How might the market imbalances caused by an anti-price gouging law be dealt with?

1 answer:

5 0

When a company price gouges they are increasing the price of a good or service in relation to the demand or supply of the item. If there is an anti-price gouging law in place, that means that a company is not allowed to change the price of their product even when the market for it is high.

Malone Imports stock should return 12 percent in a boom, 10 percent in a normal economy, and 2 percent in a recession. The proba

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

6.11%

Explanation:

For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)

= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%) + (2% × 10%)

= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%

= 9.30%

Now the variance would equal to the

= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2

For boom:

= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.3645

For normal economy:

= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.4165

For recession:

= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2

= 5.329

So, the total variance would be

= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329

= 6.11%

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

$4 (D.)

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

the price of halvah (MUH)= $12

the price of pomegranates (MUP)= ????

Next, we are also told that the optimal consumption ratio of MUH to MUP = 3

This means that the Mauginal Utility of halvah (H) to the marginal utility of pomegranates (P) = 3

MUH/MUP = 3

12/MUP = 3

MUP = $\frac{12}{3} = 4$

MUP = $4

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$1,464,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depletion expense is shown below:

Purchase price plus additional cost = $5,640,000

Extracted tons during four year period = 940,000 tons

Current year tons extracted = 244,000 tons

So,

Depletion expense = Purchase price plus additional cost ÷ extracted tons during four year period × current year tons extracted

= $5,640,000 ÷ 940,000 tons × 244,000 tons

= $1,464,000
