Answer:

a. $700,000

86%

c. No

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn $700,000 per year. This equals the normal salary for a designer, $100,000, plus the economic rent he collects for his special talent, $600,000.  

6/7 or 0.857 or 86% of his salary is thus economic rent. This is found by 600,000/700,000

b. The answer is No. If Jacobs’s employer withholds some of the additional revenue it takes in as a result of hiring him, some other advertising company will offer him a higher salary and still manage to earn an economic profit. Bidding for Jacobs will continue until firms are indifferent between paying him $600,000 and hiring any other designer for $100,000.

bazaltina [42]

Which occurrence could cause the demand curve for cars in your city to shift to the left? A layoff of 500 workers at the city's airport.

Out of the choices, a layoff of 500 workers is the only negative impact that would happen. When there is a shift to the left of the demand curve, then there is a decrease in the demand that is needed. Some exmaples of a shift to the left of the demand curve is a decrease in income, decrease in the price of a substitute product or service and the rise in a price of another option. All of these are negatively going to effect consumer demand for a good or service.

The appropriate location between two extremes is known as:
AfilCa [17]
Hey there!

The idea of that perfect medium between two extremes was an Ancient Greek idea by someone who was considered one of the greatest thinker or philosopher to ever live. He questioned many ideas and created many of his own that we still use today. His name was Aristotle.

This golden mean, as it was called, was between two large extremes, like humble and modesty, or smart and uninformed. You had to get that golden mean in order to be successful. To the Greeks, this was good news. The ancient Greeks used math as proof there was a God, and another example of proportionality leading to good certainly caused them pleasure.

For example, if you have a lot of things at home, the two extremes would be giving them all away, or keeping them all. You could keep some and give some, and that would the appropriate golden mean.

Hope this helps!

Two people apply for loans of the same amount. Due to differences in their credit scores, their payments differ by $72 per month
Vlada [557]

Answer:

$2592

Explanation:

Let the amount of loan applied for by both person be $x and $y respectively. If their loan differs by $72 each month, the second person would have applied for $(x+72) each month.

Amount applied by first person will be $x at the end of first month

Amount applied by second person will be $(x+72) at the end of first month

At the end of 36 months, the amount applied for by the first man will be $36x

At the end of 36 months, the amount applied for by the second man will be $36(x+72)

First person 'x' =$36x

Second person 'y' = $36(x+72)

If x pays $36x

y will pay $(36x+2592)

Their difference will become

$36x+$2592-$36x

= $2592

The person with the lower credit score will pay $2592 at the end of the 36-month loan
