Answer:
c) wasteful rent-seeking
Explanation:
Rent-seeking is an economic activity that does not add any value, and it often includes lobbying and spending resources of your own company. This is a common practice when companies cannot find another feasible revenue stream, so they manipulate the distribution of various resources to gain wealth. This way, no value is created.
Answer: 17.5%
Explanation:
The equilibrium will occur where the money demanded equals to the money supplied i.e Ms = Md
From the question, the supply of currency by the Central Bank = 40
Money Supply (Ms) = m × B
where m = Money multiplier = 2.5
Note that the money multiplier can also be equal to 1/rr in situations wherebt the consumers do not hold any currency.
rr = reserve ratio, = 0.4
B = monetary base = 40
Note that the monetary base here is 40.
Since reserve ratio = 0.4, therefore
m = 1/0.4 = 2.5
Therefore, Ms = m × B
= 2.5 × 40
= 100
Thus Money supply Ms = 100.
Money demand(Md) = Y(0.3 - i),
Y = income = 800
i = interest rate
Since (Md) = Y(0.3 - i),
Md = 800(0.3 - i)
Equate the equation for the money demand and money supply together.
Ms = Md
100 = 800(0.3 - i)
100 = 240 - 800i
800i = 240 - 100
800i = 140
i = 140/800
i= 0.175
= 17.5%
Therefore, the interest rate is 17.5%

Answer
Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16
Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29
Explanation:
To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:
![PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PED%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%28Q2-Q1%29%2F%5B%28Q2%2BQ1%29%2F2%5D%7D%7B%28P2-P1%29%2F%5B%28P2%2BP1%2F2%5D%7D)
Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.
Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.
Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).
