Answer:
Macy is liable. The Federal Trade Commission states that both the credit rating agency and Macy's are responsible for correcting the erroneous credit report. It is very hard to sue and win a credit rating agency because they will place the blame on the company that made the initial mistake (Macy's), but lately courts have accepted cases against the companies that cause all this mess.
Courts have lately ruled in favor people alleging that a bad credit report damaged them since a good credit rating is considered an intangible asset. The company that cause the mistakes are liable for any possible damages resulting from a poor credit rating.
Ken, the agent, violated the law of agency
In this particular instance, when Ken told the the buyer that the seller would take a lower price than what was on the listing in order to close the sale faster and then told the buyer exactly which price they should offer, Ken, who is the agent, has now violated the law of agency
Answer:
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
Explanation:
1- By definition CPI is the weighted average of a consumer's basket volume for any purchase service or good. When money supply increases, GDP increases, and the spending of a customer increases. Hence resulted in increased CPI.
2- Interest rate decreases when money supply increases
3- Inflation is by definition a steady increase in the money supply if a country. So one can be replaced by another. Inflation does not come from money supply increase, it is in fact money supply increase
Answer:
The Producer surplus = 19.6.
consumer surplus = 12.25.
Aggregate supply = 31.85.
Explanation:
Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;
15 - 2P = 5P - 6.
15 +6 = 5P + 2P.
21 = 7P.
P = $3.
Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.
Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.
Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;
Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.
=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.
=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.
Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.
Answer: C. The ATC curve eventually slopes upward because average variable cost eventually increases
Explanation:
The Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns causes the Average Total Cost curve to eventually slope upwards because the Average Variable Cost will increase.
Why?
At first, with production increasing, a firm will be very efficient at producing a certain good thereby driving the cost down per unit. As time goes on however, the law of Diminishing Marginal Returns comes into play as more is invested into the business. The cost per unit will therefore rise which will lead to the ATC curve going upwards.
I have included a simple graph to illustrate.
