Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Answer:
C) low-ball technique.
Explanation:
The low ball sales technique is legal, although it is also deceiving. It refers to a technique where a good or service is offered at a low price to attract customers' attention, and then the product or service is offered at a much higher price to include all the amenities or functions initially offered.
This is a very common car sales technique where a car is advertised at a certain price and the features offered correspond to a higher trim. Once the customers approach the dealership, they are told that the advertised price was for the basic model and that the advertised car is actually worth much more.

Forward rate at the time of contract - spot rate today
$1.21 - 1.232 = 0.0232
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much of the casualty loss will be a tax deduction to Zeta, Inc.
Using this formula
Casualty loss tax deduction=Casualty loss-Insurance recovered
Let plug in the formula
Casualty loss tax deduction=$45,000-$30,000
Casualty loss tax deduction=$15,000
Therefore the amount of the casualty loss that will be a tax deduction to Zeta, Inc. is $15,000
