Answer and Explanation:
A consumer surplus is the gain a consumer makes by paying less than he is willing to pay for a product. Example if a consumer is willing to pay $300 for a mobile phone but pay $200 for the phone, the consumer surplus is $100
Given that the demand function is P=60-Q
And price is 30
Therefore consumer surplus is, substitute 30 in p
30=60-Q
30-60=-Q
-30=-Q
Q=-30/-1
Q=30
Therefore consumer surplus = 30

Answer:
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years made from unwrapping the original swap agreement is $20.00
Explanation:
From the given information;
The annual gain from swap agreements = $61.50 - $51.25
The annual gain from swap agreements = $10.25
Annual rate for the first year = 1% = 0.01
Annual rate for the second year = 2% = 0.02
However the present gain for the first year will be;
= 10.14851485
The present gain for the second year will be;
= 9.851980008
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years is:
= 10.14851485 + 9.851980008
= 20.00049486
≅ $ 20.00
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years is $20.00
Answer:
97.4310
Explanation:
Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + Rate of inflation in India)/(1 + Rate of inflation in US)
Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * (1+0.08)^5/(1+0.02)^5
Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * (1.08)^5/(1.02)^5
Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * (1.4693281/1.104081)
Spot rate in 5 years = 73.2115 * 1.330815493
Spot rate in 5 years = 97.4309984657695
Spot rate in 5 years = 97.4310
There are various forms of market failure, though it is commonly defined in economics as a situation where the distribution of goods and service are conducted in an inefficient manner.
In the case illustrated in the question, the form of market failure that is taking place occurs in the nature of the exchange, which is due to bounded rationality. It is defined as condition commonly occurring in individuals where decision-making is based on making a satisfactory solution instead of an optimal one – this leads to irrational behaviors. A good example is the tipping behavior provided in the question.
Thus, the answer to the question is (D) Yes this could be considered a form of market failure. If consumers and markets were rational tips would be based on the quality of service.
