Answer:
Malcolm is a professional writer. He has already published many best-sellers. One of his friends expressed interest in knowing more about his writing process, so Malcolm showed his friend a few of his first drafts. The friend observed that the drafts were nothing like the final book, and the writing seemed amateurish compared to Malcolm's published work. When asked about it, Malcolm said that it was the normal way of things. In this scenario, the following is the reason of this:
A) Malcolm would have revised his work many times before he was satisfied with it.
Explanation:
- The option A is best reason because generally a writer doesn't break his or her flow while writing and that is what Malcolm would have done. After, he would have revised his work many times until he was satisfied.
- The option B is not correct as it is not possible to change the book of a writer entirely by the publishing company.
- The option C is also incorrect as the drafts were not long and cohesive because his friend found the draft amateurish but not perfect.
- The option D is incorrect as it is not true that writers only create first draft and other people produce all other subsequent drafts.
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:
0.69
Explanation:
From the question above on December 31, 2018 a company has an assets of $29 billion and stockholders equity of $22 billion.
On December 31, 2019 the same company recorded an assets of $55billion and stockholders equity of $17billion
Inorder to calculate the debt-to-assess ratio the first step is to find the amount of liabilities
Liabilities= Assets-Stockholders equity
Assets= $55 billion
Stockholders equity= $17 billion
= $55billion-$17billion
= $38 billion
Therefore, the debt-to-assets ratio can be calculated as follows
Debt-to-assets ratio= Total liabilities/Total Assets
= $38 billion/ $55 billion
= 0.69
Hence on December 31, 3019 the debt-to-assets ratio is 0.69
Answer:
The stock price is $37.16
Explanation:
Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.
Formula to calculate the value of stock
Price = Dividend / ( Rate or return - growth rate )
Price = $3.27 / ( 12.2% - 3.4% )
Price = $3.27 / 12.2% - 3.4%
Price = $3.27 / 8.8%
Price = $37.16
Answer: I am right, the increased demand represents a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
Explanation:
The increase in aggregate demand by foreigners occurred as a result of a fall in the value of the US dollars and aggreagrate price level stayed the same. Therefore, the change in aggregate demand didn't occur as a result of a change in price.
If agregrate demand changed as a result of a change in the aggregate price levels, there would be a change in quantity demanded and a movement along the demand curve.
It's only a change in price that result results in a movement along the aggregate demand curve.
Other factors that leads to a change in demand either shifts the aggregate demand curve to the left or to the right.
Therefore, an increase in aggregate demand as a result of the fall in value of US dollars causes the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right.
The shift in the aggregate demand curve to the right shows that demand has increased but aggregate price hasn't changed.
