Assuming that the term structure of interest rates is determined as posited by the pure expectations theory, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Inflation is expected to be zero. b. Consumer prices as measured by an index of inflation are expected to rise at a constant rate. c. The maturity risk premium is assumed to be zero. d. In equilibrium, long-term rates must be equal to short-term rates. e. An upward-sloping yield curve implies that future short-term rates are expected to decline.

Power plants that rely on coal increase the amount of sulfur dioxide that dissolves into the air, eventually increasing the acidity of precipitation. the higher acidity of rain and snow can damage forests by making it more difficult for plants to absorb minerals from the soil. the equations below provide information about the market demand and supply of electricity. there is a constant marginal external cost of $25 per unit of electricity. d: qd= 200 – 2ps: qs=p – 10what quantity of electricity satisfies allocative efficiency in this market? a. 60b. 70c. 50d. 43.3

Amonopolist’s inverse demand function is p = 150 – 3q. the company produces output at two facilities; the marginal cost of producing at facility 1 is mc1(q1) = 6q1, and the marginal cost of producing at facility 2 is mc2(q2) = 2q2.a. provide the equation for the monopolist’s marginal revenue function. (hint: recall that q1 + q2 = q.)mr(q) = 150 - 6 q1 - 3 q2b. determine the profit-maximizing level of output for each facility. output for facility 1: output for facility 2: c. determine the profit-maximizing price.$
