1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is 450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit analysis.

If the fireworks' cost is to be split equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely  benefitted by this measure. Only he would

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be bought.

However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.

3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.

Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.

The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.

Answer: The final sentence is correct.

1) Town of Bayport:

We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=$450.

They would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is $450 - $360 = $90. So, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit.

To split the cost of fireworks equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay  

360/3=$120.  

For the individual person,

Jacques stands to gain $50 from the fireworks but would have to pay $120. He will vote against it.  

Also, Kyoko will gain $100 but would have to pay $120.  

As a result, he will vote against.  

Musashi on the other hand, would have a profit of $300 and only pay $120.  

So, he will vote for it

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought.  

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community of

20+140+160=$320.  

The total value of the firework are lower than the cost so it will not be voted for  

For each resident:

The cost to 3 resident is 360/3=$120 each

Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain $20.

Sean and are for the fireworks since he wil gain $140  

Yvette’s cost for the fireworks since she will gain $$160

For Sean and Yvette they  will vote for the fireworks because they ave a profit greater than $120 and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The answer is: be able to recover damages

Explanation:

In order for a Drake (the plaintiff) to be able to recover damages he must prove that he suffered an injury (economic injury in this case) by Eve's false claims.

Eve promised to multiply Drake's money and instead Drake lost money. The proof of injury would be the money lost by trading with Eve's false algorithm.

dsp73

Answer:

c. because P > MC, a basic condition for efficiency is violated.

Explanation:

An unregulated monopoly is a market in which monopoly holders have control over goods and services, giving them the ability to do whatever they like. Under unregulated monopoly, having a free market is impossible as price gouging is always evident.

In unregulated monopoly a basic condition for efficiency is violated because price is greater than marginal cost (P > MC).

Where P is the price and MC is the marginal cost of goods.

Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods
eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

                              = $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

                              = $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

                                                     = $35,000,000 / 8

                                                     = $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

                                                                                       

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

                                        = $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

                                        = 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

                                      = 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

                                      = $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

                                           = 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

                                           = $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

                                                                              = $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

                                                                    = $17,500,000
