b. Firm A engaged in predatory pricing.
Explanation:
Since Firm A and B are the only two companies that sell mail-order DVD rental subscriptions.
Firm A decided to price its subscriptions below average variable cost thereby causing Firm B to also sell subscriptions below average variable cost, but they went bankrupt and exited the market. Firm A then raised prices by 40% and is currently earning large, positive economic profits.
Based on this information only, an argument can be made that Firm A engaged in predatory pricing.
Predatory pricing is a marketing or pricing strategy that involves lowering the cost of goods and services for a short-term, in order to lure competing firms to lower their price, thus causing them to go bankrupt and exiting from the market.

Answer:
What happens to the wealth effect of a change in the aggregate price level as a result of this allocation of assets?
- The consumers' wealth effect will rise since the slope of the aggregate demand curve increases as the prices of assets increases, i.e. the slope of the aggregate demand curve becomes steeper as customers become wealthier.
Will aggregate demand still be downward sloping? Why or why not?
- The aggregate demand curve sill still be downward sloping because as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded will still decrease. An inverse relationship exists between price changes and quantity demanded.
Answer:
Explanation:
We solve by first, getting the quota Horatio pays on his loan:
PV 12,450
time: 10 yearss x 12 months per year = 120
monthly rate: 7.3% / 12 = 0.006083333
C $ 146.487
Now, we miltiply the quota by the quantity of payment ans subtract the principal to get the amount of interest paid:
quota times quantity of monthly payment: total amount paid
less principal: interest paid.
146.49 x 120 - 12,450 = 5,128,80
