Answer:
These are the options for the question:
market-based
communist
command
laissez-faire
mixed
And this is the correct answer:
mixed
Explanation:
A mixed economy is an economy that either:
- Mixes state intervention with a free-market economy.
- Has some sectors of the economy run in market-based style, and other sectors in a planned-style.
- Has coexistence of public enterprises and private enterprises.
In the question, we have an example of a mixed economy because in the energy sector (a crucial sector in any economy), there is one public company competing against private companies.
The economy becomes even more mixed when the government lowers the tax rates of the private companies, so that both the public firm and the private firms compete under the same conditions.
This kind of agreement is called EXCLUSIVE AGENCY.
Exclusive agency is a contractual agreement under which the listing broker acts as an agent and the owner agree to pay a commission to him if the property is sold through the effort of any person with the exception of the owner of the property.

Answer:
Letter a is correct. Distort incentives and this distortion causes markets to allocate resources inefficiently.
Explanation:
What happens is that when rates rise, it causes an imbalance in supply and demand, because at higher rates companies are forced to raise prices to offset tax costs, so the pass-through of consumer prices discourages consumption and as a consequence of less consumption, production also decreases, causing the inefficient allocation of market resources.
Answer:
D. $5,000
Explanation:
This deadweight in a lot of cases are seen to occur especially when demand and supply are not in equilibrium and in and in the above scenario, it is pegged at $5000. Therefore sometimes consumers experience shortages, and producers earn but they'd otherwise.
Taxes are also seen in the creation of deadweight loss because they prevent people from engaging in purchases they'd otherwise make because the ultimate price of the merchandise is above the equilibrium value. If taxes on an item rise, the burden is commonly split between the producer and therefore the consumer, resulting in the producer receiving less cash in on the item and therefore the customer paying the next price.
