Answer:

A) less than $350

Explanation:

In economics, the Coarse Theorem for conflict resolutions argues that both parties should negotiate an economically optimal solution regardless of the original property rights.

In this case, Randall earns $350 for playing the trumpet, while Gretchen earns $570 for writing an article. Since both things are incompatible, Gretchen must find a way to convince Randall to stop playing the trumpet, either by paying him at least $350 (which equals his economic benefit of playing the trumpet) or by hiring a lawyer that costs her less than $350.

If hiring the lawyer costs more than $350, then Gretchen should just pay Randall.

Answer:

a. less than $350

Explanation:

Since Randall needs lots of practice to earn his share of the band’s profit, which will amount to $350.

Gretchen gets distracted by Randall’s trumpet playing but she needs to get her writing done to earn $570 for her current article.

If Randall owns the right to play his music and Gretchen needs to hire a lawyer to help her reach an agreement with Randall, then the price that Gretchen is willing to pay the lawyer will be less than $350

<u>The reason for the price being less than $350 is based on the simple logic that Gretchen could as well pay Randall his share of the band’s profit, which will amount to $350, for him to stop disturbing her while she writes, than to pay a lawyer that amount and still spend extra time engaging the lawyer.</u>

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

<h2>In this case,the correct answer is option b. or real output rose and price level fell.</h2>

Explanation:

GDP Deflator in Macroeconomics,shows the inflation or deflation rate in a country within the specific time period.Hence,it measures the changes in the average price level of goods and services in any country or economy over a particular period of time.It is mathematically calculated by dividing the nominal GDP of the country or economy by its real GDP.Now,a decrease in the nominal GDP relative to the real GDP or GDP deflator implies an deflationary impact or an increase in the average price level of goods and services in the economy and vise versa.Note that in this case both the nominal GDP and GDP deflator decreased from 2009 to 2010 which advocates that the price level in the economy fell(deflation) and the real output or GDP rose or increased due to deflationary impacts as reflected by the decline in GDP deflator.
