Beatriz enjoys writing and uses a large amount of paper. Currently, paper costs 2 cents per sheet. The formula for her demand curve is S = 52500 – 5000PS, where PS is the price of and S is the number of sheets purchased. The governor of her state proposed taxing paper at the rate of $0.50 for each 100 sheets. Assume that this policy would increase the price of paper to 2.5 cents per sheet (including tax) a. Draw Beatriz demand curve. Using the method described in Section 6.2, compute the change in her consumer surplus for the proposed tax increase.
b. How much revenue will the government raise by taxing Beatriz? How does that revenue compare to her economic losses? Does the new tax raise enough revenue for the government to compensate her for her loss?

Stock a has a beta of 1.2 and a standard deviation of 20%. stock b has a beta of 0.8 and a standard deviation of 25%. portfolio p has $200,000 consisting of $100,000 invested in stock a and $100,000 in stock b. which of the following statements is correct? (assume that the stocks are in equilibrium.) (a) stock b has a higher required rate of return than stock a. (b) portfolio p has a standard deviation of 22.5%. (c) portfolio p has a beta equal to 1.0. (d) more information is needed to determine the portfolio's beta. (e) stock a's returns are less highly correlated with the returns on most other stocks than are b's returns.

Demand increases by less than supply increases. as a result, (a) equilibrium price will decline and equilibrium quantity will rise. (b) both equilibrium price and quantity will decline. (c) both equilibrium price and quantity will rise

Now ray has had the tires for two months and he notices that the tread has started to pull away from the tire. he has already contacted the place who sold the tires and calmly and accurately explained the problem. they didn’t him because they no longer carry that tire. so he talked with the manager and he still did not get the tire replaced. his consumer rights are being violated. pretend you are ray and write a letter to the company’s headquarters. here are some points to keep in mind when writing the letter: include your name, address, and account number, if appropriate. describe your purchase (name of product, serial numbers, date and location of purchase). state the problem and give the history of how you tried to resolve the problem. ask for a specific action. include how you can be reached.
