Answer:

D. When ITQs are used, no one has an incentive to cheat and exceed the quota.

Explanation:

As ITQs (individual transferable quotas) were initially created by the government to regulate an above all, social affair, which is related to the share in the total allowable catch of fish (species).

Since some of the fishermen have lower and some have higher marginal costs of "producing" fish, they trade ITQ's between themselves, with those who have high marginal costs selling ITQs to those that have low marginal costs. Also, the marginal private cost now becomes determined by the initial marginal private cost of the fish, plus the <u>price of the ITQ</u>. Then, it becomes known as the marginal social cost.

The equilibrium for the ITQ price is the difference between the <em>marginal social benefit</em> and the marginal cost. With the base marginal private cost becoming the marginal social cost, no one has the incentive to exceed the quota, as that would make the marginal cost go higher than the price, and the marginal profit lower. This notion creates the equality between self-interest and social interest.

tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?

A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.

B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.

D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:

MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)

Where:

MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100

MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110

Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2

Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3

Subtitling the relevant values, we have:

MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50

MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67

This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67

The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.

Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).

Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

If consumer has rational, monotonic and convex preferences, which of the following is true concerning the substitution effect of

Zanzabum

Answer:

It will lead to an increase in consumption of good X only if X is a normal good ( D )

Explanation:

If consumer has rational, monotonic and convex preference the decrease in price of good X will lead to an increase in consumption of good X only if X is a Normal good .

This is because the demand for Normal goods increases with increase in consumers income. therefore <em>a decrease in price will automatically lead to an increase in demand because of the increase in the purchasing power of the consumer's income.</em>

Black_prince [1.1K]

<h2>Depending on the need would be the apt answer for this type of question.</h2>

Explanation:

Employees normally consider meeting as waste of time, or they might sell products instead of attending meeting. We must re-insist the purpose of meeting.

Meeting,

can make employer understand employee better and vice-versa
is to communicate latest update, expectation

is to review the road map to reach the organizational goals
is to appreciate the best work so that it would be a motivational factor for everyone
