Sue is offered a job reshelving books in the University of Montana library from noon until 1 p.M. Each Friday. Her reservation wage for this task is $10 per hour. If the library director offers Sue $100 per hour, how much economic surplus will she enjoy as a result of accepting the job? Now suppose the library director announces that the earnings from the job will be divided equally among the 400 students who live in Sue's dormitory. Will Sue still accept? Explain how your answers to parts a and b illustrate one of the incentive problems inherent in income redistribution programs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue's initial wage per hour = $10

Sue's wage per hour after the increase = $100

a. Economic surplus to be enjoyed = $100 - $10

                                                      = $90

Sue would enjoy an economic surplus of $90.

b. No, because in this case the wage per hour for each 400 student would be;

                                          =  [tex]\frac{100}{400}[/tex]

                                          = $0.25

                                          = 25 cents

Redistribution of income is the act of equal sharing of wealth among a certain number of people.

The problem here is that Sue would feel cheated with the division of the earnings among 400 students, but very happy when her wages was increased.

Though the income incentive redistribution programs reduce poverty, but it may be unfair.

−7 + 3(8n − 8) = 8(7 + 3n) please show work

Answers

Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−7+3(8n−8)=8(7+3n)

−7+(3)(8n)+(3)(−8)=(8)(7)+(8)(3n)(Distribute)

−7+24n+−24=56+24n

(24n)+(−7+−24)=24n+56(Combine Like Terms)

24n+−31=24n+56

24n−31=24n+56

Step 2: Subtract 24n from both sides.

24n−31−24n=24n+56−24n

−31=56

Step 3: Add 31 to both sides.

−31+31=56+31

What is the range & domain of the set
{(−6, 14), (10, 19), (4, -9), (3, 2), (6, −13)}

Answers

Answer:

The domain is {-6, 3, 4, 6, 10}

The range is {-13, -9, 2, 14, 19}

Step-by-step explanation:

Any set of ordered pairs has a domain and a range

The domain is the values of x-coordinates of all ordered pairs

The range is the values of y-coordinates of all ordered pairs

∵ The set is {(-6, 14), (10, 19), (4, -9), (3, 2), (6, -13)}

x-coordinates of all points are -6, 10, 4, 3, 6

→ These values are the domain of the set

∴ The domain is {-6, 3, 4, 6, 10}

y-coordinates of all points are 14, 19, -9, 2, -13

→ These values are the range of the set

The range is {-13, -9, 2, 14, 19}

Let r varies inversely as u, and r = 8 when u =5. Find r if u=55

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, r varies inversely with u. r=k÷u, k being the constant.

Therefore, k=8×5, ( after making k the subject of your formula).

This implies that k=40.

Now, according to the formula r=k÷u,

r=40÷55

Therefore, r=0.72

Three farmers buy a total of 2,249 acres of land at an auction, Farmer Mel buys land that is 3 times as many acres as Farmer Cassius's land. Farmer Cassius buys land that is 3 times as many acres as Farmer Anne's land. How many acres of land does each farmer buy?​

Answers

Answer:

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Total acre = 2,249

Let

Farmer Anne's land = x

Farmer Cassius = 3x

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

x + 3x + 9x = 2,249

13x = 2,249

x = 173

Farmer Anne's land = x = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 3x

= 3(173)

= 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

= 9(173)

= 1,557 acres

Therefore,

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

Which describes the role of oxygen in photosynthesis? A. It is a reactant, so it is released by the plant. B. It is a product, so it is released by the plant. C. It is a reactant so it enters the plant. D. It is a product, so it enters the plant. ​

Answers

Answer:

B) It is a product, so it is released by the plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Plants release oxygen for humans and humans give carbon dioxide to plants.

- The role of oxygen in photosynthesis is a waste product.

Answer: The oxygen gas is a product, so it is released by the plant.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which the producers make glucose with the help of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The chemical equation representing this reaction follows:

In the above reaction, oxygen gas is written on the product side. So, it is formed by the plant and is released.

Hence, the oxygen gas is a product, so it is released by the plan.
