Answer:

The answer is: A) It keeps the price of domestic goods relatively low.

Explanation:

The main reason why subsidies exist, is to try to improve social efficiency. Usually public services are subsidized, like public transport (e.g. buses, subway). When people use the subway they aren't only saving money by not using their cars, but they are also polluting less, streets aren't as crammed, etc.

Now imagine who could build and operate a subway system other than the government. It is impossible, no company could afford to build a fully functional subway system and much less operate it at a low price. Therefore here the government with huge infrastructure projects and subsidizes.

When governments decide to subsidize products, for example milk, they do it to lower its price so that the quantity demanded increases. Drinking milk is not subsidized for its great taste, but because it's very good for kids to do it (it's a very healthy habit).

Serggg [28]

Answer:

b. $14,939

Explanation:

Property placed in service in 1st year:

Amount $

2nd quarter 15,000

3rd quarter 6,000

4th quarter 40,000

Total furnishing at beginning of 2nd Year $61,000

Half Year depreciation rate in 2nd Year as per Macrs table under "7 years life" assets, the applicable depreciation in the 2nd year is 24.49%

Thus, amount of depreciation expense is allowable in the current (second) year of ownership = $61,000 * 24.49% = $14938.90

Show that the set of vectors {(−4,1,3),(5,1,6),(6,0,2)} does not span R 3 , but that it does span the subspace of R 3 consisting

Alika [10]

Answer:

The vectors does not span R3 and only span a subspace of R3 which satisfies x+13y-3z=0

Explanation:

The vectors are given as

$v_1=\left[\begin{array}{c}-4&1&3\end{array}\right] \\v_2=\left[\begin{array}{c}-5&1&6\end{array}\right] \\v_3=\left[\begin{array}{c}6&0&2\end{array}\right]$

Now if the vectors would span the $R^3$ , the rank of the consolidated matrix will be 3 if it is not 3 this indicates that the vectors does not span the $R^3$ .

So the matrix is given as

$M=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}v_1&v_2&v_3\end{array}\right] \\M=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&6\\1&1&0\\3&6&2\end{array}\right]\\$

In order to calculate the rank, the matrix is reduced to the Row Echelon form as

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&6\\ 0&\frac{9}{4}&\frac{3}{2}\\ 3&6&2\end{array}\right] R_2 \rightarrow R_2+\frac{R_1}{4}$

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&6\\ 0&\frac{9}{4}&\frac{3}{2}\\ 0&\frac{39}{4}&\frac{13}{2}\end{array}\right] R_3 \rightarrow R_3+\frac{3R_1}{4}\\$

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&6\\ 0&\frac{39}{4}&\frac{13}{2\\ 0&\frac{9}{4}&\frac{3}{2}}\end{array}\right] R_2\:\leftrightarrow \:R_3$

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&6\\ 0&\frac{39}{4}&\frac{13}{2}\\ 0&0&0\end{array}\right] R_3 \rightarrow R_3-\frac{3R_2}{13}\\$

As the Rank is given as number of non-zero rows in the Row echelon form which are 2 so the rank is 2.

Thus this indicates that the vectors does not span $R^3$

Now for any vector the corresponding equation is formulated by using the combined matrix which is given as for any arbitrary vector and the coordinate as

$v=\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&z\end{array}\right]$

$c=\left[\begin{array}{c}c_1&c_2&c_3\end{array}\right]$

$Mc=v$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&6\\1&1&0\\3&6&2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}c_1&c_2&c_3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x&y&z\end{array}\right]$

$M=\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}v_1&v_2&v_3& | &v\end{array}\right] \\M=\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}-4&5&6&|&x\\1&1&0&|&y\\3&6&2&|&z\end{array}\right]\\$

Now converting the combined matrix as

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}-4&5&6&|&x\\ 0&\frac{9}{4}&\frac{3}{2}&|&\frac{4y+x}{4}\\ 3&6&2&|&z\end{array}\right] R_2 \rightarrow R_2+\frac{R_1}{4}\\$

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}-4&5&6&|&x\\ 0&\frac{9}{4}&\frac{3}{2}&|&\frac{4y+x}{4}\\ 0&\frac{39}{4}&\frac{13}{2}&|&\frac{4z+3x}{4}\end{array}\right] R_3 \rightarrow R_3+\frac{3R_1}{4}\\$

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}-4&5&6&|&x\\ 0&\frac{39}{4}&\frac{13}{2}&|&\frac{4z+3x}{4}\\ 0&\frac{9}{4}&\frac{3}{2}&|&\frac{4y+x}{4}\end{array}\right] R_3 \leftrightarrow R_2\\$

$\approx \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}-4&5&6&|&x\\ 0&\frac{39}{4}&\frac{13}{2}&|&\frac{4z+3x}{4}\\ 0&0&0&|&\frac{13y+x-3z}{13}\end{array}\right] R_3 \rightarrow R_3-\frac{3R_2}{13}\\$
