Answer:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.  

Explanation:

Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.  

The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.

When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.

Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.

Consider a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive industry. Under which of the following situations would the firm choose to pr
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Option (a) and (b) are considered or correct.

Explanation:

Under the following two conditions, a firm in a perfectly competitive market produces at a point where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost:

(i) Minimum AVC < Price < minimum ATC : Yes

In this case, a firm may suffer a loss but it will be able to cover its minimum average variable cost. Hence, this firm continue operating in this market and if he shut down its operation then he may suffer a larger loss. Therefore, it chooses to continue operating under this market conditions.

(ii) Price > minimum ATC : Yes

In this case, the price received by the seller is greater than the minimum average total cost. Therefore, the firm is able to cover all of its cost of production and earning an economic profit. Hence, it obviously chooses to continue its operation.

The third option is not considered here because in this case, the firm won't be able to cover its variable cost.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000

Explanation:

Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.

In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500
