N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.

Explanation:

The excludability feature of goods does not allow individuals to have access to them without having paid for them. Thus, non-excludable goods are those that no one cannot prevent its use. <em>Private goods</em> (clothing, vehicles, houses) are excludable but they are also considered rival goods since when one person uses it another individual cannot consume the goods.

Suppose you are committed to owning a $215,000 ferrari. if you believe your mutual fund can achieve an annual return of 10.8 per
Pie

Answer: I must invest <u>$85424.14</u> today in order to buy a Ferrari nine years from now on the day I turn 30.

We have

Price of the Ferrari nine years from now (Future Value - FV)    $215000

Expected Rate of return on the mutual fund (r)    10.8%

Time until I turn 30  (n)   9 years

We can calculate the Present Value (PV) or the money to be invested today as

\mathbf{PV = \frac{FV}{(1+n)^{n}}}

PV = \frac{215000}{(1+0.108)^{9}}

\mathbf{PV = 85424.14022}

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The production possibility curve shows the maximum possible bundle of two goods that can be produced using all the available resources and state of technology.

Since the resources are scarce, when we produce more of one good, we need to sacrifice more and more of the other good.

If all the resources in the economy are fully employed then it is not possible to increase the production of one good without decreasing the production of the other.

The economy can thus produce either on the production possibility curve or below it but not above it.
