Regulators need the expanded
authorities over this category of goods, because it has a vast
range of different types of products, many new types of products
coming up in the market whose category is very vague and rising
cases of consumer complaints, other than discriminatory ads being
given by the companies of consumer goods. For example, cosmetics
and fairness creams come into the market with exaggerated claims
that are non-proven. Such types of product should be regulated more
stringently to prevent any damages to the consumers. It is only
possible, when regulators get expanded authority over these
consumer products.
An exchange economy consists of two individuals---consumer A and consumer B with preferences over two goods---goods X and Y. Suppose consumer A is initially endowed with 9 units of good X and 6 units of good Y and consumer B is initially endowed with 91 units of good X and 14 units of good Y. Both consumer A and consumer B have identical preferences with the following marginal rates of substitution: MUX - 1 YA MRS, = MUX - and...

How do the momentum and pressure terms in the thrust equation vary between an over- expanded, optimally expanded, and under-expanded nozzle? Why are the characteristic velocity (c*) and thrust coefficient (C used to compare rocket performance? What factors affect these two parameters? Why a bell-shaped nozzle performs better than a conical nozzle rocket. Give several reasons?

Do you think the use of behavioral nudges should be expanded? Suppose an economic analysis determined the efficient choice for the average consumer, what are the pros and cons of making the average efficient choice for the population a default that consumers would have to override?

A basket of goods for a given consumer includes two goods, X and Z. Consumer income is equal to $1,000 and the prices of these two goods are as follows: Px = $20 P2 = $50 This consumer is consuming 10 units of good X. Suppose that over the course of a year, the price of good X changes by - 10% and the price of good Z changes by 10%. How much income would be required for the consumer...
A consumer organization estimates that over a 1-year period 18 % of cars will need to be repaired once, 6 % will need repairs twice, and 4 % will require three or more repairs. What is the probability that a car chosen at random will need a) no repairs? b) no more than one repair? c) some repairs? a) The probability that a car will require no repairs is nothing . (Do not round.) b) The probability that a...

How does consumer Protection Authority (CPA) bring action ? How is it different than FTC in bringing action?
A consumer organization estimates that over a 1-year period 15% of cars will need to be repaired once, 6% will need repairs twice, and 2% will require three or more repairs. If you own two cars, what is the probability that a) neither will need repair? b) both will need repair? c) at least one car will need repair?
I need a step by step solution of the following problem;
