Answer:

A. -many substitute

Explanation:

Deadweight loss is inefficiency that occurs as a result of taxation. It's the change in production or consumption as a result of tax.

If tax is imposed on a good with many substitutes, the deadweight loss would be greater because consumers can easily shift consumption to another good that is cheaper.

If a good has inelastic supply or demand, the deadweight loss is less because consumers and producers do not change quantity demanded and supplied if prices increase as a result of tax.

I hope my answer helps you.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

(a) The deposit should be $168.06 quarterly.

(a) The deposit should be $145.32 quarterly.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

An investor needs $11,000 in 19 years.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

The explanations to the answers are now given as follows:

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

Since the amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 7% / 4 = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0175)^44 - 1] / 0.0175}

11,000 = M * 65.4531536741798

M = 11,000 / 65.4531536741798

M = $168.06

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

We make use of equation (1) in part (a) as follows:

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 9.4% / 4 = 0.094 / 4 = 0.0235

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0235)^44 - 1] / 0.0235}

11,000 = M * 75.6957891651599

M = 11,000 / 75.6957891651599

M = $145.32
