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 price of the ITQ. Then, it becomes known as the marginal social cost.

The equilibrium for the ITQ price is the difference between the marginal social benefit 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.

Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa

Radda [10]

Answer:

$1170839.28 dyn/cm^2$

16.9816 psia

$117.083928 kN/m^2$

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G$

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water ( $P_{w}$ ) and mercury( $P_{Hg}$ ), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

$P= \rho g h$ (*)

where $\rho$ is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations ( $P_{atm}$ , height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( $P_{atm}$ , $P_{w}$ and $P_{Hg}$ ). Note that the units "x" mmHg means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

$mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}$

$mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O$

And pressure of water in mmHg is

$0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg$

The absolute pressure is:

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246 = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg$

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

$P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}$

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/ $cm^2$ to kN/ $m^2$ (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is $10^{-8}$ kN and 1 $cm^2$ is $10^{-4} m^2$ .

$1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2$

Now passing kN/ $m^2$ to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

$117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia$

loris [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) Payor Benefit

Explanation:

When the payor dies or becomes disabled, the insurer will suspend the premiums until the child reaches 19 years old, the child must be under age 18, or up to age 19 and still attending high school. Usually, the payor is a parent (father, mother, brothers).
