Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
Answer:
75%
Explanation:
Since the production center is available for 8 hours per day in a factory, and the worker operating it is required to lubricate these rotary parts once each day.
If it takes 2 hours to remove these parts from the equipment, lubricate them, and re-assemble them and the production center is not available for production during these times;
Then the availability of the production center is 75% which is derived by : [8 hours total - 2 hours downtime / 8 hours total availability] x 100 = 75%

However, in the event where the issuing company meets specific financial targets, holders of participating stocks will get more dividend payments above the normal fixed rate.
Answer:
C. 1.40x
Explanation:
1. Production:
November through February: x rakes/month* 4 months = 4x rakes.
2. Shipping and storage costs
March= 4x (initial stock) - x/2 (shipped) = 3.5 x (in stock) * 0.1$ = $0.35
April = 3.5x (stock at end of March) - x/2 (shipped) = 3x*0.1$ = $0.30
May = 3x (stock at the end of April) - x/2 (shipped) = 2.5x*0.1$ = $0.25
June= 2.5x (stock at the end of May) - x/2 (shipped) = 2x (in stock) * $0.1 = 0.2$
July = 2x (stock at end of June) - x/2 (shipped) = 1.5x*0.1$ = $0.15
August = 1.5x (stock at the end of July) - x/2 (shipped) = 1x*0.1$ = $0.1
Sept= 1x (stock at the end of August.) - x/2 (shipped) = 0.5 x (in stock) * $0.1 = $0.05
October = 0.5x (stock at end of sept.) - x/2 (shipped) = 0*$0.1 = $0
Total storage cost= $0.35x+$0.30x+$0.25x+$0.20x+$0.15x+$0.10x+$0.05x+$0x
Total storage cost = $1.40X
