National defense is a good that is non excludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that, instead of national defense being p

aid with tax dollars, national defense is paid by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia.
Alan, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national defense budget Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Alan. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10. Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense, leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole.
Suppose that, instead of relying on voluntary contributions, the government simply levies a tax of $10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Alan be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10 instead of contributing voluntarily?
If Alan is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number.

Answer:

Alan is better off by $15

Explanation:

the number of citizens in latvia = 10

if citizens were levied $10 each, total amount

= 10*10

=$100

each persons valuation = 100*0.25

= $25

$25 is also Alans valuation sice he is a part of this population.

since he contribited $10, his net gain would be

$25.00 - $10.00

= $15.00

Alan is better of by $15 in the tax system.

The Ad Council of America creates an ad that shows teens in a car having fun while driving in the city. They are enjoying music
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:The idea of the Ad - do not text while driving

Explanation:

Texting and driving is dangerous – that is a fact. Americans are highly aware of and concerned about the issue. More than nine in ten Americans believe sending (94%) and reading (91%) texts while driving is dangerous or very dangerous. There have been many efforts to educate and convey the potential consequences of texting and driving using scare tactics or preachy messaging. And, while research shows that people are convinced that the behavior is dangerous, they are still doing it. In order to address the disconnect between awareness and behavior, the Texting and Driving Prevention campaign aims to go beyond showing people the potential crashes and gruesome end results.Texting while driving, also called texting and driving, is the act of composing, sending, reading text messages, email, or making similar use of the web on a mobile phone while operating a motor vehicle. Texting while driving is considered extremely dangerous by many people, including authorities, and in some places have either been outlawed or restricted. As a form of distracted driving, texting while driving significantly increases the chances that a driver will be involved in a motor vehicle accident.

Your neighbor, Bayonetta, offers you an investment opportunity which will pay a single lump sum of $2,150 four years from today.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

18.24%

Explanation:

Annual rate of return is used in determining the return on an investment over a 12 month or one year period.

Annual rate of return = [(future value / cost ) ^( 1/n) ] - 1

future value = 2150

present cost = 1100

n = number of years = 4

(2150 / 1100)^(1/4) - 1 = 0.1824 = 18.24%
