Answer: Hi your question is incomplete attached below are the missing details

answer :

A) 16 used DVDs

B) i) $18

   ii) $6

   iii) $8

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the weekly shortage of used DVDs due to ceiling price = $11</u>

shortage = Quantity demanded ( H ) - Quantity supplied ( F )

at ceiling price of $11 ; quantity demanded = 20 , Quantity supplied = 4

                = 20 - 4  = 16 used DVDs

B) i) <em>New consumer surplus = ADLK </em>

ADLK = ∠ ABK + BKLD

          = 1/2 * 4 * 1 ) + ( 15 - 11 )*4 = $18

<em>ii) New producer surplus = DLE </em>

DLE = 1/2 * 4 * ( 11-8 )

       = $6

<em> iii) Total economic surplus lost </em>

ΔKJL = 1/2 ( 8 - 4 ) * ( 15 - 11 )

         = $8

The Fed wants to fight inflation. What action should they take regarding the discount rate, the RR, or open market operations?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inflation is when there's a general increase in the price level in an economy. To tackle inflation, the Fed can increase the interest rate as this will discourage people or firms from borrowing and hence there'll be a reduction in the money supply.

Also, the Fed can sell bond to the public, thereby taking in the cash in the economy and reducing the money supply thus reducing inflation. Lastly, the Fed can also increase the reserve ratio for banks. When this is done, there'll be lesser money available in the economy.

Katie Kwasi’s utility function is U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2. Given her current income and the current relative prices, she consu
aniked [119]

Answer:

Katie Kwasi's Utility Function

The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:

= 40 units of x1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2

Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:

= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2

= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2

Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint.  If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.

There are three clues labeled "daily double" on the game show Jeopardy. If three equally matched contenders play, what is the pr
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a)  0.0358

b)  0.0395

c)  0.1506

Explanation:

Number of clues "daily doubles" = 3

Determine the probabilities

<u>a) P(single contestant finds all three ) </u>

assuming event A= a returning champion gets the "daily double" in first trial

P(A) = 1/30 , P(~A) = 29/30              

assuming event B = any player picks up "daily double" after the first move

P(B |~A ) = 1/3

hence : P ( B and ~A ) = 29/30 * 1/3 = 29/90

<em>considering second round </em>

P(player chooses both daily doubles ) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

∴ P(single contestant finds all three )  = 29/90 * 1/9 = 0.0358

<u>B) P ( returning champion gets all three ) </u>

= (1/30 + 29/90 )* 1/9

= 32 / 810 = 0.0395

<u>c) P ( each player selects only one )</u>

P = 32/405 + 29/405

  = 61 / 405 = 0.1506
