.Academic studies suggest that the amount people tip at restaurants is only slightly related to the quality of service, and that

tips are poor measures of how happy people are with their service. Is this an example of market failure? CHOOSE ONE:
No, market failure only exists when a company produces too little of a good or service. The organizations are providing the service; consumers just choose not to tip the workers accordingly.

Yes the consumers tend to tip based on thier mood at the time or whether they have enough money

No if this were a form of market failure, the government would stop allowing people to tip individuals for thier services.

Yes this could be considered a form of market failure. If consumers and markets were rational tips would be based on the quality of service.

There are various forms of market failure, though it is commonly defined in economics as a situation where the distribution of goods and service are conducted in an inefficient manner.

In the case illustrated in the question, the form of market failure that is taking place occurs in the nature of the exchange, which is due to bounded rationality. It is defined as condition commonly occurring in individuals where decision-making is based on making a satisfactory solution instead of an optimal one – this leads to irrational behaviors. A good example is the tipping behavior provided in the question.

Thus, the answer to the question is (D) Yes this could be considered a form of market failure. If consumers and markets were rational tips would be based on the quality of service.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is

A)  An exchange of a long position in a fixed-rate bond for a short position in a floating-rate note.

Explanation:

Swapping a fixed interest for a floating one can occur if the fixed interest tenure in comparison to a floating exchange rate becomes less expensive for the entity who took the loan.

Also executing a swap in interest rates (that is giving up the fixed tenure for the floating tenure) helps to ensure that liabilities are kept at minimum whilst assets are maximised.

It is important to note that the capital remains unmodified.

Cheers

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

"Nonliquidating corporate distributions are distributions of cash and/or property by a continuing corporation to its shareholders. At the shareholder level, a nonliquidating corporate distribution can produce a variety of tax consequences, including taxable dividend treatment, capital gain or loss, or a reduction in stock basis. [...]

The corporate-level tax consequences of a nonliquidating corporate distribution depend on whether the distribution consists of cash or property (other than cash). The corporation does not recognize gain or loss when it distributes cash to shareholders or when it redeems stock in exchange for cash payments."
