Answer:

a. Equilibrium quantity: 40 units; Equilibrium price: $40.

b. Quantity demanded: 10 units; Quantity supplied: 30 units; Surplus: 20 units.

c. Quantity demanded: 9 units; Quantity supplied: 31 units; Shortage: 22 units.

Explanation:

a. The equilibrium quantity occurs when the demanded and supplied quantity are the same, the price for which this situation happens is:

$60 - P = 1.0P - 20.\\2P=80\\P=\$40$

At an equilibrium price of $40, the equilibrium quantity is:

$Q = $40 -20 = 40\ units$

b. At a price of $50, the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the surplus are, respectively:

$Q_d = 60 - P =60-50 =10\ units\\Q_s = 1.0P - 20=50-20 = 30\ units\\Surp = Q_s - Q_d = 30 -10 = 20\ units$

c. At a price of $29, the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, and the magnitude of the shortage are, respectively:

$Q_d = 60 - P =60-29 =31\ units\\Q_s = 1.0P - 20=29-20 = 9\ units\\Short = Q_d - Q_s = 31 -9 = 22\ units$

Which california governor was instrumental in changing the executive bureaucracy from a spoils system to a merit system?

WINSTONCH [101]

Republican Governor Hiram Johnson was the California governor who was instrumental in changing the executive bureaucracy from a spoils system to a merit system.

A spoils system refers to a system of patronage in which the victorious candidate or party in an election gives public offices to their supporters as reward and incentive.

It was a common phenomenon in the United States, until a civil service reform movement led to passage of the Pendleton Act of 1883, which instituted merit-based appointments to offices at the federal level.

Hiram Johnson was a former Governor of California between 1917 to 1945. He was credited with many progressive reforms, among which was ensuring the executive bureaucracy operated on the basis of merit and not political patronage.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).

The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000
