Answer:

Correct option is (d)

Explanation:

Welfare economics deals with the study of distribution of resources affect the overall welfare of the society and economy as a whole.

It is a part of economics that studies the role of government in aligning policies for the welfare of the society and ensuring that every section of the society is equally developed.

The concept was developed as inequality in distribution of wealth and resources was observed across different sections of the economy. Poor was becoming poorer and rich, becoming richer. This hampered overall growth of the economy, thereby giving birth to welfare economics.

wel

Answer:

E) bowed out shape of the production possibilities frontier.

Explanation:

The production possibilities frontier curve is usually has a bowed out shape because as the production of one of the products increases, the opportunity cost of producing the other product also increases.

As shown in the attached image, as the production of Y increases, the opportunity cost of producing X will also increase, giving the curve a bowed shape. The same happens to the opportunity cost of producing Y when the production of X increases.

Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same,
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

New quantity supplied of dog food = 107.0

Old quantity supplied of dog food = Initial equilibrium quantity = 21.0

New price = $8.75

Old price = Initial equilibrium price = $1.50

Generally, the formula for calculating the elasticity of supply is as

follows:

Elasticity of supply = Percentage change in quantity supplied / Percentage change in price ................ (1)

Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:

Percentage change in quantity supplied of dog food = {(New quantity supplied of dog food - Old quantity supplied of dog food) / [(New quantity supplied of dog food + Old quantity supplied of dog food) / 2]} * 100 = {(107.0 - 21.0) / [(107.0 + 21.0) / 2]} * 100 = 134.375%

Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old price) / 2]} * 100 = {(8.75 - 1.50) / [(8.75 + 1.50) / 2]} * 100 = 141.463414634146%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 134.375% / 141.463414634146% = 0.94989224137931

Approximated to 2 decimal places, we have:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95

Suppose that you buy a two-year 7.4% bond at its face value. a-1. What will be your total nominal return over the two years if i
Harman [31]

Answer: 15.35%

Explanation:

The total nominal return over the two years if inflation is 2.4% in the first year and 4.4% in the second year will be calculated thus:

= (1+Interest rate)² -1

= (1 + 7.4%) - 1

= (1 + 0.074)² - 1

= 1.074² - 1

= 1.153476 - 1

= 0.153476

= 15.35% over the two years
