Answer:

A. Decrease

B. $200

C. $190

D. $175

Explanation:

The noise from airplanes constitute a negative externality and hence tax was levied on airplane tickets. This is known as pigouvian tax.

Negative externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties is less than the costs.

If a tax is levied on a good or service, it makes the good or service more expensive and quantity demanded would fall as a result. So the demand for airplane tickets is expected to fall as a result of the impostion of tax.

The social optimal price of the ticket is the priceof the ticket after the impostion of tax. This is $200

The private market price is the price before the impostion of tax. This is $190

How much the firm receives after paying for tax = social optimal price - tax

$200 - $25 = $175

I hope my answer helps you

<h3>Answer: Neither. They will use International Law. </h3>

Explanation:

When companies from different countries get  into a contract, it is quite desirable that they stipulate which country's laws that they will abide by should the need arise.

However, if this is not done, there is still a method of enforcing. When not specifically listed, contract between companies from different countries falls under a branch of Private International law which is International Contract Law which is synonymous with International Sales law.

This law falls under the jurisdiction of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) which came into effect in January 1988.

Both France and the United States of America have ratified the law and so Cowboy Hats is free to take legal action within this framework if they so please.

Which of the following would make it easier to maintain an effective collusive agreement in a cartel?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A decrease in the elasticity of demand for the cartel's product.

Explanation:

The cartel is under the control of companies operating in the same area. This is undesirable. It is concluded between businesses and these contracts prevent competition. Such arrangements are also prevented by governments, which aims to promote competition among governments across the country. This type of arrangement creates unity and demonstrates business behavior in activities that prevent other competitors from entering the sector.

Adverse effects on consumers include:

1) Higher prices - cartel members can raise prices, which reduces the demand elasticity of any member.

2)  Lack of Transparency - Members may agree to hide prices or hide information such as hidden charges in credit card transactions.

3) Limited production - Members may agree to limit market production, such as OPEC and oil quotas.

4) Build Market - Cartel members can collectively divide a market into regions or regions and not compete in each other's territory.

Guy​ Ferrell, a student who lives in the country​ Paragon, observes that analysts are cutting their growth forecasts for the eco
Rama09 [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The statement, if​ true, that would explain the​ analysts' predictions would be "the Producer Price Index has been steadily increasing over the past few months."

That is what would have been the factor that supports the forecast. Although inflation has been constant at low levels, what changed was the Producer Price Index that is moving up. This factor could modify the results despite inflation is stable at this moment. When inflation is high, it directly affects the price of goods and the consumer.
