Answer:

Like the title of the article states, all economy relayed choices are the results of an incentive or disincentive a potential polluter faces. He gave the example of the Lake Erie, stating that is highly reasonable (although highly unethical) it is polluted, as it is financially efficient to simply dump garbage in the lake, rather than invest in a recycling or waste management system. He also added, that since the lake is a public good, no one will look at the pollution as a serious concern, since it isn't owned by anybody.

All of this implies that a structured, incentive system has to be created in order to curb pollution.

1. How much interest would you pay on a loan of $1,230 for 15 months at 15 percent APR if the interest is 18.75 per $100?

The chart probably refers to interest per $100 of loan. So, the interest for a $1,230 loan would be (1230/100) * 18.75 = 230.625 ~ 230.63
So, the answer will be B $230.63.

2. Sherri borrowed $3,200 at 13 percent APR for 18 months. If she must pay 19.5 per $100, what is the total interest?
3,200 / 100 = 32 ... x 19.5 = 624
Principal x int rate x time = 3200 x .13 x 1.5 yr = 624 interest

So, the answer will be the A $624.

3. What is the total amount that Sherri (in question number 2) will repay?

The correct answer will be the $3,824.

Which of the accompanying boxplots likely has the data with the larger standard deviation? why?

Paraphin [41]

The answer is Boxplot II. The standard deviation for the data associated with Boxplot II will likely have a larger standard deviation. Boxplot II has a greater spread than Boxplot I, as measured by the interquartile range, which is related directly to the standard deviation of a data set.

A price ceiling will have NO immediate effect if: a. it is set above the equilibrium price. b. the equilibrium price is above th

ioda

Answer:

A. Set above equilibrium price

Explanation:

A price ceiling is a mandatory maximum price that a seller is allowed to charge. Generally, a government may impose this in order to protect consumers, especially with regards to the purchase of essential goods.

If the price ceiling was set below the equilibrium price (option c) or if the equilibrium price is above the price ceiling (option b), it will immediately cause a shortage (option d) since the quantity demanded would be higher than the quantity supplied when the price falls. This is because people will be willing to purchase more since it is cheaper but suppliers will be willing to produce less due to lower profits. Hence, options b, c and d are eliminated.

Option A is correct because... (please refer attached diagram):

When the price ceiling is above the equilibrium price, suppliers are willing to supply more since they can make higher profits but consumers will reduce purchasing since it is expensive. However, it does not cause any immediate effect because it takes time for suppliers to be able to produce more and cannot be done immediately unless anticipated in advance. In the long run however, quantity demanded will fall from equilibrium quantity to D1 and quantity supplied will rise from equilibrium quantity to S1. Hence, causing a surplus between D1 - S1 in the long run.
