Total has discovered a potential 1 billion barrels of “wet” gas off the coast of South Africa. The gas could be used as petrol or perhaps even converted into electricity, according to one expert. The Brulpadda gas find should mean more tax revenue and a stronger rand. How Will It Affect South Africans Firstly, government will earn more tax. Total and its partners will pay the regular 28% corporate tax on all taxable income from Brulpadda. According to the most optimistic estimates, the Brulpadda find could yield $1 trillion (R14.4 trillion) for Total and its partners, which would mean a massive tax windfall for South Africa. Certain Businesses and Skills Will Be in Demand The Brulpadda find could have a massive boost to all kinds of businesses in South Africa. Companies providing helicopters, marine services, catering supplies and transport to get supplies to the site would be required.

4.1 Assuming that government budget is at zero balance discuss the implication of the gas find in terms of government’s fiscal policy for the following economic factors:

4.1.1 Collection of revenue through taxation on personal income (6)

4.1.2 Government spending on the provision of goods and services (7)

4.2 Explain, with the aid of a diagram, the economic impact on cost-push inflation and aggregate output. (12)

4.3 Discuss the main type of unemployment that would be reduced

C# programming

Write a number guessing game using System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary.

• Generate 10 distinct random numbers in the range of 1 to 20. Each random number is associated with a prize money (from 1 to 10000). Use a Dictionary to store the mapping between the random number and the prize money.
• Ask user for two distinct numbers, a and b, both from 1 to 20; if a and b are not distinct, or out of range, quit the program
• Lookup the prize money from both numbers and print out the sum via "You earned XXXX in total!". If the table does not contain the number, assume the prize money is 0.

e.g. Suppose we generate the following random numbers and penalty money:

If a user guess 5 and 3, we output "You earned 234 in total!"

If a user guess 1 and 13, we output "You earned 335 in total!"

If a user guess 1 and 1, quit

* Please use seeded random generation to help you debug your code, i.e. "Random rand = new Random(0);"

**You may have the following properties/methods useful: Count, ContainsKey, Add

Please copy and paste the final working program here:

The use of computers in education is referred to as computer-assisted instruction (CAI). More sophisticated CAI systems monitor the student’s performance over a period of time. The decision to begin a new topic is often based on the student’s success with previous topics. Modify the following auxiliary program (Computers are playing an increasing role in education. Write a program that will help an elementary school student learn multiplication. Use rand to produce two positive one-digit integers. It should then type a question such as: How much is 8 * 9? The student then types the answer. Your program checks the student’s answer. If it is correct, print “Very good!” and then ask another addition question. If the answer is wrong, print “No. Please try again.” and then let the student try the same question again repeatedly until the student finally gets it right. Terminate the program when the student has 5 right answers.) to count the number of correct and incorrect responses typed by the student. After the student types 5 answers, your program should calculate the percentage of correct responses. If the percentage is lower than 75 percent, your program should print “Please ask for extra help” and then terminate. If the percentage is 75 percent or higher, your program should print “Good work!” and then terminate.

I am programming student so please keep code simple enough that I can learn from it thanks

After recent Demogorgon invasion in Hawkins, Indiana, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Mike, and Eleven start a firm, named DemoGone, which sells Demogorgon defense kits door-to-door. These kits include, among other things, Christmas lights, a baseball bat, and upon Eleven's request, Eggo Waffles. Since nobody else knows how to defeat Demogorgons DemoGone is a Monopoly. Demand for these defense kits is Q^D = 100 - 2P Total Costs are TC₁ = 20q₁ Which imply Marginal Costs of MC₁ = 20

A) Assume that DemoGone is making profits, graph the firms profit maximization problem. Be sure to label all axes and relevant lines and curves. Also point out DemoGone's profit maximizing price and quantity as well as the socially efficient output level.

B) Calculate DemoGone's solution (i.e. the monopoly equilibrium.) How much profit is generated by that choice?

After observing the killer profit her brother's firm is making, Nancy and her rebel boyfriend Steve enter the Demogorgon Defense market selling their own, identical kit. Their firm, "What about Barb" faces the same production costs as DemoGone.

C) If "What about Barb" and DemoGone act as competing Duopolists, what is the duopoly outcome of quantities and price? What about profits?

D) If both firms were forced to price at marginal costs, what are quantities, price, and profits here?

E) If both firms perfectly colluded, what is the optimal quantity and price? Profits?

F) Is this cartel sustainable?

When you decide to go and have a dinner with your friends in a world class hotel such as the Langham hotel or Coronado Beach, perhaps you would be horrified by the high price you would have to pay for a bottle of soft drink such as Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola or wine or even bottled water. Perhaps you begin to ponder why the same commodity that you can get at a supermarket at one tenth the hotel price is going for such an astronomical price at the hotel.Of course, such facilities will have a warning such "you are not allowed to bring in your own food or drinks" posted at appropriate places in the facility for the attention of customers.In another scenario, you enter a designer shop to buy clothes with a designer label for a friend on their birthday or on Valentine day and you reckon the clothes are so much expensive compared to similar own brand clothes from a clothing or chain store, even though they may cost a similar amount to produce.

Questions

Using your knowledge
in basic economics, especially
of the concept of demand and supply, attributes of a competitive market and price elasticity of demand, briefly discuss the following

A. Why may a hotel charge such very high prices for wine, soft drinks or even bottled water and yet quite reasonable prices for food and still get away with such high prices?

B. Why are designer shops able to price their clothes so very expensive and yet still get clients even though similar clothes that are available in a supermarket chain shops cost pretty much less?

Assume you work for the Virginia Department of Health. Your boss just came to you with one of his brilliant ideas to reduce smoking in the state. He just learned that raising the price of a good will reduce consumption of it, so he wants to impose a “sin” tax on cigarettes to reduce smoking by 1,000 packs per day. From your economic research unit, you know the inverse demand function for cigarettes P(cig)=10-4Q(cig) [paranethesis are subscripts] where P(cig) is the price of a pack of cigarettes in dollars and Qcig is the daily number of packs in thousands. A quick check at the Kwik-E-Mart tells you that the current price of cigarettes is $2 per pack.

a. Your boss said that the Republicans in the state legislator will only allow a new tax of $2 per pack to be levied, but he thinks doubling the price should be enough to achieve his goals. Explain to him why he’s wrong. As part of your explanation you should show how much a reduction in smoking, in percentage terms, would result from a 100% price increase.

b. But he argues that he achieved the same desired reduction in consumption of pink tennis balls (which contained known carcinogens), so surely it would work with cigarettes as well. Comparing and contrasting the characteristics of the two goods, explain to him why he’s wrong.

c. How high would the tax need to be to achieve his goal of a 1,000 pack reduction?
