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.

The accountant for Eva's Laundry prepared the following unadjusted and adjusted trial balances. Assume that all balances in the

amm1812

Answer:

See the errors identified below.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:

1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.

Therefore, we should have:

Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100

2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.

3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.

4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.

5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.

Additional Note:

After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.

If the cross- price elasticity of demand between beer and wine is 0.31, then beer and wine are complements. a. substitutes. b. p

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The answer is Substitutes.

Explanation:

For cross-price elasticity we can either have substitute goods or compliment goods. If the cross-price elasticity is positive, then the goods are substitutes and If the cross-price elasticity is negative, then the goods are compliments.

In this example, the cross-price elasticity is 0.31. This answer is postive, meaning, beer and wine are substitutes.

So 1% increase in price of wine will make demand of beer to rise by 0.31.

It can't be complement s because it is not negative.

It can't be necessities because this does not relate to cross-price elasticity
