Explanation:

The question isn't complete. Here is the full question:

A study finds that the noise from airplanes is harmful; hence, the government imposes a $20 tax on the sale of every airplane. This amount accurately accounts for the external cost of the noise pollution. Before the corrective tax, airplane tickets regularly sold for $190. After the tax is in place, the market price for airplane tickets rises to $200.

The quantity of airplane tickets sold will

The socially optimal price of airplane tickets is

The private market price is

A firm selling airplane tickets receives after it pays the tax

The noise from the airplanes constitute negative externality.

Tax levied on negative externality is known as pigouvian tax.

As a result of the tax, the price of tickets increases and this would reduce the quantity of tickets demanded for according to the law of demand. According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

The social optimal price is the price of the ticket after the tax accounting for the externality has been added to price. The social optimal price is $200.

The private market price is the price before the taxes: $190.

The amount received by firms = $200 - $20 = $180

Rockefeller never act unethically by the standards of his day or today´s.

There is nocontradiction between his personal and business ethics.

Explanation:

The fur trade was a vast commercial enterprise, which was at its peak for nearly 250 years, from the early 17th to the mid-19th centuries, sustained to satisfy the demand in an intensely competitive trade which opened exploration and settlement, financing missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between Europeans and Indigenous people.

Changing cultural in the fashion industry, has had a drastic evolution over the years, when a woman in the first half of the twentieth century , might be very proud to wear a fox stole with its head and feet intact but today, it would consider that an ethical faux pas.

Ethics has become a major consideration for young people in their selection of work and career, who demand enshrined values in their business model, a difference, contributing with their core values, conscience, and personality not just profit.By the standards of his day Rockefeller, a faithful, balanced and devout Christian, was not being unethical as he always followed his-time regulations and laws, although nowadays they are more severe. He compensated all the things he did, if wrong, with his contributions to help people cope with any damage done. There is no contradiction behe did as he had been taught when he was younger that he should separate business from pleasure.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

so savings = $2200

bonds = $4400

and mutual fund = $3400

Explanation:

given data

received bonus = $10,000

savings account paying = 4.5% per year

bonds paying = 5%

mutual fund that returned = 4%

income from these investments = $455

to find out

How much did the worker place in the government bonds

solution

we consider amount invested for 4.5 % is = x

and hen his investment in bonds is = 2x for 5%

and rest is 10000- x - 2x

that is = (10000- 3x ) for 4%

interest equation will be here

0.045 x + 0.05 (2x) + 0.04 (10000-3x) = 455

solve we get

x = 2200

so savings = $2200

bonds = $4400

and mutual fund = $3400
