Answer:

B. buyers bear most of the incidence of the tax.

Explanation:

If demand is inelastic, quantity demanded is insensitive to changes in price.

If supply is elastic, a small change in price has a great effect on quantity supplied. Quantity supplied is sensitive to changes in price.

If a tax is imposed on gasoline, the incidence (who pays for the tax) can be beqred by the consumers because they have an inelastic demand. If the price of gasoline rises , the quantity demanded doesn't change.

If the tax incidence was borne by the suppliers, the quantity supplied would drop.

I hope my answer helps you.

decides to use the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy. Her cash needs are $30,000; her income needs are

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$130,000

Explanation:

For determining the additional life insurance required first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-

Step 1

Total needs = Cash needs + Income needs + Special needs

= $30,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

= $270,000

Step 2

Total assets held = Bank accounts + Retirement plans + Investment accounts

= $20,000 + $30,000 + $40,000

= $90,000

Step 3

Total amount of life = $270,000 - $90,000

= $180,000

and finally

Additional life insurance required =

The Total amount of life - Life insurance provided by the employer

= $180,000 - $50,000

= $130,000

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X 5 demand for the magazine, with pmf Su

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(X) 1/15 2/15 3/15 4/15 3/15 2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93$

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33$

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.
