Answer:
D. When ITQs are used, no one has an incentive to cheat and exceed the quota.
Explanation:
As ITQs (individual transferable quotas) were initially created by the government to regulate an above all, social affair, which is related to the share in the total allowable catch of fish (species).
Since some of the fishermen have lower and some have higher marginal costs of "producing" fish, they trade ITQ's between themselves, with those who have high marginal costs selling ITQs to those that have low marginal costs. Also, the marginal private cost now becomes determined by the initial marginal private cost of the fish, plus the <u>price of the ITQ</u>. Then, it becomes known as the marginal social cost.
The equilibrium for the ITQ price is the difference between the <em>marginal social benefit</em> and the marginal cost. With the base marginal private cost becoming the marginal social cost, no one has the incentive to exceed the quota, as that would make the marginal cost go higher than the price, and the marginal profit lower. This notion creates the equality between self-interest and social interest.
Answer:
FV= $34,993.05
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual deposit= $1,475
Number of periods= 15 years
Interest rate= 6.25%
<u>To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {1,475*[(1.0625^15) - 1]} / 0.0625
FV= $34,993.05
Answer: Variable ... Fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, Variable Inputs or costs are known as those which can be changed and their quantities can be varied. In this scenario, the employees that Cho's uses can be varied and so are the Variable Inputs.
Similarly, those costs that cann ot be changed or varied in the short run are rightly known as Fixed Inputs. Cho's Kitchen cannot take more than 3 ovens and also she has already signed a lease for them. These costs cannot be changed and so make the oven a Fixed Input.
It is worthy of note that in the long term, all Costs are considered Variable.
