Answer:

Jack and Jill

a. The most a guard can charge per month and still be assured of being hired by at least one of them = $120

b. The vote will be 50 - 50.  The local authority will decide since there is a 50 - 50 chance.

The economic surplus would be higher if the neighborhood had a guard by $80 ($200 - $120).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Value of a security guard to Jack = $50 per month

Value of a security guard to Jill = $150 per month

Total value = $200 per month

Competitive wage for a security guard = $120 per month

Balance of payments accounts are the accounts in which a nation records its​ _____.
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The balance of payments accounts also known as balance of international payments, are the accounts in which a nation records, summarizes all transactions that a country's individuals, companies and government bodies complete with individuals, companies and government bodies outside the country. These transactions consist of imports and exports of goods, services and capital, as well as transfer payments, such as foreign aid and remittances.

A country's balance of payments and its net international investment position together constitute its international accounts.

The balance of payments divides transactions in two accounts: the current account and the capital account. Sometimes the capital account is called the financial account, with a separate, usually very small, capital account listed separately. The current account includes transactions in goods, services, investment income and current transfers. The capital account, broadly defined, includes transactions in financial instruments and central bank reserves. Narrowly defined, it includes only transactions in financial instruments. The current account is included in calculations of national output, while the capital account is not.
