Answer:

1. Inside the dorm room, the movies are <em>Non-Rival</em> which means that one person can watch the movie and it will not diminish the ability of others to watch as well.

Also as they are all in the same dorm, the showing of the movie is <em>Non-Excludable</em> as well because no one can stop the other from watching.

Public good is both Non-Rival and Non-Excludable so the showing of a movie IS a public good.

2.

Musashi   Sean    Bob   Eric   Total Willingness to pay

10   9   8   3   30

8   7   6   2   23

6   5   4   1   16

4   3   2   0   9

2   1   0   0   3

The optimal number of movies that can be rented is dependent on their total willingness to pay. If their Total willingness to pay for the movie is above $8 which is the cost of a movie, then they will get it. From the table, the fifth movie is below the price of $8 so they <u>should rent 4 movie</u>s.

3. If they rent 4 movies and there are 4 of them then the cost per person is;

= (8 *4)/4 people

= 24/4

= $8

This means that each roommate will pay <u>$8</u>.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

84%

Explanation:

APR is the annual rate of interest that is paid on an investment, without taking into account the compounding of interest within that year. APR is calculated by multiplying the periodic interest rate by the number of periods in a year in which the periodic rate is applied.

Divide the finance charge by the loan amount. In this case, $3,400 divided by $24,500 equals 0.138

Multiply the result by 365 to get 50.4

Divide the result by the term of the loan. In this case, 50.4 divided by 60 is 0.84

Multiply the result by 100 to turn the answer into a percentage 84%

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<em>A proprietorship has three important advantages: </em>

(1) It is easily and inexpensively formed,

(2) it is subject to few government regulations, and

(3) it is subject to lower income taxes than are corporations.

<em>However, a proprietorship also has three important limitations: </em>

(1) A proprietor has personal liability for the business' debts.

(2) The life of the business is limited to the life of the individual who created it.

(3) A proprietorship has difficulty obtaining large sums of capital so proprietorships are used primarily for small businesses.

As all company structures, proprietorships have both advantages and disadvantages. Although the advantages mainly relate to feasibility, the disadvantages are often overlooked. The main disadvantage is the total liability of the owner, which is detrimental if the business faces tough times, which lead to liquidation.
