Answer:

Sink-Cost Fallacy

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various behaviorists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the mental bias that describes Les's behavior is called the Sink-Cost Fallacy. This fallacy/bias refers to when an individual relentlessly continues's a behavior solely because of the resources that they have invested, either being time, money, or effort. Which in this case since, Les invested money into the drink so he does not want to waste it even though it might make him sick.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Which of the following events would cause a rightward shift of the AD curvea rightward shift of the AD curve​, other things bein
Karolina [17]

Answer: C. There has been a decline in the foreign exchange value of the nation’s currency.

Explanation:

The Demand curve of a country can be written as an equation which is

C+I+G+(X-M)

C is consumption, I is investment, G is government expenditure, X is exports, M is imports and X-M is net exports.

When ever consumption, investment, government expenditure or net exports increase the demand curve shifts to the right and whenever they decrease the demand curve shifts to the left.

In this case when the value of the currency foreign exchange declines, the country reduce its imports because they are now more expensive as your currency's value is declining and the exports will increase because they will now be cheaper to foreign buyers as their currency is now gotten stronger. This decrease in imports and increase in exports will  increase net exports and an increase in net exports will shift the demand curve to the right

Art's Market barrows $25,000 for three years at 8 percent. Payments are quarterly. Which of these inputs correctly computes the
Ratling [72]

Answer: A. N = 12; 1 = 8/4; PV = 25,000; FV = 0; CPT PMT

Explanation:

A is the correct option because,

N = 12

The period is 3 years but the payments are quaterly so the actual period is;

= 3 years * 4

= 12 quarters/ periods.

I = 8/4

The interest rate is 8% but this is stated as a Yearly value which needs to be adjusted to a quarterly value by dividing it by 4.

PV = 25,000

The Present Value of the loan is $25,000 because this is the amount that Art's Market was given in the present.

When all of this is inputted into the calculator, the answer will be; PMT =  $2,363.99.

The aggregate expenditure model can be written in terms of four spending categories. Which equation shows the relationship betwe
Kay [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is AE = C + I + G + NX.

Explanation:

Aggregate spending (in Keynes's opinion) is the key to economic activity, that is, what families, businesses and government plan to buy determines what companies will end up producing. In the first stage of the analysis, a simplified model excludes the government, assumes that there is no foreign sector, and that the level of real income or income (and not prices) is the main determinant of aggregate expenditure

consumption vs. saving. Do you think these preferences are more influenced by advertisements for products that are consumable to
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Consumption is influenced by advertisements for products that are consumable today and savings from ads that advocate in investing tomorrow.

Explanation:

Both are important to run the circular flow of economy. If a person invests savings on a product, so there should be someone to consume it, this will help in achieving equilibrium point between aggregate demand and aggregate supply.

Increase in one shall result in decrease in other and in both cases either there will be more products to be consumed rather than the actual consumption resulting in surplus if there is excess saving or vice versa .
