Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the new year. fireworks cost

Burka [1]

1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is 450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit analysis.

If the fireworks' cost is to be split equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely benefitted by this measure. Only he would

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be bought.

However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.

3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.

Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.

The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.

Terri, age 16, is a dependent of her parents in 2020. During the year, Terri earned $5,000 in interest income and $3,000 from pa

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

A. $4,650

B. $1,750

C. $2,900

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine Terri's taxable income

TAXABLE INCOME

Earned income $3,000

Add Unearned income $5,000

Gross income & AGI $8,000

($3,000+$5,000)

Less: Standard deduction ($3,350)

(Greater of either $3,000 or $1,050 income earned +$350)

Taxable income $4,650

($8,000-$3,350)

Therefore Terri's taxable income is $4,650

b. Calculation to determine How much of Terri's income is taxed at her rate

TAXED AT TERRI'S RATE

Taxable income $4,650

($8,000-$3,350)

Less: amount taxed at parents' rate ($2,900)

($5,000-$2,100)

Taxed at Terri's rate $1,750

Therefore The amount of Terri's income that is taxed at her rate is $1,750

c. Calculation to determine How much is taxed at her parent's rate

TAXED AT PARENTS' RATE:

Net unearned income=$5,000-$2,100

Net unearned income= $2,900

($5,000-$2,100)

Therefore The amount of Terri's income that is taxed at her parent's rate is $2,900

Is skyrim special edition worth it if you have the original

xenn [34]

Depends on if you've got it on PC or console. The console versions obviously work on the latest generation machines and come with the texture pack (which has always been free), modding capabilities (better on XBONE) and all DLC's.

So if you're looking to take your PS3/XB360 copy to the next level then I'd say yes, personally.

The PC version gets you the DLC's thrown in and that's all, assuming you don't own any of the DLC's this might be he better value overall depending on offers, so do some research, you're not gaining anything bar the DLC's though, you could already get the texture pack and mod.

Short answer: Consoles: Yes. PC: Only if the DLC's are cheaper that way.

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.20 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of

masha68 [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Current price is

= D1 ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= ($1.20 × 1.04 ÷ (0.1 - 0.04)

= $20.8

b. Now the price in three year is

P3 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^3

= $20.8 × (1.04)^3

= $23.40

c. For price in 10 year it is

P10 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^10

= $20.80 × (1.04)^10

= $30.79

We simply applied the above formula
