Answer:

a reduction in efficiency

Explanation:

The term "economy" was coined from Greek, meaning 'the one manages a household.' Economy primarily deals with the concept of scarcity. An item is considered as a scarce in the society when all in that society cannot posses or have all of that they want of the item.

And efficiency means the society is getting most of it from the scarce item in the market. The government policies are designed to tradeoff between the equity and efficiency. The government always attempts to increase the equality and to decrease the efficiency in an economy.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Price willing to pay=$1105.94

Explanation:

Annual Coupon Payment=$1,000*0.08

Annual Coupon Payment=$80

Calculating Present Value (PV) of Par Value:

$PV=\frac{FV}{(1+i)^{20}}$

Where:

i is the rate of return.

FV is par value

$PV=\frac{\$1000}{(1+0.07)^{20}}$

PV= $258.419.

Calculating PV of annual Coupon Payment:

$PV=A\frac{1-(1+i)^{-20}}{i}$

i is the coupon rate

A is the annual Payment

$PV=\$80\frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-20}}{0.07}$

PV=$847.521

Price willing to pay= Present Value (PV) of Par Value+ PV of annual Coupon Payment

Price willing to pay=$258.419+$847.521

Price willing to pay=$1105.94

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Explicit costs are actual costs which Yakov must make while implicit costs are opposite of explicit costs, Implicit costs are opportunity costs.

Grouping them, we have the following;

•The wages and utility bills that Yakov pays. => Explicit costs

•The salary Yakov could earn if he worked as a paralegal.=>Implicit Costs

•The wholesale cost for the pianos that Yakov pays the manufacturer. => Explicit costs

•The rental income Yakov could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom =>Implicit Costs

2) Yakov's accounting and economic profit of his piano business.

Profit($)

Acct Profit.......... Economic Profit

$14,000. .............. -$9,000 (loss)

•Yakov's accounting profit will be his revenue - explicit costs.

Therefore accounting profit=

$704,000 - ($404,000 - $286,000) = $14,000

• Yakov's economic profit will be (accounting profit - (rent + forgone salary)

Therefore, accounting profit =

$14,000 - ($3,000+$20,000) = -$9,000

Nataly [62]

Answer:

b. Dec. 31

The revenue earned which is normally a credit balance is closed by debiting the account and crediting the income summary. The expenses are closed by crediting the account and debiting the income summary.

Hence if Fees Earned, $750, and Rent Revenue, $175,

Total revenue = $750 + $175
