece of Sushi $2.75 $2.75

11th Piece of Sushi $2.50 $2.75

Thus, Joan should only eat 10 pieces of sushi, because by the eleventh piece of sushi, the marignal benefit is lower than the marginal cost.

the answer is true. i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year. if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.

Amachine purchased three years ago for $720,000 has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $400,000: its operating expenses are $60,000 per year. a replacement machine would cost $480,000, have a useful life of nine years, and would require $26,000 per year in operating expenses. it has an expected salvage value of $130,000 after nine years. the current disposal value of the old machine is $170,000: if it is kept 9 more years, its residual value would be $20,000. calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine. should the old machine be replaced?
