Due to the decrease in the level of water in the lakes of Chapel Hill, the local government wants to reduce the consumption of t

ap water. They are evaluating two alternatives: to impose a minimum price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater than the actual price, or to impose an excise tax of five cents on consumption of tap water. Assume that this market is originally in equilibrium. Which of these two alternatives will deliver a bigger reduction in the quantity consumed

Answer:

The correct answer is the first option: To impose a minimun price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater thant the actual price.

Explanation:

To begin with, if the local government is looking forward to reduce the consumption of the tap water due to the decrease in the level of water in the lakes of Chapel Hill, then it must impose a minimum price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater than the actual price <u>due to the fact that when the citizens continue to consume the tap water they will have to pay 5 cents more every time the exceed the gallon of water consumed</u>, therefore <em><u>paying more than one time the 5 cents extra</u></em> in the consumption instead of paying just one single time the 5 cents due to the simple consumption of water as it is suggested in the other option.

To sum up, if the government charges 5 cents more every gallon of water then the people will decrease their consumption because everytime they passed the gallon of water then they will have to pay another extra 5 cents and so on.

how does the IoT and Big Data currently play into your job, your organization and the industry? Are these two things connected a
emmainna [20.7K]

<u>Explanation:</u>

The term IoT is an acronym for 'Internet of Things' which refers to a modern technology that allows certain physical objects or “things” as we may call it to connect to the internet.

While Big Data refers not just to large data, but to an innovative field of technology that specializes in analyzing very large (big) data sets.

Consider the education industry, by means of IoT, it is possible for school management to effectively track their student's academic progress in real-time.

IoT and Big Data connected in the sense that, as these physical things (objects) communicate over the internet, a mass amount of data ("Big Data") is been generated which could then be analyzed using specialized software. In other words, they are mutually beneficial.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand

Explanation:

When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.

Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.

While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"

Imagine that you invest $100,000 in an account that pays 5.9% annual interest compounded monthly. What will your balance be at t
kodGreya [7K]
The compound interest formula is: A= P(1+ \frac{r}{n} ) ^{nt}
Where:
A is the amount you will have.
P is the money you are investing.
r: is the interest rate (in decimals)
n: number of times the interest is compounded per year
t: time (in years)

The first thing is converting the rate from percentage to decimal: 
\frac{5.9}{100} = 0.059

Since the interest is compounded every month and a year has 12 months n=12.

Now we can replace the values in our formula:
A=100000(1+ \frac{0.059}{12} ) ^{(12)(18)}

We can simplify the exponents to get:
A=100000(1+ \frac{0.059}{12} ) ^{216}

Finally, we can use our calculator to get 288463.33

After 18 your balance in your bank account will be $288463.33
