Suppose that demand for a product is Q = 1200 − 4P and supply is Q = −240 + 2P. Furthermore, suppose that the marginal external

damage of this product is $12 per unit. How many more units of this product will the free market produce than is socially optimal? Calculate the deadweight loss associated with the externality.

Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.

DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96

Explanation:

Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P

In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied

1200 -4P = -240 +2P

P =240

Sub P

Q* = 240

Socially optimal quantity is

Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC

MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function

MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120

MEC=12

MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12

MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn

MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q

(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q

Q° = 224

Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.

DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96

Pera Inc. wishes to issue new bonds. These are 5-year bonds with semi-annual interest; $1,000 par value, and a yield to maturity
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

coupon rate= 13.5%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of periods= 5*2= 10 semesters

Par value= $1,000

YTM= 0.1/2 = 0.05

Price bond= $1,136

<u>To calculate the coupon rate, first, we need to determine the coupon per semester using the following formula:</u>

Bond Price​= coupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

1,136 = coupon*{[1 - (1.05^-10)] / 0.05} + [1,000/(1.05^10)]

1,136 = coupon*7.722 + 613.91

522.09 = coupon*7.722

$67.61=coupon

<u>Now, the coupon rate:</u>

Coupon= par value*(coupon rate/2)

67.61= 1,000*(coupon rate/2)

67.61= 500coupon rate

0.135=coupon rate

coupon rate= 13.5%

What methods may an economist use to test a hypothesis? A. Wait for real-world events to confirm or refute the hypothesis. B. Co
Scrat [10]

Answer:

A. Wait for real-world events to confirm or refute the hypothesis.

B. Conduct one or more experiments.

Explanation:

Hypothesis by economists can lead to results that can decide economic policy. As such, it is important that they are tried and tested.

One way of testing a hypothesis is the standard method of conducting one of more experiments. These experiments will simulate world settings so that the experiment can be as close as possible to the real world.

Another method is to experience the hypothesis. The economist could just wait for events in the real world to either confirm or deny the hypothesis because the economy is dynamic and has been known to react uniquely to events that it otherwise should not have reacted to. It is therefore likely that it might react in a certain way that will enable the economist test their hypothesis.

If the inflation rate averages 3 percent over the next 8 years, the expected cost of services for any year in that time frame is
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The expected cost 8 years from now = $13.87

Explanation:

If the inflation rate averages 3 percent yearly over the next 8 years, the expected cost of services for any year in that time frame is given by

C (x) = K (1.03)ˣ

where

K = present cost = $10.95

x = time in years = 8

So, the expected cost of a haircut 8 years from now would be

C(x=8) = 10.95 (1.03)⁸ = $13.87

Hope this Helps!!!!

Expansionary fiscal policy is generally designed to ____________ aggregate demand and thus ____________ real GDP and employment
vichka [17]

Answer:

increase

increase

Explanation:

Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.

Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary

Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.

Expansionary fiscal policies increases money supply which increases aggregate demand, as a result output  or real GDP increases

Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
