3. UTILITY THEORY: MODELING PREFERENCES AND TASTES

To that end, we introduce the concept of an indifference curve , which represents all the combinations of two goods such that the consumer is entirely indifferent among them. <span>This is how we construct such a curve: Consider bundles that contain only two goods so that we can use a two-dimensional graph to represent them—as in Exhibit 1, where a particular bundle containing W a ounces of wine along with B a slices of bread is represented as a single point, a.

Question
At the beginning of the year, Chock Company had $50,000 in assets and $20,000 in liabilities. At the end of the year, the company had $80,000 in assets and $40,000 in liabilities. If, during the year, no investments were made in the business and dividends of $2,000 were declared and paid during the year, net income for the year must have been ______.

A. $8,000

B. $10,000

C. $12,000
Answer
Correct Answer: C

Net income for the year was $12,000. Net income or loss (revenues less expenses) and dividends affect stockholders' equity. Stockholders' equity would have been $30,000 at the beginning of the year ($50,000 - $20,000) and $40,000 at the end of the year ($80,000 - $40,000). The change in stockholders' equity over the year was a $10,000 increase. If $2,000 was declared and paid in dividends, net income must have been $12,000 ($30,000 + $12,000 - $2,000 = $40,000).

The acetylcholine receptor protein is a pen- tamer of five peptide subunits conceptually forming a five-sided ring, with the central portion serving as the transduction ion channel. Only two of the five subunits are involved in acetylcho- line binding. The remaining three peptide subunits participate in the signal transduction process that involves a protein conforma- tional shift, allowing inward movement of sodium ions through the opened ion channel.

signal transduction refers to processes by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. Most often, these involve ordered sequences or cascades of biochemi- cal reactions inside the cell. They are commonly referred to as second messenger pathways.

A Few Words About Mice And Focus While the shell is all about the keyboard, you can also use a mouse with your ter- minal emulator.
There is a mechanism built into the X Window System (the un- derlying engine that makes the GUI go) that supports a quick copy and paste tech- nique. If you highlight some text by holding down the left mouse button and drag- ging the mouse over it (or double clicking on a word), it is copied into a buffer maintained by X.
Pressing the middle mouse button will cause the text to be pasted at the cursor location. Try it.

Note: Don't be tempted to use Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v to perform copy and paste inside a terminal window. They don't work. These control codes have different meanings to the shell and were assigned many years before Microsoft Windows.

Neostigmine is not an antagonist of rocuronium because it does not compete with rocuronium for the muscle end-plate receptor site. Neostigmine inhibits acetylcholinesterase, which allows acetylcholine to compete effectively with rocuronium and other nondepolarizing muscle relaxants for the receptor, leading to a recovery of muscle tone. Therefore, its effect is at least a partial form of indirect antagonism.

Sugammadex is the first and so far only drug in a new class of muscle relaxant reversal drugs. Known as a selective relaxant bind- ing agent (SRBA), sugammadex offers a unique mechanism in that it encapsulates the muscle-relaxant molecule, rendering it inac- tive. The complex formed is eliminated. This is a form of chemical antagonism, because no direct receptor action is evident.

New receptor protein must be synthe- sized if agonist receptor complexing is to occur. As with ago- nist drugs, not all receptors are bound by antagonists. Antagonists cause a rightward shift in the drug dose-response curve. The extent of rightward shift reflects the number of available receptors occu- pied by the antagonist drug (Figure 5-9). Comparison of the ED 50 in Figure 5-9 shows a reduced affinity of the agonist for its receptor when the antagonist is present.

Physiologic antagonism, another form of antagonism, involves two agonist drugs that bind to different receptors.
At the physiological antagonism, drugs bind to specific unrelated receptor proteins, initiate a protein conformational shift, and elicit individual tissue responses.

In accor- dance with the law of mass action, when free drug binds to a recep- tor, a conformational shift occurs in the receptor protein. This shift causes a central space or channel to open, allowing specific ions to enter or leave the cell or a G protein to be activated, resulting in a biochemical cascade yielding pharmacologic effects. The resultant tissue response continues until the drug dissociates from the recep- tor.
