Answer:

c. equality.

Explanation:

Rent control is a government directive that limits the amount a landlord can charge as rent or for rent renewal. When the landlord is renewing rent there is a maximum percentage for rent increase.

Rent control is intended to create a level of equality for low-income earners and elderly people on fixed income.

This has been a successful initiative and has helped in balancing the standard of living of the target population.

ipn [44]

Answer:

E) illusory correlation

Explanation:

An illusory correlation happens when someone mistakenly believes that the occurrence of one event will result in the occurrence of other unrelated events.

Psychologically every single one of us tends to create a relationship between unrelated events, but some simply go one step ahead and deeply believe in a strict cause-effect relationship.

For example, a lot of people tend to create a relationship between very beautiful women and not being smart. While being pretty has nothing to do with being intelligent. I've met beautiful women that are extremely smart and very capable at work, while other not beautiful women are simply the opposite.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The owner's equity at the end of the year results to $64,400

Explanation:

We are able to calculate this through simple addition and subtraction

First we must view how much was payed through tax

t = 4,200 - 3,200 = 1,000

58,900 - 1,000 = 57,900

Than, due to the repurchase of $6,500 of stock, we must include this within our final equation

57,900 + 6,500 = 64,400

Hope this helps

enot [183]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.

In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.

There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.

This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.

At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.
