<span>The answer is price. The price of a good conveys about its
relative scarcity or abundancy. If the price is high, the good is scare meaning
you can gain money by selling extra of it, and you can save money by buying a
lesser amount of it. If you act according to your self-interest, selling more
and buying less of that costly good, the scarcity of that good will be toned-down.
If the price of a good is low, you can exhilarated to do the contrary, thus removing
any excess of the good in the market. </span>
Someone must write a check
Amount of money deposited in the two accounts is 80% of 7500$.
Amount of money in the two accounts = 0.8 * 7500 = 6000$
Now assume that the amount deposited in CD account is m and the amount deposited in the saving bond is n.
m + n = 6000
Therefore: m = 6000 - n ................> equation I
Now we write another equation expressing the savings:
0.04m + 0.07n = 360 ............> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II:
0.04 (6000-n) + 0.07n = 360
240 - 0.04n + 0.07n = 360
0.03n = 120
n = 4000 $
Substitute with n in equation I to get the value of m as follows:
m = 6000 - n = 6000 - 4000 = 2000
Based on these calculations:
The amount of money deposited in the CD = 2000$
The amount of money deposited in the saving account = 4000$
Answer:
(C) Joss should charge Iris $500 and Daphne $800, that way economic surplus is maximized.
