Answer: a. sufficient incentives for innovation, as well as completely appropriate incentives for innovation

Explanation:

Some economists do not believe that providing intellectual property rights are enough to inspire or compensate for innovation and believe that even more rights should be given to inventors.

They also do not believe that patents are completely appropriate because they tend to expire eventually.

Anna007 [38]

Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.

Explanation:

Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.

This means that this stock will reduce to:

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The answer is: Breakpoint Sale

Explanation:

A breakpoint sale  violation occurs when a RR sells mutual fund shares to a client and doesn't disclose reduced sales charges that the client would qualify for if they had bought just a few more shares.

Your broker requires an initial margin of $878 per futures contract on wheat and a maintenance margin of $650 per contract. Whea
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

b. Call for $1,500

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the amount of margin call by using following formula:-

Loss of today = future contracts based total bushels × total contract × (settlement cost per bushels - future contract price per bushels)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × (390 cents  - 385 cents)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × 5 cents

= 150,000 cents

And we know that

100 cents = 1 dollar

so,

150,000 cents ÷ 100 =$1,500

Initial margin $878 per future contract and maintenance margin $650 per contract, Margins of both are less than loss .So we have to pay $1,500 in initial margin.

According to the analysis, we will receive $1,500 margin call.

Therefore option (B) call for $1,500 is correct.
