Answer:

The answer is: the equilibrium quantity is larger than the socially optimal quantity.

Explanation:

In order for the equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity to be equal, the government subsidy should have been equal to the positive externality created by the flu shots ($8).  Since the government subsidy is larger, $11, then the equilibrium quantity will be higher (more flu shots supplied because of high subsidy).

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

E. efficiency wages

Explanation:

Clearly this isn't a discrimination case, as Rob has a robust background with the company (15 years). Although their work output may be the same, Rob's experience justifies the higher pay.

This is one form of efficiency wage theory, holding that higher wages lead to increased employee productivity. This way, Rob gets an incentive for staying with the company.

Suppose there are only two firms that sell Blu-ray players, Movietonia and Videotech. The following payoff Matrix shows the prof
Karolina [17]

Answer:

From the given Matrix we can see that if videotech is selecting a high price, movietonia has a higher profit when it is charging a low price and this profit is 18. Similarly when videotech is selecting a lower price movietonia again has a higher profit when it is selecting a lower price which is 10. This indicates that movie tonia has a dominant strategy of selecting a low price.

If movietonia is selecting a high price videotech has a a higher pay off of 18 when it is selecting a low price. In case movietonia is selecting a low price videotech again has a higher profit when it is selecting a low price and this profi is 10.

Therefore videotech and movietonia both have dominant strategy of selecting a low price and this implies that low price, low price will be the Nash equilibrium.

In case the two firms are not colluding, both of them will choose a low price.

This is definitely an example of business dilemma game. The statement is true.

Sebastian has just graduated after four years of university. He took out an unsubsidized Stafford loan worth $8,180 to help pay
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$1,926.97

Explanation:

Given the following :

Loan amount (L) = 8,180

Interest rate (I) = 5.3%

Period (n) = 4 years

Using the formula:

A = L(1 + I/t)^nt

Where A = final amount

t = number of compounding periods per year

A = 8180( 1 + 0.053/12)^(4 * 12)

A = 8180 ( 1 + 0.0044166)^48

A = 8180 * ( 1.0044166)^48

A = 8180 * 1.2355709

A = 10106.970

Final amount after 4 years = 10,106.970

Hence amount Paid as interest over that period will be :

Final amount - Loan amount

10,106.970 - 8,180

= $1,926.97

Samuel slips on an icy spot in front of an apartment and is hospitalized for three weeks. The owner of the apartment pays Samuel
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

B) $1,800.

Explanation:

$14,000 in medical expenses are not part of Samuel's gross income.

$7,000 in disability payments are not included in Samuel's gross income because he paid the premiums.

$4,000 in pain and suffering compensation are not part of your gross income.

The only payments that are part of Samuel's gross income and therefore are taxed, are his regular monthly salary payments = $1,800. If Samuel's disability insurance premium had been paid by his employer, then the $7,000 would have been taxable.
