Answer:
a. 550,000
Explanation:
The gain on the asset is calculated by the sales proceeds minus the original cost of the asset.
In this question the home' initial cost is $200,000 and it is sold on $750,000. In absence of any unusual or hardship circumstances, the direct gains is $550,000 ( $750,000 - $200,000) as all the closing costs are paid by the buyer, so, Barney ans Betty should include the whole gain of $550,000 in the gross income.
It changes over time, depending on the expected rate of return on productive assets exchanged among market participants and people's time preferences for consumption.
Equilibrium is the point where supply meets demand. Look at the table and see where those two columns are the same.
For B. look at the chart and see at 1,50 rent (the first column) the demand is greater than supply or not. If demand is less than supply, there is a surplus. If demand is higher, there is a shortage.
This applies to question C as well. Look at the first column, find the rent, and see if there is more supply or more demand.
Answer:
Option D. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $151 and $216.
Explanation:
A confidence interval is a range of values, derived from the sample statistics, which may include the value of an unknown population parameter.
A 95% confidence interval indicates that between 152 of 160 samples (95%) of the same population will produce confidence intervals that will contain the population parameter.
It also means that we have a 95% confidence that the average (average amount) is among the resulting amounts obtained.
Logically, option "D" is missing the final part. This would be: D. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $ 15.
This is the only true option, since the test is based on a sample of only 160 households, the entire population of households cannot be included.
Hence, the correct option is:
Option D. We are 95% confident that the mean amount spent on electric service among the 160 households is between $151 and $216.
