Answer:

b. The slope of the budget constraint is the same for each woman.

Explanation:

Budget Line is the combination of two goods that a consumer can buy, given prices & money income (all spent).

Equation : p1x1 + p2x2 = m ;

where p1 & p2 are price of good 1 & 2 , x1 & x2 are quantities of good 1 & good 2 , m = money income  

  • Abby's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 80
  • Bobbi's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 60
  • Deborah's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 40 [ I = Icecream, N = Novel ]  

Slope of Budget Line represents change (sacrifise) of a good needed to get change (gain) of other good, given same prices & income.

Slope = ΔY/ΔX = Px / Py

Since prices are same for each woman, price ratios & hence the slope of budget line will also be same for all of them.

  2. The social cost curve is also indicated accordingly.
  3. From an efficiency perspective, subsidizing vaccines <em>does</em> make sense because, without the subsidy, the equilibrium quantity is <em>less</em> than the socially optimal quantity.
  4. 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 <em>punishment  </em>and lead the market to a<em> socially efficient </em>
  5. 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.

Small

Why would a smart person keep at least $100 balance in their checking account at all times
aliya0001 [1]

One of the major reasons to keep at least $100 in your checking account is to actually cover for unexpected expenses, and also to avoid bank charges or fees for either an overdraft or a returned unpaid transactions.

It could also come handy if you get stuck somewhere, or if you need to take a taxi after having dinner with your new date, and your debit/credit card is on $0.00, this could save you the ultimate embarrassment by just transfering money from checking to your savings account.
