Answer:
C. Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
The lobbyst is using the infant-industry argument because he is claiming that all that the emerging national industry needs is some temporary trade restrictions until it can develop enough to compete.
This argument is very commonly used against free trade, and is based on the belief that national industries should be allowed to grow in isolation before opening up the markets. The problem with this argument is what happens if the national industry remains uncompetitive even after a long period of trade restrictions.
Answer:
600 units
Explanation:
The equation to calculate target profit is:
S × Q = (V × Q) + F + T
-
S = sales price
- Q = Quantity of units
- V = Variable expenses
- F = Fixed expenses
- T = Target profit
$134Q = $67Q + $32,300 + $7,900
$134Q - $67Q = $40,200
$67Q = $40,200
Q = $40,200 / $67 = 600
Answer:
a) attached below.
b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Explanation:
<u>a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes </u>
attached below
when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x
when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000
When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x
<u>b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then </u>
; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response
hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )
will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Marginal federal income tax rate = 30%
Sum of your marginal state and local tax rates = 5%
Yield on thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds = 10%
Municipal bond has a yield:
= U.S Treasury bonds × (1 - tax)
= 10% × (1 - 30%)
= (10 ÷ 100) × [1 - (30 ÷ 100)]
= (10 ÷ 100) × (70 ÷ 100
)
= (1 ÷ 10) × (7 ÷ 10
)
= (7 ÷ 100)
= 7%
