Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48 (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting (Eq. 2) from (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

Check

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

A local school administrator observes an increase in the number of flu cases in the public schools over the last two years. She

pshichka [43]

It should be noted that the failure to vaccinate some children isn an external cost. [See the attached graph]
The social cost curve is also indicated accordingly.
From an efficiency perspective, subsidizing vaccines does make sense because, without the subsidy, the equilibrium quantity is less than the socially optimal quantity.
The school nurse suggests publishing a list of which kids did not get a flu vaccine, in the hope that public shaming will lead people to vaccinate their children. The school nurse is hoping that social norms will act like a punishment and lead the market to a socially efficient
The flaws that the school nurse's suggestion have are:

People that feel passionate about not vaccinating are typically doing so for medical or religious reasons and will not sway to social norms or peer pressure. (Option B)

The school would potentially face a lawsuit because sharing protected health information (PHI), like immunization records, without parents' consent could be a violation depending on the regulations of the state. (Option C)

<h3>What is social Cost?</h3>

In neoclassical economics, the social cost is the total of the transaction's private costs plus the costs imposed on consumers as a result of being exposed to the process for which they are not rewarded or taxed.

In other words, it is the total of internal and external expenses.
