Answer:

d. Net long-term capital losses in excess of $3,000.

Explanation:

A net long-term capital losses in excess of $3,000 is a deductible loss for income tax purposes.

For instance, in a tax year, if an individual has up to $3,000 of net long-term capital losses, this would be considered a form of income rather than a capital gain.

Furthermore, if an individual accrues a net long-term capital losses in excess of $3,000, this loss is deductible and are carried over indefinitely to subsequent tax payments in the future.

We can use the Cournot model to derive an equilibrium industry structure. For this purpose, we will define an equilibrium as tha

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a. long run equilibrium numbers of firms in the industry are 4

b. Output of each firm will be 16

Explanation:

Under cournot’s equilibrium, the cost function of an individual firm is written as:

C(q) = F + cq

In our case, C(q) is given as

C(q) = 256 + 20q

Therefore, F = 256 and c = 20

At the same time, the demand function is written as:

P(Q) = a - bQ

In our case, P is given as

P = 100 – Q

Therefore, a = 100, b =1

a. Long run equilibrium number of firms in the industry

N = ((a-c)/(bF)^0.5) – 1

N = ((100-20)/(1*256)^0.5) – 1

N = (80/16) – 1 = 4

Therefore, long run equilibrium numbers of firms in the industry are 4

b. Output of each firm will be q = (a-c)/b*(1+N) = (100-20)/1*(1+4) = 80/5 = 16

Therefore, total output of industry is 16*4 = 64

Price = 100-64 = 36

Profit = Revenue – Cost

Revenue of each firm = Price * Output = 36*16 = 576

Cost = 256+20*16 = 576

Therefore, profit = 0

Calculation for what should this professor be willing to pay in rent per month

First step is to calculate the Transportation cost per week

Transportation cost = ($25*4 hrs)* 3 per week

Transportation cost =$100*3 per week

Transportation cost= 300 a week

Now let calculate the rent per month

Rent per month= $1500 + ($300*4)

Rent per month=$1,500+$1,200

Rent per month= $2,700

Therefore what should this professor be willing to pay in rent per month to live near campus if her hourly wage rate is $25 will be $2,700

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The options which is NOT correct is C.

Purchasing power does not increase with inrease in the rate of inflation. There is an inverse relationship between inflation and purchasing power of money.

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the overall increase in prices of goods and services and the erosion of the power of the currency to purchase those goods and services. In otherwords, when inflation happens, one requires more dollar bills to purchase same unit of goods or services.

Deflation is the opposite of inflation. It refers to the decrease in the prices of goods and services and is usually accompained by an increase in the purchasing power of the currency.

Nominal interest rate simply put is the interest payable on a loan without considering processing fees, compounding interest payable and the erosion of the value of such money.

Cheers!

Bruce, a buyer, contracted with Steve, a seller, to buy ten dozen bicycle tires for $960. Payment was due thirty days after deli

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

b. Hold the tires with reasonable care for disposition as the seller instructs.

Explanation:

When goods are non-conforming to contract, the buyer has the right to reject the goods. The seller also has the right to cure the defect or ensure conformity.

1. Buyer's right to reject: In this case the buyer has the right to reject the goods on inspection, and notify the seller within a reasonable amount of time.

2. Seller's right to cure: The seller has the right to cure defect on the goods, and this can be done where there is still time to rectify the defects noticed by the buyer. In this case, the buyer is not due to pay for the goods for the next 30 days.

The seller still has the opportunity to meet the contract standard and close the deal.

So option b is correct. The buyer holds the goods pending decision of seller to either cure defects on goods or retrieve the goods.
