Answer:

Yes, this is an increase in demand

Explanation:

Demand increased from 10 watches per week to 35 watches per week.

This is an increase in demand and it was induced by the drop in price from $75 to $50.

Consumers tend to buy more at lower price and tend to reduce their demand at higher price. This is the law demand.

Higher price reduces consumers' purchasing power.

On July 1, Year 1, Howe Corp. issued 300 of its 10%, $1,000 bonds at 99 plus accrued interest. The bonds are dated April 1, year
Fed [463]

Answer:

Howe receives $304,500 from the issue

Explanation:

The bond issue price is made up of the 99% price plus the interest accrued from the  last date of interest payment to the date of bond purchase.

The amount to be received from the bond issuance is calculated thus:

99% price 300*$1000*99%                             $297,000

Accrued interest 3/12*10%*$1000*300               $7,500

Total amount received from the issue           $304,500

Since the next payment of interest would be paid to the buyer,it is expected that the buyer pays the seller for interest accrued on the date of purchase that would eventually be paid to the buyer

A worker can choose high (H) or low (L) effort. If the worker chooses high effort, she incurs a personal cost of 1. In this case
Nitella [24]

Answer:

B. No, because for any bonus offered, the worker will claim to have exerted high effort.

Explanation:

This question required some basic reasoning about how human beings function. We all like to receive things from others, and if they are free (or without cost or effort) the more we like them. And we all believe that good things should happen to us and that we are entitled to receive good things. That is the basic reason why jealousy and envy exist.

Now, back to our case. If the company simply hands out bonuses to everyone regardless of their personal effort, every single worker will be convinced that they really deserve the bonus. Even if the worker didn't even try to do his best or didn't do anything right at all, he/she will be convinced that they deserve the bonus. Each and every single worker will claim that the reason they are receiving the bonus is due to their work. Everyone will say that they worked hard and their work was good.

Imagine this happened at school. One day, the teacher decides to give As to half the class in alphabetical order (or any other random way). The half that got the As will believe that they deserved the As while the other half will be very unhappy. If everyone got As, then everyone will be convinced that thy got As because they deserved them.

A closed economy has income of $1,500 billion, government spending of $260 billion, taxes of $180 billion, and investment spendi
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(i) $940 billion

(ii) $380 billion

(iii) -$80 billion

(iv) $300 billion

Explanation:

Income, Y = $1,500 billion

Government spending, G = $260 billion

Taxes, T = $180 billion,

Investment spending, I = $300 billion

As Y = C + G + I

Consumption spending, C = $1,500 - $260 - $300

                                            = $940 billion

Private savings = Y - T - C

                          = $1,500 - $180 - $940

                          = $380 billion

Public saving = T - G

                      = $180 - $260

                      = -$80 billion

National saving = private + public

                          = $380 - $80

                          = $300 billion
