National defense is a good that is nonexcludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that instead of national defense being pai

d for with tax dollars national defense is paid for by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia. Bob, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national-defense budget. Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Bob. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10 . Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole. How much does Bob personally value the increase in national defense when he contributes $10 to the defense fund?

Answer: $2.50

Explanation:

We all know that national defense is a non excludable and no rival good which means that one person cannot exclude others from consuming it and the consumption level of national defense remains the same for all the citizens, it will not be reduced from the consumption of one individual.

It was given that each person values every dollar that is contributed towards national defense is at %0.25.

Therefore, if Bob contributes $10 to the national defense fund then his personal valuation of the increase in the fund is only (0.25 × 10)= $2.50.

navik [9.2K]

Answer: Liquidity in the banking system is increased

Explanation:

The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to lend each other their excess reserves overnight to meet reserve requirements.

If this rate were to be reduced, it would make lending cheaper between banks who would then take advantage of this to borrow more occasionally. This will then translate to a higher liquidity amongst the banks.

If there are important external benefits associated with the consumption of a product:_______.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.

Explanation:

Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.

Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.

Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.

So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in which of the following circumst
Katarina [22]

Answer:

B. 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.

A decedent refers to a deceased person who is no longer able to control his or her properties (wealth).

Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.

This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in the following circumstances:

I. The decedent gave the policy to his father four years ago, but retained the right to change the name of the beneficiary.

II. The policy beneficiary is a grantor trust of the decedent but the policy is owned by a closely-held corporation.
