Answer:

a. a subsidy so that the firm can operate where marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost.

Explanation:

The private company is producing when the marginal revenue matches the marginal cost. The governemtn will want to decrease the cost (that's by subsidize the activity) to match the marginal revenue considering the positive externalities.

The government will do a pigouvian subsidy.

Find the effective interest rate per payment period for an interest rate of 9% compounded monthly for each of the given payment
Temka [501]

Answer:

a. 0.75% per month

b. 2.25% per quarter

c. 4.5% semi- annually

d. 9% yearly

Explanation:

a. Computing the effective interest rate per payment period for the payment schedule which is monthly:

Effective rate (monthly) = Nominal rate (r) / Compounded monthly (m)

where

r is 9%

m is 12

Putting the values above:

= 9% / 12

= 0.75% per month

b. Computing the effective interest rate per payment period for the payment schedule which is quarterly:

Effective rate (quarterly) = Nominal rate (r) / Compounded quarterly (m)

where

r is 9%

m is 4

Putting the values above:

= 9% / 4

= 2.25% per quarter

c. Computing the effective interest rate per payment period for the payment schedule which is semi- annually:

Effective rate (semi- annually) = Nominal rate (r) / Compounded quarterly (m)

where

r is 9%

m is 2 (every 6 months)

Putting the values above:

= 9% / 2

= 4.5% semi- annually

d. Computing the effective interest rate per payment period for the payment schedule which is annually:

Effective rate (annually) = Nominal rate (r) / Compounded yearly (m)

where

r is 9%

m is 1 (end of the year)

Putting the values above:

= 9% / 1

= 9% yearly

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

When you visit the executive assistant to request important changes to a spreadsheet, he is hard at work, e-mailing clients. The
valkas [14]

Answer:

he values your time

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, the executive assistant is expressing nonverbally that he values your time. This is expressed by him stopping what he was doing in order to pay attention to what you have to say to him when you enter the room. Since the work that he is doing (e-mailing clients) is incredibly important, the simple act of him stopping shows that your time is more important to him.
