Answer:

Yes, moral hazard is an entirely valid concept. It's just the unfortunate reality of human interaction: when we know there is a benefit coming (I'm thinking social security in particular) we are less inclined to pay our own way. Knowing that the poor or lazy won't do this, and that any of your savings may be funneled to them through the government programs, can be difficult and economically frustrating.

401k programs are retirement plans made to self-spend. This is a way of protecting against moral hazard: it awards tax benefits based on how much money the individual raises, not just what the government is willing to give them. This creates incentive, and for many it can provide an antidote to the moral hazard.

g A particular brand of toothpaste costs 4 British pounds in London. The nominal exchange rate is .80 and the real exchange rate
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The answer is option (d)$2.76

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The cost of a particular brand of toothpaste = 4 pounds

The exchange rate = .80

Real exchange rate = 1.16

Now

Real exchange rate is given as:

R = real exchange rate

e = nominal exchange rate

PF = foreign price

P = domestic price

Suppose we say that U.S. is a domestic country and British is a foreign country we have the following formula below:

R =  e(PF/P)

R = 1.16

e = 0.80

PF = 4

Thus

R =  e(PF/P)  

1.16 = 0.80(4/P)

P = 3.2/1.16

= 2.7586207

= $2.76

Therefore, The U.S rice of the same toothpaste is about $2.76

What would you expect to happen to the mix between internal financing (where companies use their own funds such as retained earn
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

With the large increase in financial market uncertainty, the mix between internal financing and external financing for new investment projects will tether towards internal sources of funding.

Explanation:

This means that the larger proportion of finance for new investment projects must come from internal sources rather than external sources.  The companies will, therefore, experience much more pressure to generate and retain sufficient profits than it would have experienced otherwise.  While this looks like the best way to go, the possibility of success depends on the chunk of the internally-generated funds that the companies already have.

One of the lessons that we learned from the Ford Pinto case was that:_________
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: option 3

Explanation:

Background to the case:

The cases involving the explosion of Ford Pinto's due to a defective fuel system design led to the debate of many issues, most centering around the use by Ford of a cost-benefit analysis and the ethics surrounding its decision not to upgrade the fuel system based on this analysis.

Basis of analysis:

Should a risk/benefit analysis be used in situations where a defect in manufacturing could lead to seriously bodily harm and even worse death, such as in the Ford Pinto situation?

Rule of the court:

There hasn’t really been a definite decision about the case and arguments both for and against such an analysis have been made. It is an economically efficient method which has been accepted by courts for numerous years, however, juries may not always agree, so companies should take this into account.

Discretion is expected to be used.

Diego, age 28, married Dolores, age 27, in 2018. Their salaries for the year amounted to $47,230 and they had interest income of
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

$2,587

Explanation:

The computation of the tax liability is shown below:

In the case of the married couples, the range of taxable income up to $19,050 would be charged a tax rate is 10%. Above $19,050 till $77,400, the tax rate is levied for 12%.

Since the taxable income is $24,730

So, the tax liability would be

= $19,050 × 10% + ($24,730 - $19,050) × 12%

= $1,905 + $681.60

= $2,587
