Answer:

Market economy

Explanation:

There are three predominant economic system; <u>market economy, command economy and mixed economy. </u>

  1. In Market economy individuals and firms are free to make their own choices. There is no regulatory authority that is monitoring the system. Firms can produce whatever they want and sell it at whatever price they desire. This idea of free market was first suggested by economist Adam Smith. Firms will only manufacture goods that market demands, even if they are dangerous to the society e.g. cannabis and LSD. If the demand exists and firms can make profit, they will produce it regardless of its impact on the society.
  2. Command economy is heavily monitored by government. Government decide what to produce, how much to product and for whom to produce. The price is fix for every product. For example, if the price of cheese is set at $10 per pound, everyone will get it for $10. There is no concept of private ownership and everything is owned by the government.
  3. Mixed economy, also known as traditional economy is a combination of above two types. There is private as well as public ownership. Firms can produce goods, but they will follow laws and regulations (firms can't make and sell LSD to teenagers). The government provide healthcare, education and protect consumers from private institutions.  

The question deals with a situation where there is no government intervention. The firms are free to make their own production, distribution and pricing decisions. Hence, it’s a market economy.

Suppose people cannot tell for sure whether they will fall ill in any given year. High-risk people correctly perceive their chan
Crank

The expected annual medical expenses of a high-risk person is $3000 per year while that of a low-risk person is $1000 per year.

The expected annual medical expenses of a high-risk person will be calculated as:

= Probability of falling ill × Expenses in case of illness

= 30% × $10000

= 0.3 × $10000

= $3000

The expected annual medical expenses of a low-risk person will be calculated as:

= Probability of falling ill × Expenses in case of illness

= 10% × $10000

= 0.1 × $10000

= $1000

It should be noted that in a situation where the individuals are risk neutral, the low-risk persons will not buy insurance as only the high-risk individuals will be expected to buy<em> insurance.</em>

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a.38%

b. No because the margin is above the requirement at 38%

c.-150%

Explanation:

a.

1000 shares*$40 per share = 40000

margin requirement is 50% so equity = 20000

1 year later price increase to 50

$1000 shares*$50 per share = 50000

dividend = $2*1000 = 2000

margin = 20000/52000 = 38%

b.

No because the margin is above the requirement at 38%

c.

Price of 1000 stock year 1 at 50$/share = 50000

40000 – 50000 = -10000

Rate of return = (-10000 -20000)/20000 = -150%
