Answer:

c. supply will decrease.

Explanation:

If a good's production process results in pollution and the government taxes producers to pay for cleanup costs, then supply will decrease.

Generally, when consumers of a particular product notices that the product has an adverse effect on the environment (pollution) or it is a product that causes environmental degradation, they are most likely to stop demanding or buying such products. Consequently, as the demand for such goods falls or decreases; there would be a fall in the supply of such goods. This is so because the demand for goods and services is directly proportional to the amount of quantity supplied.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Growth Rate = 5.73%

Explanation:

The present value of stock formula can be used here to solve this problem.

The formula is:

$P_0=\frac{Div_1}{r-g}$

Where

$P_0$ is the current stock price

$Div_1$ is the dividend to be paid next year

r is the rate of return required

g is the growth rate expected

Now, the first 3 variables are given, we need to find g. Substituting, we find our answer:

$P_0=\frac{Div_1}{r-g}\\53.40=\frac{3.35}{0.12-g}\\53.40(0.12-g)=3.35\\6.408-53.40g=3.35\\53.40g=3.058\\g=0.0573\\$

In percentage, it is

<u>Growth Rate = 5.73%</u>

melisa1 [442]

Answer: 1. A - Describe how the individual pursuit of self-interest works to promote the interest of the public as a whole

2. A- Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest

Explanation:

1. According to Adam Smith who is known as the father of modern economics stated in his thesis that individual's self-interest and freedom of production as well as consumption is in the best interest of the society as a whole.

Each Individual's free exchange creates signals about which goods and services are valuable. These signals will spontaneously direct competing consumers, producers, distributors, and intermediaries—each pursuing their individual plans— to fulfill the needs and desires of others.

Smith’s invisible hand became one of the primary justifications for an economic system of free market capitalism.

2. Pairing that best describes Adam Smith's view of human motivation in a market economy and Karl Marx's view of human motivation in a communist economy: Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest as they both believe that the economy is a capitalist economy that all its good and services are in the hands of private individuals.

Answer:

"bonuses"

Explanation:

according to my research on the different type of payments that are given to employees, I can say that the answer is "bonuses", because it is the only type of physical payment that is missing from the question. Bonuses are paid to employees when reach a certain milestone or goal that is set by the employer or company, usually used as an employee motivator.

Natalle's parents keep pushing her to find a job, but she has not had much luck. She spends her time searching the Internet for

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

So what we can infer is that Natalle is really lazy when looking for a job. Now, we can also infer that her friends and her parents push her to get a job, but she will not go, which is why she rarely goes to interviews for one. When she does, however, just as mentioned here, she showed up half an hour late. So, I am not saying that she should blame her friends for herself being late, but out of all of the choices, this seems the most logical for the following reasons:

A- Her Friends Have Jobs (Wrong)

B- Person-blame happens ALL of the time, not rarely. (Wrong)

C- The only logical answer (still not ok to blame people) (Correct)

D-There is plenty of info. (Wrong)
