Answer:

D. inefficient, and the equilibrium does not maximize the total benefit to society as a whole.

Explanation:

Externalities are benefits or costs incurred by an unrelated third party when a good or service is produced or consumed. Also, we know equilibrium to be the balance between buyer's benefits and producers cost, that is, when demand equals supply.

Now, the presence of externalities in a market equilibrium causes inefficiencies. This occurs when a product equilibrium price does not accurately reflect the true benefit or cost of that product. This exposes the equilibrium as flawed thus rendering it inefficient. This results in individual actors of the economy making decisions on aim of earning benefits which ends up making everything worse for everyone thus, not maximizing total benefits to everyone as a whole.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

En esta primera parte del libro estudiamos lo que para muchos economistas es la pregunta más

importante de la economía: ¿Por qué algunos países tienen mayores niveles de ingreso por

habitante que otros?

En el capítulo 2 definimos el crecimiento económico y presentamos distintas herramientas

útiles para medirlo y analizarlo. Además, presentamos una breve historia del crecimiento

económico, con especial énfasis en la evolución de la economía argentina en el contexto

mundial.

El capítulo 3 es una introducción a la teoría del crecimiento económico. Presentamos allí un

esquema analítico sencillo, en el cual la inversión y el desarrollo tecnológico aparecen como

los determinantes directos del crecimiento. Además, explicamos algunos de los factores que los

economistas han identificado como determinantes más profundos del crecimiento – aquellos

factores que definen el grado de inversión y de desarrollo tecnológico.

A publicist's compensation package includes the total cost of a $180-per-
natima [27]

Answer:

D. $44,580

Explanation:

Here we want to find the yearly value of the compensation package.

To order to do so, we have to add the various terms. We have:

t_1=\$42,000 salary per year

Then we have the total cost of a $180-per- month health insurance plan; since there are 12 months in a year, it is

t_2=12\cdot \$180 =\$2160 per year

Then we have the total cost of a $35-per-month life insurance, so the yearly cost is

t_3=12\cdot \$35 =\$420

Therefore, the total compensation package is

T=t_1+t_2+t_3=42000+2160+420=\$44,580

So, option D.
