Answer:
The correct answer is c. human capital conveys positive externalities.
Explanation:
Externalities are defined as consumption, production and investment decisions made by individuals, households and companies and that affect third parties that do not participate directly in those transactions. Sometimes those indirect effects are tiny. But when they grow up, they can be problematic; That is what economists call "externalities." Externalities are one of the main reasons that lead governments to intervene in the economy.
Positive externalities: In this case, it is about the difference between private and social benefits. For example, research and development activities are widely considered as generating positive effects that transcend the producer (usually the company that finances them). The reason is that research and development enrich general knowledge, which contributes to other discoveries and advances. However, the profitability perceived by a company that sells products based on its own research and development activities does not usually reflect the profitability perceived by its indirect beneficiaries. When externalities are positive, private profitability is lower than social profitability.
Answer:
buying the bill at a discount from the face value to be received at maturity.
Explanation:
Treasury bills also referred to as T-bills are short term financial instruments. T-bills are issued at a discount from the face value or par value of the bill. Therefore, a T-bill which has a face value of $2000 may have a purchase price of $1,500. The investor will buy the T-bill for $1,500 and upon maturity of the instrument, the investor will receive $2000. The difference between the purchase price of $1,500 and the amount received at maturity of $2000 is interest earned by the investor.
Answer:
total taxable income = $73,000
tax liability = $7,505
Explanation:
Clarice's ordinary income $30,000
Clarice's capital gains:
- selling of stock = $34,000 - $16,000 = $18,000
- selling of coin collection = $55,000 - $30,000 = $25,000
- total long term capital gains = $43,000
Clarice's taxable income = $73,000
Clarice's ordinary income tax rate 2011:
ordinary income = $30,000 - standard deduction $5,800 = $24,200
- 10% on taxable income from $0 to $8,500 = $850
- 15% on taxable income over $8,500 to $34,500 = $2,355
ordinary income taxes = $3,205
Clarice's capital gains tax rate 2011 = 10%
capital gains taxes = $43,000 x 10% = $4,300
total tax liability = $7,505
