Answer:

A). The price of gasoline increased in coastal cities since gasoline was harder to find.

Explanation:

As per the principles of demand and supply, a decrease in supply while demand remains constant will cause the price to increase.  In Georgia, the supply of gasoline was interrupted by the storm's effect. There was little gasoline coming in, leading to a shortage. After Electricity went off, gasoline demand must have gone high as people needed fuel for generators.

Gasoline has no close substitutes, especially when used as fuel for cars and generators. A shortage results in the scramble for the little available products. Sellers hike prices to maximize profits, and buyers are willing to pay more to get the scarce gasoline, thereby increasing its prices.

For each of the following, compute the present value: (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Present value = FV / (1 + r)^t

1. PV = $19,415 / (1 + 0.07)^15

PV = $19,415 / (1.07)^15

PV = $19,415 / 2.759031

PV = $7,036.89

2. PV = $47,382 / (1 + 0.11)^8

PV = $47,382 / (1.11)^8

PV = $47,382 / 2.3045378

PV = $20,560.31

3. PV = $312,176 / (1 + 0.10)^13

PV = $312,176 / (1.10)^13

PV = $312,176 / 3.4522712

PV = $90,426.27

4. PV = $629,381 / (1 + 0.13)^25

PV = $629,381 / (1.13)^25

PV = $629,381 / 21.230542

PV = $29,645.07

A monopoly market is characterized by the inverse demand curve P = 1,200 – 40 Q and a constant marginal cost of $200. If the mar
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The profit maximizing output level declines by 2.5 units and the price rises by $100.

Explanation:

In a monopoly market the inverse demand curve is given as,

P = 1,200 - 40Q

The marginal cost of production of the last unit is $200.

The total revenue is

= Price\times Quantity

= 1,200Q - 40Q^{2}

The marginal revenue of the last unit is

= \frac{d}{dx} TR

= 1,200 - 80Q

At equilibrium the marginal revenue is equal to marginal price,

MR = MC

1,200 - 80Q = 200

80Q = 1,000

Q = 12.5

Putting the value of Q in the inverse demand function,

P = 1,200 - 40\times 12.5

P = $700

Now, if the marginal cost rises to $400,

At equilibrium the marginal revenue is equal to marginal price,

MR = MC

1,200 - 80Q = 400

80Q = 800

Q = 10

Putting the value of Q in the inverse demand function,

P = 1,200 - 40\times 10

P = $800

The government is required to provide legal counsel to all federal defendants who are unable to afford their own attorney. True
Yanka [14]

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right of criminal suspects to have an attorney defend them in court. This right does not depend on the defendant's ability to pay attorneys' fees. If the defendant cannot afford one, the government must provide one.

An amendment is a formal or official change to a statute, treaty, constitution, or legal document. It is based on the verb 'change' which means 'to change for the better.

Changes may add, remove or update portions of this Agreement. They are often used when it is better to modify a document than to create a new one. Only legislative bodies are involved in the change process.

Clarence used to work as a doctor in a federal government hospital. After retiring, he started a private clinic to continue prac
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

self-actualization

Explanation:

The answer is deeply related to "Maslows Hierarchy of Needs."

Abraham Harold Maslow is a popular American psychologist who introduced a motivational theory consisting of five stages in relation to the<em> deficiency needs and growth needs of humans.</em>

Everything starts with the deficiency needs.<u> It is very important to satisfy this need in order to engage into the growth needs.</u> For example, a boy is very thirsty. If that need will not be met, the boy will continuously crave for water. On the contrary, if this is met immediately, the boy will aim to grow as a person. This is what you call the growth needs.

This needs are presented in a pyramid.

From top to bottom:

1. Self-actualization

2. Self-esteem Needs

3. Love or Belongingness Needs

4. Safety Needs

5. Physiological Needs

It is ideal for a person to progress from Physiological Needs to Self-actualization, but it doesn't mean every stage is always met. Sometimes, fluctuations occur depending on the situation.

Regarding Clarence's case above. It was stated that he already worked as a doctor in a federal government. This means that he has already satisfied his self-esteem needs and the other needs below. Becoming a doctor is a prestige and a feeling of accomplishment. This can be found on the <u>Self-Esteem Needs </u>stage. In addition to this, <em>Clarence already reached his full potential and is seeking for personal growth and independence. </em>This is backed by the statement above that he opened a private clinic to continue his practice. This means he is already on the self-actualization stage of the hierarchy.
