Because bureaucracies are legally shielded from market forces, including certain incentives, they may not be driven enough to help the market system achieve efficiency. 

Moreover, just as everyone else, bureaucrats also try to maximize and protect their own interests and welfare as best as they can. Because of this, they may opt to serve their own interests. These interests may or may not be in line with those needed to achieve economic efficiency and thus, may lead to more public spending than desired. 

Lastly, when formulating provisional decisions, bureaucrats usually fail to use cost-benefit analysis, resulting in decisions which may not be for the best in terms of economic efficiency.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer: -13.35%

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the annual rate of return on this painting will be calculated thus:

Sales price of painting = $1,080,000

Cost price of painting = $1,660,000

The sales Price formula is given as

= Cost price × (1 +r)³

1080000 = 1660000 × (1+r)³

1,080,000/1,660,000 = (1+r)³

0.65 = (1 + r)³

Annual rate of return r will now be:

= 0.6506^⅓ - 1

= -13.35%

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: Option (d) is correct

If consumption increases, the AD curve will shift rightward, which will increase the price level.

Explanation:

If the consumption increases in an economy as a result there is a rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve. This shift in the aggregate demand curve lead to increase in the price level as well as in the output level.

Because there is more demand in the economy which gives an advantage for the producer to charge higher price.

Raggs, Ltd. a clothing​ firm, determines that in order to sell x​ suits, the price per suit must be p=120 - 0.5 x. It also deter
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) 80

D) 2300

E) 80

Explanation:

Given the following :

Price of suit 'x' :

p = 120 - 0.5x

Cost of producing 'x' suits :

C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2

A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'

Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'

R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x

R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) Total profit, 'p(x)'

Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)

P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2

P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) To maximize profit

Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'

First derivative of p(x)

d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120

P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120

-1.5x + 120 = 0

-1.5x = - 120

x = 120 / 1.5

x = 80

D) maximum profit

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500

= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500

= -4800 + 9600 - 2500

= 2300

E) price per suit in other to maximize profit

P = 120 - 0.5x

P = 120 - 0.5(80)

P = 120 - 40

P = $80
