Answer:

C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.

Explanation:

Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.

Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.

Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.

So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).

Can u solve this plsss

Inessa [10]

The main reason why the Japanese liberalized the bank mergers in Japan was to protect the economy and prevent an economic crash.

<h3>What is Financial Liberalization?</h3>

This refers to the removal of regulatory control in the financial sector to promote economic growth.

The government of Japan faced an economic crash that threatened to cripple the economy due to stock market crash, failing banks, etc and there was the use of risk-based capital to try and prevent this, amongst other solutions.

Hence, we can see that the key aspects of the liberalization program were:

Mergers
Acquisitions.

The key criticism of the program is that it failed to address the scale of the problem and the solution was only short-term.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: $24,747.92

Based on the given amounts of increased in savings for the first 3 months, we have the following assumptions:

1) That the savings increase by 2.44% monthly

$18,962.50 -18,500=462.50, 462.50/18962*100=2.44%

$19,436.56--$18,962.50=$474.06, 474.06/19,436.56*100=2.44%

$19,922.48-$19,436.56=485.92, 485.92/19,922.48*100=2.44%

2) That the monthly interest for the first 3 months had an incremental of $0.30 monthly

462.50,474.06 and 485.92 has an incremental of 11.56 and 11.86 (with a difference of .30)

Continuing on with the increments gives savings of $24,747.92 in the 12th month.
