Because colgate owns patent number 5,547,091, only colgate sells toothpaste with a flip-top cap, while others use the more tradi

tional screw top. a patent probably wasn't a necessary incentive for colgate to develop the flip-top cap, so why did it patent the cap? to increase consumer demand for toothpaste to establish market power to decrease fixed costs to decrease the marginal cost of production

They patented the flip-top cap most likely to ensure that only their toothpaste products can be dispensed in a quick and easy manner that would not be of added inconvenience to the user. The contents of the toothpaste tube can also be easily properly secured unlike screw caps which could be misplaced.

According to Lucas and​ Sargent, workers and firms have rational​ expectations, and therefore if the Fed pursues an expansionary
NeX [460]

Answer:

D. agents will immediately adjust their expectations of inflation up.

Explanation:

Expansionary monetary​ policies are geared towards stimulating economic growth. The Fed can impose lower interest rates or purchase bonds and securities in open market operations as expansionary tools. Lowering interest rates encourages banks and other lending institutions to lend money to firms and households.  

Purchasing bonds and securities adds money to the banking system. The increased money will be loaned out to businesses and individuals. The availability of low-cost credit motivates firms to borrow and expands their business capacities. When households borrow with ease, it leads to an increase in consumption expenditure.  These actions result in too much money in circulation, which is inflation.

I toss a penny and observe whether it lands heads up or tails up. Suppose the penny is fair, i.e., the probability of
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A) if I flip the coin many, many times, the proportion of heads will be approximately 1/2, and this proportion will tend to

get closer and closer to 1/2 as the number of tosses increases.

Explanation:

Probability is described as the likelihood of an event happening. It is expressed in numerical fractions between zero and one. Zero means near certainty that the event will not occur while one is a guarantee that the event is happening.

A probability of 1/2 signifies a 50 percent chance. In a coin toss, 1/2 probability means the coins have 50 chance of landing on either tail or head. A coin has only two sides. Each ill toss presents a head or tail. The more tosses one makes, the proposition of heads to tail get closer 1/2. Very many tosses will give show 1/2 to either tails or head.
