Answer:
Real Surplus is $200 billion
Explanation:
Inflation = 14%
Debt = $4 trillion = $4,000 billion
Nominal deficit = $360 billion
Real Deficit = Nominal deficit - (Inflation*Debt)
= $360 - 14% * 4,000
= $360 - 560
= -$200
Hence, the answer is Real Surplus of $200 billion
I would say in these cases where candidates are being seen at disaster sites or orphanages for example, they are attempting to catch media attention for their apparent humanitarian qualities and thus garner support amongst the voters.
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
In an unregulated market, negative externality results in a higher social marginal cost than the firm marginal cost because this market is not properly regulated by the government officials. Hence, these firms are not taking into account the effect of negative externalities in their cost.
We know that the consumer's decision is more offenly based on the point where the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit because they are not taking the impact of negative externalities.
If proper action is not taken by the government, negative externality will result in a market inefficiencies.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.
However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.
