Refer to exhibit 4-5. if a free market were allowed in the transplanted kidney market, then the equilibrium price would be p2. t
he number of kidneys transplanted would increase by _________ compared to the number transplanted at a price ceiling of p= $0. (q3 - q2) q2 (q2 - q1) (q3 - q1)
1 answer:
Answer:
(q2 - q1)
Explanation:
I have uploaded the picture the question refers to below.
We can see that under a price ceiling of $0, the quantity of kidneys supplied is Q1, and if the price ceiling is removed, and the market is allowed to reach equilibrium, the new quantity of kidneys supplied is Q2, so the increase in the supply of transplanted kidneys can be found by the formula (q2 - q1)

Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value
Explanation:
<h2>Machine A</h2>= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs
Present value of Income;
Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.
= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10
= $2,315.97
Present Value of Costs;
Purchased for $48,000.
Maintenance of $1,000 per year for years.
Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity, 10 years, 8%
= 1,000 * 6.7101
= $6,710.10
Machine A Present Value
= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000
= -$52,394
<h2>Machine B</h2>No salvage value.
Present Value of costs
Purchased for $40,000.
Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3) + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)
= -$9,567.79
Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79
= -$49,568
