In 1932, the u.s. government imposed a two-cent tax on checks written on deposits in bank accounts. this action would be expected to increase the currencyâ€“deposit ratio and decrease the money supply. Tax are basically meant to defers the writing of checks. Hence people will be unwilling to pay tax and does not want to write check which will increase their bank balance and hence currency deposit ratio will rise and money supply will decrease in the economy.

A university is trying to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At a price of $24 per ticket, attendan

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: Price per ticket should be charged in order to maximize revenue is $15.

70000 people will attend at this price.

Explanation:

Let 'x' represent the decrease .

Using the given information,

Price per ticket = 24 - 3x

Average no. of people that watch the game = 40000 + 10000x

Additional money spent by every person = 6(40000 + 10000x)

Revenue [R(x)] = Price per ticket $\times$ Average no. of people that watch the game + Additional money spent

Revenue [R(x)] = (24 - 3x) $\times$ (40000 + 10000x) + 6(40000 + 10000x)

On solving the above equation we get ,

Revenue [R(x)] = -30000 $x^{2}$ + 180000x + 1200000

In order to find the critical point we'll differentiate the following with respect to x;

R'(x) = -60000x + 180000

∵ R'(x) = 0

x = 3

Thus, the price per ticket that should be charged in order to maximize revenue is (24 - 3 $\times$ 3 = 24 - 9 = $15)

People that will attend at this price = (40000 + 10000 $\times$ 3) = 70000

Touchtech earns revenue when edison purchases 100 shares, even if he purchases them from an existing shareholder.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

A. An increase in the perceived profitability of Touchtech will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to rise.

B. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to decline

Explanation:

The price of the stock changes only because of the changes in the profitability of the firm. If the company is earning lower profits then the prices of the stock will fall and vice versa. So the option A is correct because increase in profitability increases the value of the shares.

So the main thing here is the profitability of the firm which is affected by the recession in the economy because during the recession period the profitability of the firm decreases and so the value of the stock decreases. So the option B is correct
