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).
Answer:
Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables
Explanation:
Vegetables Chicken Trade Off Ratio
John 40 10 4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)
George 25 5 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)
John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :
- John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
- George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).
So, John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.
- It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
- Unitary method:- '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .
Answer:
C. strictly liable for Will's injuries
Explanation:
In law, Strict liability is a situation when defendant is required to be responsible to a certain situation, but can't be considered as guilty to any violation.
There are two points that need to be highlighted from the case above:
1. Astor Manufacturing process has fulfilled all of its safety regulation for storing the dangerous product.
2. The dangerous product owned by Astor Manufacturing caused William's injury.
The regulations for hazard management is created by the government, and the leak is not caused by their negligence. It's caused by unexpected natural disaster. This is why we can't say that Astor is guilty to any violation.
But still, the chemical that they created injured William. The court will most likely force Astor to be responsible for all the medical expenses incurred by william.
Answer:
B) must be balanced by a statement that trading options can also result in significant losses.
Explanation:
Representatives do not trade securities by themselves, they only enter orders on behalf of their clients and following their clients' orders. That means that the clients assume the risk of losing money due to a bad investment. The clients are also the ones that benefit the most since it is their money being invested. Any statement that states the possibility of significant earnings, must also include the possibility of significant losses.
Answer:
I strongly believe that the correct answer is B. Im going to give an example. if we take into account a company like Honda produces 4000 units, for example Mercedes Benz produces 7000 units, this is very important for welfare economics which tries to put values on consumption.
