Answer: Please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

When a consumer is choosing between two goods which are considered to be perfect substitutes , the optimal bundles choice will be the number of good x and good z that will yield maximum utility is found the ratio of Marginal utility of good x and marginal utility of good z equals the ratio of the Price of good x and the price of good z or The Marginal utility of good x per dollar must be equal to the marginal utility of good z per dollar.

Marginal Utility of good x = MUx

Marginal Utility of Good z = MUz

Utility function = U(qx,qz)

qx and qz maximises U(qx,qz) when

\frac{MUx}{MUz} = \frac{Px}{Pz}   or  \frac{MUx}{Px}  = \frac{MUz}{Pz}

When she receives the same marginal utility per dollar in good x and good y, utility is maximized

According to​ economists, an efficient tax is one that A. maximizes tax revenue for government. B. is relatively easy to collect
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. imposes a small deadweight loss relative to the tax revenue it raises.

Explanation:

By not discouraging the activity, it is understood that taxes should not distort the economic decisions of the individuals subject to taxation. In the theory of Public Finance the inefficiency of taxation can be analyzed through the so-called "excess tax", as a quantification of the loss of utility generated by a distorting tax. The excess of tax arises because the loss of total welfare generated by the tax on the individual with the modification in their behavior, is greater than the mere loss of welfare caused by the decrease in disposable income that comes with the payment of the tax. The value of excess tax that is generated by the substitution effect is greater the higher the tax rate and elasticity (Musgrave, 1986). Therefore, the relationship of exchange between efficiency and equity is not so simple for governments when designing their fiscal policy.

Assume that a war breaks out abroad, and foreign investors choose to invest more in a large safe country, the United States. The
goldenfox [79]

Answer: the U.S. real interest rate and net exports will both rise.

Explanation: Due to the ongoing war abroad, there would be a reduction in production of goods and services in the affected countries and a rise in the production of goods and services in the safe haven country (US) leading to increased levels of export to meet the demand.

War affects investments negatively. As a result, investments are also moved to the US for safety. However, pressure on US producers and eventual shortage due to increased exports, would lead to inflation and increase in prices of goods and services. To mitigate these effects and to reduce the supply of money, government would increase interest rates.

This explains why both interest rates and export both rise.
