<u>Answer:</u>
A consumer product for which buyers will not accept a substitute, for which purchasers do not compare alternatives, and that is purchased infrequently and with extra effort on the buyer's part is a Specialty product.

Answer:
1. False
2. Shortage; Larger
Explanation:
1. A binding price ceiling is one that prevents the market from reaching its equilibrium. In this market, the equilibrium price is $25 therefore anything below $25 will be binding. A price ceiling below $25 per box is a binding ceiling.
2<em>. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a </em><em><u>shortage</u></em><em> that is </em><em><u>larger</u></em><em> in the long run than in the short run.</em>
In the long run, supply is more sensitive because farmers can decide to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether.
This means that a price ceiling in the long run will be less attractive to farmers so they might leave the market. If they do this then the shortage will be more as there are now less supplies in the market.
Answer:
Given these facts, which state would you expect the price of prostitution services to be higher? Why?

Which state would have the higher amount of services consumed (adjusted for population differences)? Why? What are the underlying economic issues of this market?
- Since the price is higher in New Jersey, the quantity demanded will be lower. Also, the risks associated to consuming the service will shift the demand curve to the left, reducing the quantity.
Answer: B. Capital leases do not transfer ownership of the asset under the lease, but operating leases often do.
Explanation:
When using Capital Leases, the lessee will record the lease as if it were their own asset and as a result will also depreciate it. The lessee will also create a long term liability on their balance sheet for the asset.
Capital leases usually also involve a transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term. Operating Leases on the other hand do not have these features. They are more like a rental of an asset and as such are recorded as a rental expense in the books of the lessee. The ownership remains with the lessor in an Operating Lease and the asset will be returned once the lease period is over.
