Answer: 6.6%

Explanation:

The Pure Expectations Theory believes that the future long term rate is a reflection of future short term rates.

In terms of a 5 Treasury Security then, the rate of return to be expected is the risk free rate adjusted for inflation.

The Treasury Security has no risk but for inflation risk hence this is all that should be catered for.

Rate of Return on 5 year Treasury Security = Real Risk Free Rate + Inflation Rate

= 2.5% + 4.1%

= 6.6%

The economic inefficiency of a monopolist can be measured by the A. area above marginal cost but beneath demand from the monopol
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

A monopoly firm is neither productively nor allocative efficient. The reason behind this is that it does not utilize the resources efficiently and produces below the socially optimal level of output.  

Unlike perfect competition, which produces at the point where price equals marginal cost, a monopolist produces at the point where the price is greater than marginal cost.  

This inefficiency is visible through the decrease in consumer surplus and deadweight loss. The difference between socially optimal level of output and monopoly output also represents inefficiency. The value of the goods and services that could have been made if monopolist chose to produce at a socially optimal level also shows inefficiency.
