Answer:

96.02

Explanation:

Lottery's Expected utility = \sqrt{100} = 10

Income in good state = 100 - 36 + G = 64 + G

Income in bad state = 100 - 36 = 64

Probability in good state = 43%

Probability in bad state = 100% - 43% = 57%

Expected utility = Probability in good state x \sqrt{(64 + G )} + Probability in bad state x \sqrt{64\\}

10 = 43% x \sqrt{(64 + G )} + 57% x 8

10 = 43% x \sqrt{(64 + G )} + 4.56

10 - 4.56 = 43% x \sqrt{(64 + G )}

5.44 = = 43% x \sqrt{(64 + G )}

5.44 / 43% = \sqrt{(64 + G )}

12.65 = \sqrt{(64 + G )}

12.65^{2} = (\sqrt{(64 + G )})^{2}

160.0225 = 64 + G

G = 160.0225 - 64

G = 96.0225

G = 96.02

Suppose that the public holds 50% of the money supply in currency and the reserve requirement is 20%. Banks hold no excess reser
astra-53 [7]

Answer: $2,400; $2,400

Explanation:

If a deposit of $6,000 is made, the reserve requirement is 20% so the bank will have to reserve this amount of:

= 6,000 * 20%

= $1,200

The bank will be left with:

= 6,000 - 1,200

= $4,800

The bank lends all of this out.

The public holds 50% of the currency so they will keep:

= 50% * 4,800

= $2,400

The rest - which is $2,400 - will be deposited as checkable deposits.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The hedonic property value method determines the extent that environmental or ecosystem factors affect the price of a home.  This implies that the method cannot be used to estimate lost, non-use value associated with oil pollution at remote, uninhabited locations, as stated in the question.  Since the hedonic property value method is used to estimate the housing prices that reflect the value of local environmental attributes, it is not useful for uninhabited, remote locations and properties.
