Answer: B. : a healthy cash reserve

Explanation:

For the company to be able to declare a Dividend, it's cash reserve needs to be healthy. For this to happen use the following formula;

Free cash balance = Available cash balance - Current Liabilities payable

= 827,000 - 436,000

= $391,000

After taking out the money that will be needed to pay the Current Liabilities, there would be an insufficient balance to pay off the Dividends of $400,000.

Their cash reserve is not healthy enough for the dividends to be declared.

The cob Douglas production function is given by Q(K,L)=AK^1.4*L^1.6
Alexeev081 [22]

Part a) The Cob Douglas production function is given as:

Q(K,L)=AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } .

To show that this function is homogeneous with degree 3, we introduce be a parameter, t.

Q(tK,tL)=A(tK)^{1.4} (tL)^ {1.6 } .

Using properties of exponents, we on tinder:

Q(tK,tL)=At^{1.4}K^{1.4} t^ {1.6 }L^ {1.6 } .

This implies that:

Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4} \times t^ {1.6 }(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4 + 1.6}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Simplify the exponent of t to get;

Q(tK,tL)=t^{3}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Hence the function is homogeneous with degree, 3

Part b) To verify Euler's Theorem, we must show that:

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L}=3AK^{1.4}L^{1.6}

Verifying from the left:

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =K(1.4AK^{0.4} L^{1.6}) + L(1.6AK^{1.4} L^{0.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =1.4(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6}) + 1.6(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =(1.4 +  1.6)(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =3(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

UNO [17]

Answer & Explanation: Lena would respond to the buyer's request of wanting a house in the Cuban neighborhood by explaining to her that legally and ethically, she cannot provide housing recommendations based on national origin as it is a form of housing discrimination which is enshrined in the Fair Housing Act. The Act can take several forms, one of which is discrimination based on national origin.

Five hundred units of good x are currently bought and sold. The marginal buyer is willing to pay $40 for the 500th unit, and the
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

D : All options are correct

Explanation:

- The marginal buyer is the essence of demand curve while marginal seller is essence of supply curve.

- @ Q = 500 units,    Selling Price is set at SP = $35

- @ Q = 500 units,    Buying Price is set at BP = $40

- Since, SP ≠ BP our equilibrium price would be $ 37.5 assuming the price elasticity of demand and supply are equal. In any case the equilibrium price would lie in between [ 35 , 40 ] such that to prevent a shortage of units in near future.

- Moreover, if the seller decides to sell at price $35 then he must sell goods greater than 500 units to reach the equilibrium profits. However, it could also lead to excess of units or surplus.

- We see that from selling the goods at SP = $35 while the buyer is willing to pay BP = $40 for 500 goods, the seller would be under-profiting and would be earning $5*500 = $2,500 less than he would at equilibrium price of $40 and selling units greater than 500. Hence, 500 goods is not an efficient quantity of goods.
