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.

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
timurjin [86]

Answer:

$20.80 and $29.61

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

Current price is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $1.20 + $1.20 × 4%

= $1.20 + $0.048

= $1.248

So, the current price is

= $1.248 ÷ (10% - 4%)

= $20.80

Now the price in 10 years is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $1.20 × 1.04^10

= $1.20 × 1.4802442849

= $1.7762931419

So, the price in 10 years is

= $1.7762931419  ÷ (10% - 4%)

= $29.61

Most economists believe that in the long run, changes in the money supply Group of answer choices affect nominal but not real va
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

affect nominal but not real variables. This view that money is ultimately neutral is consistent with classical theory.

Explanation:

This idea is held by classical economists (not by most economists) since they believe in the quantitative theory of money:

MV = PQ

  • M = quantity of money
  • V = velocity of money
  • P = price level
  • Q = quantity of goods

Classical theory was abandoned 90 years ago (according to classical theory, recessions were not possible and couldn't exist, but then the Great Depression came and the impossible became true). Neo-classical or monetarists appeared in the 1960s, and lately, neo-neo-classical appeared with George W. Bush. The problem with the quantitative theory is that it needs the following things to be true in order to hold, and empirical evidence over the last 90 years showed that none of them are true:

  1. the velocity of money has to be constant (AND IT IS NOT CONSTANT)
  2. real output is independent on money supply (NOT TRUE)
  3. causation goes from money to prices (MODERN ECONOMISTS BELIEVE IT IS THE OTHER WAY)

Negative externalities are created when
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is (C)

Explanation:

Negative externalities occur when an individual or firm making a choice negatively affect other parties.  A driver who recklessly drives a car on a busy highway is a negative externality because the amusement of the driver is negatively affecting other people. A negative externality arises when the benefit of a decision is less than the negative outcomes of that decision.

"Falling oil prices have caused a sharp decrease in the supply of oil." Speaking precisely, and using terms as they are defined
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The answer is: D) The quotation is incorrect: A decrease in price causes a decrease in quantity supplied, not a decrease in supply.

Explanation:

A decrease in the price of a product or service will always decrease the quantity supplied and increase the quantity demanded of the product. The terms supply and demand apply to the entire curve, not an specific point in them.  

For example, the equilibrium point for milk is 5 million gallons sold at $3 each. If the government suddenly decides that it will place a price ceiling for milk at $2 per gallon (may use argument that it is a necessity good essential for the well being of children) the quantity demanded for milk will rise but the quantity supplied will fall.

That is because not every dairy business will be able to produce and sell milk at $2 and still make a profit (or meet their expected profit levels), so they will either lower their milk production (make substitute products) or go out of business.
