Insurance is a social and merit good as it makes financially risk averse people better off. It can help protect a business or a person from financial loss, liabilities or instability in the case of an owner or business partner's death. The benefit is administered by a central organization such as a government agency, private business, or not-for-profit entity.

Ben is exhausting his money income consuming products A and B in such quantities that MUa/Pa = 6 and MUb/Pb = 4. Ben should purc
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given the marginal utility per dollar for the two products as follows:

\frac{MU_{a} }{P_{a} } =6

\frac{MU_{b} }{P_{b} } =4

All the individuals wants to maximize their utility that is obtained from the consumption of goods. We can see that marginal utility per dollar of product A is higher than the marginal utility per dollar of product B which means that this consumer should purchase more quantity of product A and less quantity of product B.

It is going on until the point at which marginal utility per dollar of both the products becomes equal.

Below are various states of financial distress: 1. defaulting on a principal payment on debt 2. restructuring debt 3. liquidatin
anastassius [24]
<span>1) failing to make a required interest payment on time. I chose this as the least significant because you can always make up a late payment and then its not really a huge deal. It could hurt your credit score but it is not a life or death situation. 2) defaulting on a principal payment on debt. This is a little worse because at this point you cant cant even pay the debt and now your falling a little worse into debt but you can still get out. 3) restructuring debt. This is worse because you already have obtained a lot of debt but you are getting the chance to restructure it to help pay it off you even though your in a bad spot you still have a chance to get out. 4) filing for bankruptcy. At this point you are bankrupt you really don't have a lot of options left and you are kind of at the point of no return unless you can get a hold of a lot of cash really fast. 5) liquidating a firm. At this point you have to sell all of your assets in order to pay of your debt. You will be left with nothing left you may even have to sell you house all your jewelry basically everything that you own that has some value that can be sold.</span>

Normal and inferior goods are differently impacted by recessions. Examples include new cars versus fast food. The textbook examp
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

research four other examples of inferior goods.

There are many examples of inferior goods. Inferior goods are al those goods whose demand rises in times of economic recession. Some examples are:

Cheap food substitutes like supermarket coffee, instantaneous ramen, or canned vegetables.

Cheap clothes.

Flights in low-cost airlines.

Consider the impact of economic recessions and expansions on normal goods.

Economic recessions impact normal goods negatively because people have less income to spend, and they opt to substitute the normal goods for inferior goods.

discuss how revenues of inferior goods producers are expected to be affected by economic recessions and expansions.

In economic recessions, revenues for producers of inferior goods are expected to rise because demand for inferior goods grows. However, because inferior goods are precisely cheaper, this does not necessarily mean that every inferior good producer will make a lot of money.

In economic expansions, revenues for producers of inferior goods will fall, because people, with more income, will flock to normal goods or even luxury goods.
