Answer:

a. charged any ticket price above $0 for the four remaining seats

Explanation:

Marginal cost refers to the extra expense incurred by a business in producing as an additional unit. For a business to be profitable, its marginal cost should be equal or greater than the marginal revenue.

The Get-There-Safe Bus company has a marginal cost of zero or an additional passenger. It means the cost associated with selling one more passenger ticket is zero.  For the bus company to be profitable, it must sell an extra ticket at a price greater than the marginal cost. Therefore, a price greater than zero will result in profit.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future

Explanation:

The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.

On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.

Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a. Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting  

Explanation:

The fishermen sell the fish for $8,000 a year at local market.

Due to pollution emitted by company into stream, their catch is dwindling and also their income.

The company benefits from usage of stream to the tune of $4,000 a year.  In such scenario, if company compensates the fishermen for any amount between $8,000 and $40,000 then, in that case, optimal solution to the problem can be achieved in absence of any other transaction cost as per the Coase Theorem.

Therefore, The Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting.
