Chrissy spends her income on fishing lures (L) and guitar picks (G). Lures are priced at $2, while a package of guitar picks cost $1. Assume that Chrissy has $30 to spend and her utility function can be represeted as U(L, G) = L^{0.5} G^{0.5} . For this utility function, MUL = 0.5L^{-0.5} G^{0.5} and MUG = 0.5L^{0.5 } G^{-0.5} .

What is the optimal number of lures and guitar picks for Chrissy to purchase?

How much utility does this combination bring her?

Compute the cost of not taking the following cash discounts. (use a 360-day year. do not round intermediate calculations. input your final answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
